What's the Role?

This is an on-the-ground sales role. As a GoBoat Sales Executive, you'll be our brand ambassador, actively promoting our unique boat experiences in the areas surrounding our docks. You'll engage with passers-by, local businesses, and communities, encouraging them to book a GoBoat trip - for fun days out, team socials, birthdays, or just spontaneous adventures.

You'll be armed with promotions, leaflets, and charm - and your goal is to

drive bookings

, raise brand awareness, and get the word out wherever our boats are nearby.

Key Responsibilities

Actively promote GoBoat to the public near our dockside locations (Kingston, Paddington, Canary Wharf). Engage with individuals, families, tourists, and local workers to explain the experience and generate bookings. Identify and approach local businesses, cafes, gyms, and community spots to form mutually beneficial partnerships. Distribute promotional materials and represent GoBoat at pop-up events or high-footfall spots. Track leads, gather feedback, and report on outreach performance.

Confident and outgoing

- You're not afraid to start a conversation with a stranger.

- You enjoy the thrill of persuasion and turning conversations into conversions.

- You keep going even when it's raining or quiet.

Organised and reliable

- You show up, follow through, and document your efforts clearly.

Desirable Skills & Experience
