About Us

It’s an exciting time for Discovery parks. Since our inception in 2004 we have experienced extensive growth. We currently own and operate over 65 Holiday and workforce Parks throughout Australia and employ over 1100 people within these parks. Discovery Parks has recently acquired Australia’s largest network of parks – Top Parks.

The Top Parks transaction structure (being a 100% purchase of the brand) has ultimately accelerated Discovery Parks strategic goals to become the clear market leader in the industry. The acquisition of Top Parks has provided sufficient scale to establish the Licensed Parks Business. In addition to the acquisition of Top Parks, we have launched the G’Day Rewards loyalty program. The Loyalty business has set an ambitious growth plan.

Discovery’s strategy was developed with a significant investment in customer centric operations and technology. Discovery is looking to leverage the work across a larger footprint of parks through the introduction of Licensed parks.

The Role

The Trade Marketing Executive is responsible for the coordination and implementation of cooperative trade marketing campaigns and Discovery Holiday Parks’ participation in inbound trade events which drive visitation to our parks and accommodation properties across Australia. The role will work closely with travel trade and tourism industry partners to assist with the implementation and reporting of international and domestic trade marketing and promotional activities across multiple brands.

This role will require you to;

• manage and deliver multiple projects on time and within budget
• coordinate the development of packaging with key Distribution Partners
• work in collaboration with the team to develop the annual trade marketing business plan
• manage the trade marketing calendar and trade event calendar
• communicate trade marketing campaign information in a timely manner to internal stakeholders
• provide logistics, planning and coordination for participation in Inbound Trade Events, Roadshows and Trade Familiarisations

We are looking for someone who is able to establish and maintain effective relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.

Your Experience

To ensure your success in the role, you must possess a minimum of 5 years experience in the Tourism and Travel industry and a tertiary qualification in marketing or tourism is highly desirable. Additional qualifications in German, French or Chinese would be highly regarded.

You will have extensive understanding of budgeting and market forecasting, along with significant project management experience. Your Word skills are at an advanced level and Excel skills at an intermediate level.

No task will be too small or too big for you to tackle and your naturally upbeat and open style will fit our cultural values. You will have a highly organised mindset, attention to detail, comfortable to influence and negotiate with both internal and external stakeholders with the ability to function well within a rapidly paced business that is disrupting the accommodation sector.

If you are passionate, adventurous, and ready to hit the ground running, we want to hear from you.
