About Us

G Adventures is the world’s largest small-group adventure travel company and we’ve been making epic travel memories happen on all seven continents for over 30 years.
Our mission is simple: to change lives through travel. And not just our travelers’ either. Since day one, our tours have been built to establish meaningful relationships with local communities, directly benefiting the people and places we visit at every step of our tours.
With the demand for travel coming back strong, we are set up and excited for this next chapter in our company’s story — and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
Our DNA revolves around building, nurturing, and developing a diverse culture of people and a true sense of belonging, where everyone is encouraged to bring their authentic self to work each and every day. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your career, and yourself, alongside a passionate, talented, and welcoming community that works hard to spread goodness around the world.
If all that sounds like your kind of thing, well, we can’t wait for you to join us.

About the Role

We’re looking for a German-speaking superstar to join the G Adventures’ EMEA marketing team in London. Your arrival will enable our marketing to create a greater impact on our EMEA region in a variety of ways, and ensure we continue to achieve effective growth. 

This role is centred on three key areas: our Trade (b2b) Marketing, working with the leading travel agencies on the continent to position G Adventures within their marketing programs; our Consumer and Agent events programs in the UK and Germany; and the regional production flow of our brochures. 

Flanked by our regional sales and marketing teams, our creative agencies, and our external partners, you’ll be given the freedom to flex your expertise and instincts to level-up our award-winning service to support the businesses objectives that underpin our mission to change lives through travel.
The role reports to the Director of Marketing in London, UK (EC1V), and benefits from a hybrid working arrangement (3 days in the office, 2 working from home) plus a range of unique benefits (yes, including free holidays!).
Given the focus, the ideal candidate will be fluent in German and English, and have strong experience in the European travel industry, with 5+ years of recent experience in a marketing role, or one with demonstrably transferable skills.

• Own and champion a measurement strategy that provides analysis against a select range of marketing KPIs
