Job Overview

We are looking for a driven sales executive to continue our expansion into the cruise market in the USA.

OmniAccess already has a strong foothold in the US cruise market — and we're looking for the person who's going to take it further. You'll step into an established role with active deals in motion, a leadership team that opens doors, and the backing of a proven GTM.

If you know the cruise industry, speak its language, and have relationships at the lines — large or small — this is the opportunity to own the US market and put your name on it.

Your Mission

Based in Miami (or Fort Lauderdale), you'll lead OmniAccess's cruise business development efforts across the United States, covering the full spectrum from major cruise corporations to boutique and expedition operators.

You'll inherit a warm book of business with a deal already in motion, work alongside leadership who have deep industry relationships and will get you in the room, and have the autonomy to grow the market the way you see it.

Deals in this space range from $500K to multi-million dollar managed services contracts. Cycles run 6 to 12 months. The expectation is that you know how to work a long-game deal and close it. You’ll be supported by our COO who is based in Miami and from the Cruise industry and can assist you in getting up to speed and help in the sales process.

As the US presence grows, so does your role. There is a clear path to leading a team.

Key Responsibilities

Own the pipeline

• Identify, qualify, and develop new cruise accounts across the US market, large lines and boutique operators alike.
• Take over and advance an existing pipeline.
• Drive the full sales cycle from first conversation to signed contract.
• Keep CRM airtight, every conversation, every opportunity, every stage.

Build the relationships

• Leverage your industry network and develop new relationships at the Director, VP and C-level within cruise lines.
• Represent OmniAccess at industry events, trade shows, and expert panels (Seatrade, Cruise360, etc.).
• Partner with our Solutions Architecture and Sales Engineering teams to craft proposals that actually win.

Drive the strategy

• Feed market intelligence back to the team, what are customers asking for, what are competitors doing, where's the next opportunity?
• Contribute to the US go-to-market strategy and help shape how OmniAccess positions itself in the cruise segment.
• Report regularly to leadership on pipeline status, opportunities, and market dynamics.

If you've been waiting for a role where you can actually build something — not just execute someone else's playbook — we'd like to talk.

Apply with your resume and a note on your cruise industry background. We move fast.
