Hi! I’m Maria Claudia, but you can call me Macla

I joined We
Travel 6 years ago as an Account Executive helping Peruvian tour operators grow. Since then, I’ve built teams across Latin America, helped scale Africa, and now I’m based in our Amsterdam HQ, leading expansion across EMEA.

We’ve seen strong traction in markets like the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and now we’re looking to expand in the rest of Europe. France, Belgium, and the Netherlands are our next bet, and that’s where you come in.

I’m building a new team to unlock this potential. We’re looking for someone who’s not afraid to build from scratch. This role is part Account Executive, part Business Developer. You’ll have best practices to lean on, but you’ll also be expected to figure things out, connect the dots, and help us shape the market.

If you love travel, know how to connect with entrepreneurs, and get energy from creating your own playbook, you’ll fit right in.

This is a remote job in the EU. You must have the right to work in the EU.

I care deeply about helping people succeed. If you show up with grit, curiosity, and our shared values, I’ll make sure you’re supported to grow and thrive.

This role can truly change your career. But it’s not for everyone. It takes initiative, creativity, and a willingness to build something meaningful.
