Account Manager, Group Sales EFGo Ahead Tours
About the Company At EF Go Ahead Tours we believe you’re never too old to be a student of the world. For 30 years we have guided individuals across the globe through carefully crafted group travel. Our travelers range from young professionals to retirees, solo travelers to entire families, and travel enthusiasts stepping off their first flight. We believe the best way to learn about the world is to experience it, and every day we come to work hoping to help as many people as possible share in those experiences.
The Role As an Account Manager, you’ll use your attention to detail, relationship‑building skills, and sales instincts to support Group Coordinators—helping them prepare for their trips and grow their programs by setting up future travel.

You’ll begin as a Support Account Manager, learning the role, policies, and product while assisting more tenured Account Managers. Once fully ramped up and a book of business becomes available, you’ll step into the full Account Manager role and take ownership of your own customer portfolio. This position participates in the Sales Development Leadership Program, a career‑accelerating path that includes training in sales, product development, marketing, industry trends, and public‑speaking opportunities.
