Job Introduction
About Us
New Scientist is the world’s most popular weekly science and technology publication. Our website, app and print editions cover international news from a scientific standpoint, and ask the big-picture questions about life, the universe and what it means to be human. If someone in the world has a good idea, you will read about it in New Scientist.
Discovery Tours is the travel arm of New Scientist. Amazing science-inspired tours, cruises and short breaks across the globe. With experts on board, small group sizes, and in the company of fellow travellers who enjoy the discovery of science.
We are approaching our fifth year of operation and growing quickly. We have a start-up mentality but exist within a mature business, so we benefit from the best of both approaches. We act with a lot of autonomy, yet we have the backing of a credible and established business.
The Role
Primarily the role is focused on marketing and managing our product. The day-to-day focus is on supporting relationships with our tour operation partners, marketing to our core audience and supporting the operational delivery of our tours. The longer-term focus is on bringing new tours to market, developing new markets, establishing new partnerships and large-scale tour experiences. We are a small team therefore team roles are constantly evolving and we all get stuck in.
Main Responsibilities
The day-to-day activity includes the following:
Marketing
Tour production
Administration
In addition to managing the day-to-day activity. there will also be the opportunity to develop and build tours, specifically:
The role will be working directly with the Director and Senior Product Manager of Discovery Tours and liaising with the New Scientist central Marketing, Commercial and Financial teams.
As we are a small team, we need to be able to support each other in all tasks relating to Discovery Tours, so there will be the opportunity to be involved in other aspects of the business. It’s ‘all hands on deck’.
Person Specification
This is an unusual role as there aren’t many travel companies within media publishing organisations.
This is a really satisfying role for the enquiring mind of an entrepreneurial individual.
