Please note before applying. This role requires a personal, active network of HNW/UHNW clients in the Gulf who already buy luxury travel — villas, estates, yachts, private aviation. Applications without such a network will not pass screening, however strong the rest of the background.The Sun Secret Collection is a Dubai-based luxury travel house, established in 2018: a hand-curated portfolio of villas, chalets and private estates across the Côte d’Azur, Italy, the Alps and the Emirates, with every stay orchestrated end-to-end — from the first conversation to the last transfer.

At shortlist stage, you are ready to evidence high-value deals you personally originated and closed: approximate values and your role, with no confidential client data.7+ years in luxury travel, ultra-luxury hospitality, private aviation or a comparable world, including 3+ years in a senior commercial role.Fluent Arabic and English; equally credible with a Gulf principal and a European estate owner.Based in Dubai or elsewhere in the GCC (Dubai preferred); full-time, with no competing mandate in luxury travel.What we offer:A reward structure designed for someone who brings their own market: a substantial part of the income is driven by personal sales results — and is uncapped. This model suits those who are confident in their network.An established house to build on: eight years in the market, a recognised brand, a senior back office and a supplier network around the world.Founder-level autonomy with a team behind you — your market, your clients, your P&L.Financial terms are discussed separately and individually with shortlisted candidates.To apply, please answer the screening questions and attach your CV together with a short cover letter: tell us in a few paragraphs why this role speaks to you and how your experience and your network match what we describe above.
