- Drive lead generation, sales conversions, client retention, and growth of B2B partnerships.
- Oversee brand, content, and digital marketing strategies across multiple channels.
- Evaluate and make recommendations on future e-commerce opportunities.
- Collaborate with the CEO and executive team on business planning, forecasting, and brand development.
- Represent Adventure Canada at industry events, trade shows, and with key partners.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of progressive experience in sales and marketing leadership, ideally in travel, hospitality, or a related industry.
- Proven ability to grow revenue, build brands, and develop teams.
- Hands-on digital marketing expertise, with the ability to oversee strategy and contribute to execution.
- Strong partnership-building skills, particularly in niche markets.
- Expertise in CRM systems, analytics, and sales enablement tools.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and decision-making abilities.
- A passion for travel, culture, and creating unforgettable guest experiences.
Location & Work Model
- Based at our Mississauga, Ontario office (hybrid model with flexibility).
- Occasional travel required, including trade shows, client meetings, and select expeditions.
Why Adventure Canada?
- Be part of a small but mighty team where your work directly shapes our success.
- Contribute to a company that values culture, community, and conservation.
- Enjoy hybrid work flexibility, opportunities to travel, and the chance to make a real impact in a growing organization.

About Adventure Canada
Adventure Canada is a family-run travel company with more than thirty years’ experience specializing in small-ship cruises to the world’s more remote coastlines. We engage, educate, and entertain by connecting people to each other and the land through travel. We travel to the best places, with the best people, in the best way. Our pioneering approach to expedition cruises and small-group experiences emphasizes wildlife, culture, learning, and fun.
By travelling with local experts, learned scholars, scientists, artists, and expedition specialists, we hope to help our clients open their minds and hearts. We know we’ve succeeded when our clients become ambassadors for the places we visit, the cultures we get to know, the animals and the environment we appreciate along the way—and the planet itself!
We build our expedition team around the knowledge and experience of a team of culturalists, many of whom call the regions to which we travel their homes. With their guidance, we gain locals’ perspective while giving back to communities.
