Marketing Director for boutique travels to Antractica

Santiago, Chile �
� Hybrid / other countries Remotely with availability to travel �
� Full-time To apply: https://forms.gle/MV6LkmHjCTfzpHGj9 Antarctica21 is the world's leading Antarctic air-cruise operator. Founded in 2003, we pioneered a model that replaces the unpredictable Drake Passage crossing with a two-hour direct flight from Punta Arenas to the White Continent — over 300 expeditions completed to date. Operating at boutique scale per expedition — we deliver one of the most exclusive travel experiences on Earth. Our fleet is entering a new era with the 2026 debut of the Magellan Discoverer, South America's first hybrid-electric polar vessel, alongside our Explorers House private club in Punta Arenas. As our direct channel targets a strategic revenue increase by 2028-29, we are looking for the commercial marketing leader who will architect that growth. The Mandate This is not a pure brand role, and it is not a single-channel role either. You own the revenue target for our direct channel and are measured on it. At the same time, marketing at Antarctica21 is a shared function: it serves our B2B partner network, our corporate affairs agenda and our sustainability narrative alongside direct demand generation. The balance matters. Our agency network represents a fundamental pillar of our business, and the same traveller often reaches us through both routes. Growing the direct channel without eroding partner trust is the core judgement this role requires. Growth here is also measured against longevity. We do not optimize quarter by quarter at the expense of brand equity, partner trust, or the environmental stewardship that underpins our licence to operate in Antarctica. What You Will Lead Global demand generation targeting HNWI and UHNWI travellers: paid media, SEO, SEM, email marketing, and GEO positioning across AI-powered search platforms — a white-space priority for us. Direct revenue accountability for the B2C channel, from funnel conversion through lifetime value, referrals and ambassador programmes. Our HubSpot ecosystem and evolving marketing technology stack, including the strategic input into an ongoing booking platform migration. Our brand narrative, including the sustainability and responsible-tourism credentials that increasingly define choice in our segment, and the marketing our B2B partners and corporate affairs team rely on. Two managers and their teams — a Marketing Manager and a B2C Sales Manager, with content, marketing and travel consultant colleagues across Asia, Europe and the Americas, with a genuine mandate to develop them, not simply manage them. Management and strategic allocation of the consolidated annual marketing and direct sales budget. What We Are Looking For 5–8 years in performance marketing, growth or demand generation with direct revenue accountability. Purely creative or brand-only profiles are not a fit for this mandate. Proven experience in luxury travel, premium hospitality, high-end lifestyle brands, or industries where the customer is HNWI or UHNWI. Genuine autonomy, commercial orientation and hands-on execution capacity. We value the mindset and the willingness to build more than depth in any single platform. Comfort serving several internal stakeholders at once without losing the revenue thread. A collaborative leader by conviction. Our culture is horizontal and built on trust — we protect the ecosystem that sustains everyone, and we hire accordingly. Fluent English and Spanish.

What We Offer
Direct accountability for Antarctica21's most strategic commercial mandate. Competitive compensation package featuring an attractive performance-based annual bonus. The benefit no other Chilean company can offer: a familiarization expedition to Antarctica. You will live the experience you are charged with selling to the world. A multinational team built on trust, autonomy and horizontal leadership. Location Santiago, Chile. This search is conducted exclusively through Partner Up.
