Key Responsibilities:

Create multi-media content that enhances the region’s reputation and upholds our guiding stars for destination management
Manage all media relationships and develop media opportunities to promote regional awareness and reputation as a tourism destination
Develop strong relationships with local tourism operators and knowledge of tourism experiences in the region

Excellent written and verbal expertise – attention to detail is a must!
A strong team player who is also comfortable challenging the status quo
Ability to work autonomously, while delivering collaborative results
The ability to read the room and engage a range of stakeholders

If this sounds like you, please apply to info@thecoromandel.com by Friday 10th October 2023, with a CV and a cover letter that shows why you think you'd be a good fit.

Please note that to be successful in this role you must possess a full, clean NZ-qualified driver's license and NZ residency.

Destination Hauraki Coromandel – Trade and Media Specialist

As we navigate towards a future where tourism gives more than it takes for Hauraki Coromandel, we seek a B2B relationship lead to foster connections between our tourism businesses, the travel trade and travel media.

Ideally, you will already know our region well as you will provide information, knowledge and resources to support our tourism businesses and travel trade and media partners. The objective is to lift inclusions for Hauraki Coromandel in visitor itineraries and media stories, so travel trade and media contacts will be useful too.

You will likely have experience and qualifications in a similar tourism-related role, but if you have transferable skills and a positive outlook, please apply. We value collaboration as a team, and an aptitude in sustainable practices relating to tourism and some knowledge of Te Ao Māori would be welcome.
