About ReadyGo

ReadyGo is an experience & travel agency for sales teams - we plan luxury trips that check bucket lists. Our programs center on Presidents’ Clubs and Sales Kickoffs, where we handle global hotel sourcing & negotiation, bespoke itineraries, transportation / excursions, on-site ops, and more. We believe top-tier rewards fuel top-tier performance - and we deliver them without losing control of the budget.

This Role

Turn a client’s requirements into a once-in-a-lifetime trip by solving a complex puzzle of budget, destination, and activities - bringing it to life through expert vendor management across hotels & in-market travel agencies.

You’ll translate a brief into real options, negotiate for value, and stitch every moving part into a premium, error-free itinerary. This role is the operational muscle of the program - deep in the weeds with partners to ensure the guest experience is unforgettable and the plan stays on time and on budget.

What you'll do

Hotel & vendor sourcing & negotiation : Lead RFPs, compare concessions, and negotiate phone-forward to win better rates / terms.
Luxury with taste : Curate options that reflect luxury standards - even if you aren’t living in 5-star hotels, you know what “great” looks and feels like for our guests.
Itinerary-level planning : Partner with in-market vendors to shape day-by-day experiences and signature moments that photograph beautifully and leave a lasting impression.
Accuracy & speed : Reduce time-to-source and eliminate errors; keep briefs, RFPs, and decisions crisp.
Tool power-user : Work inside our ReadyGo platform (registration, itinerary, travel & rooming, exec packet) and suggest improvements as you go.
Governance first : Align with budget forecasts and approval gates; we don’t exceed the budget, and we plan to keep it that way.
Cross-functional glue : Sit between Sales / CEO, Events / HR, and Finance to translate needs into sourcing choices that land.

You might be a fit if you...

Are obsessed with learning - new destinations, new vendors, and new tools (you’ll live in our platform + common travel / RFP tools).

Have a design eye - your decks, itineraries, and options look clean and feel premium.

Love planning events - if building a flawless friends’ itinerary brings you joy, you’ll thrive here.

Enjoy negotiating on the phone - you don’t hide behind email when it’s time to land concessions.

Know luxury standards - amenities, room types, service levels, and what actually delights winners in a Presidents’ Club or SKO.

Can prioritize calmly in a fast, changing environment and keep promises.

Qualifications

2–5+ years in group travel / event sourcing, vendor or DMC management, or hotel sales / ops.

Portfolio or examples that show your aesthetic judgment (decks, one-pagers, itineraries).

Strong written / verbal communication; confident leading calls with hotels and DMCs.

Comfortable with modern tooling (RFPs, spreadsheets, CRMs, travel platforms; learning ours fast is key).
