Freedom Treks - Feefo Platinum Service Award 2026
Does poor service annoy you?
You know when you’ve been waiting for ages on the phone to speak to a 'customer service adviser' and when you finally get through, what you receive couldn't possibly be described as customer service? Does that grate? Do you think the world really shouldn’t be like that?
Well, so do we, you're in the right place!
We are absolutely passionate about providing first-class customer service and if you are too, we’d love to hear from you. If you also happen to like skiing or snowboarding, or spending time in the fresh air outdoors, then we’d definitely like to hear from you!
Who are Ski Safari?
We are an award-winning, independent ski holiday company and we’ve become that by being totally focused on helping our customers have the absolute best ski or snowboarding holiday possible... for the past 30 years.
What do we do?
We put together superb ski holidays to some of the most interesting and perhaps slightly more unusual (for UK skiers anyway) places to ski around the world - Canada and the US, Norway and Sweden, and Japan.
And we like to add a little something extra too, so that our holidays are more than ‘just’ a ski holiday. You can see some examples by looking at our amazing ski safaris.
Where do we do this?
From our light and airy, modern warehouse offices just a stone’s throw from the beach in central Hove on the Sussex coast - if you step out of the front door and look right, you can see the sea!
It’s the ideal location for cycling to work, a swim at lunchtime or enjoying some fresh air with a walk along the seafront. There are also some fantastic pubs, cafes and restaurants just up the road, so it’s a great place for a good work-life balance.
But what about you?
We are looking for people who want to provide our customers with real customer service.
It’s easy to do this if you like talking to people, are confident on the phone and have a positive, upbeat attitude.
You might have some knowledge or experience of the ski industry, but that isn’t essential. Experience working in a customer service environment is. Even if that has been a holiday job or a temporary position, it all counts! Some core computer skills and being well-organised with a good eye for detail are also important.
But really, it’s about you being the right kind of person, someone who can get stuck in and quickly become a valued member of the team and make a contribution.
That mention of the team is key - we're a small, friendly gang at Ski Safari, and we definitely work as a team.
We're a Brighton & Hove Living Wage Employer
We are committed to paying our employees a real Living Wage as part of the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign. Different to the government's national minimum wage, the real Living Wage is calculated each year based on the actual cost of living. Find out more about the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign.

Key skills & attributes
- You must be a keen skier or snowboarder!

Reporting to: Head of Marketing & Growth
Employment type: Full-time, office-based
Are you an experienced in-house marketer who loves skiing or snowboarding? If you’re obsessed with the 'why' as much as the 'how’, and you’re happy working in a hands-on role rather than managing agencies, we want to hear from you!

Technical skills & experience:
- A minimum of 7 years’ experience in an in-house marketing role, ideally with at least 2 years working in travel
- A thorough and up-to-date understanding of marketing strategy - you know the ‘why’, not just the what, how, where and when (and when you don’t, you make it your mission to find out)

- Content marketing
- Email marketing
- Social media marketing
- Paid search
- Paid social
- Display, video and programmatic

Personal skills & experience:

- Strategic-minded and results-driven, understanding how to meet business goals
- A creative flair with the ability to turn great ideas into successful campaigns
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines
- You’re a lifelong learner - you attend conferences and webinars, read marketing books and blogs, listen to podcasts, and take an active interest in the latest developments in marketing
