KVI Travel | Downtown Vancouver, in office 1 to 2 days per week, remote the rest | Full time | Reports to the
Director of Business Development THE SHORT VERSION
KVI Travel is a 27-year-old Canadian agency doing $60M a year through 150 independent advisors, with a head office of six and a serious growth plan. The strategy is already written. We need the builder who ships it.
You will work directly with the Director of Business Development every day: she sets direction and creates content, you turn it into pages, funnels, automations, AI workflows, and dashboards. Huge surface area, zero bureaucracy, and your work goes live the week you build it.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Someone early in their career, hungry, scrappy, and fast. You would rather build the thing today than sit in a meeting about it. You use AI tools all day without being told to, you Google or prompt your way past any problem, and you want a seat next to the decision maker instead of a desk on floor 14 of a big company.
WHAT YOU WILL BUILD AND RUN
- AI-native agency: help make KVI an AI-first operation. Build AI workflows, agents, and automations into how the whole office works, from lead handling to content ops to reporting.
- SEO and AIO: make kvi.travel and kviagents.com rank in Google and show up in AI search (ChatGPT,
Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). Landing pages, per-cruise-line content pages, clean structure and tracking on everything.
- Automation: the lead pipeline connecting web forms, ManyChat, email, Google Sheets, and Notion via
Zapier, with routing rules so every lead reaches a live advisor within hours.
- Email: run and grow the newsletter (Constant Contact,
about 15,000 contacts; you will help evaluate a platform switch), plus manage and triage the Director's inbox and outreach so nothing important sits unanswered. Segmentation, CASL-compliant consent, deliverability.
- Notion hub: set up and run the company hub from scratch: business dashboards, lead pipelines, and a weekly roll-up scoreboard that gives ownership one place to see the whole business.
- Social systems: scheduling, cross-posting, and analytics across Instagram, Facebook (including a large
Group), TikTok, and YouTube, plus ManyChat flows. You run the systems; content is created elsewhere.
- Paid media ops: Meta Ads Manager setup, pixels, audiences, budgets, and reporting. Strategy set jointly.
- Day-to-day IT: be the office's first call for basic tech troubleshooting: accounts, devices, tools, and access.
Small team, so everyone wears this hat sometimes; you wear it best.
- Measurement: UTM discipline, a source on every lead, and a monthly cost-per-lead view leadership actually trusts.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Real things you built yourself: a site, a funnel, an automation, a dashboard. Years of experience matter less than proof of shipping.
- Fluency with a no-code / low-code stack: Zapier or Make, a modern CMS, form and landing-page tools,
email platforms.
- Working HTML and CSS, enough to fix a page without a developer.
- Meta Business Suite and Ads Manager competence; Google Analytics and UTM literacy.
- Notion at a builder level: databases, relations, views, rollups.
- Daily, unembarrassed use of AI tools. We are an AI-forward office and expect output that reflects it.
- Nice to have: ManyChat, Beehiiv or a platform migration, SEO and AI-search fundamentals, basic Canva and short-form video handling, travel or airline exposure, CASL familiarity.
