* Deep knowledge of the Moroccan destination and an established local network of suppliers and partners
* Strong contracting and production experience (hotels, transport, guides, etc.)
* Track record in product development and high-end / tailor-made travel
* Experience working with European or international source markets
* Entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable building something from the ground up, hands-on and business-driven
* Fluent in French and English (Arabic is a strong plus)
* Based in Morocco (Casablanca or Marrakech) or willing to relocate
What we offer
* The opportunity to launch and own a new market for an established DMC
* Full ownership and autonomy over the Morocco operation
* Direct collaboration with company leadership
* A competitive package aligned with your seniority and experience
