Jobs

TrovaTrip (you can call us Trova) is a company that’s changing the way people travel and connect with their communities. We bring the ease of modern tech together with curated, expert-designed travel itineraries to power Creators and community leaders who want to bring their online audience offline, by hosting group trips around the globe.

It’s been an exciting couple of years for Trova — we’ve worked with Creators to book 1,500 trips and more than 21,000 Travelers. We raised a $15M Series A, were named to the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list, and have more than 100 employees. We’re a tech startup that is navigating hypergrowth, and we’re looking for an expert in Creator relations, referral programs, partnerships, and affiliate marketing to help us turn our happy customers into — well, even more happy customers.

Our Marketing team is looking for a creative, customer-first Affiliate & Partnerships Marketer. This is a new role, and will pave the way for how TrovaTrips creates and maintains referral-based growth. You’ll be laser-focused on our primary customer — our Hosts. These are the Creators who use the Trova platform to plan, launch, book, and travel with their communities. These Creators are deeply proud of the audiences they’ve built, and are looking to create connections with their online communities, offline. Given Creators so often turn to one another for recommendations, resources, and ways to monetize and grow their business, we want to make sure our Hosts are being rewarded and recognized for helping others learn about hosting a TrovaTrip.

Sound like something you’re ready to tackle? We’d love to hear from you.
