TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Are you passionate about tourism in its various aspects, whether in your relationship with operators and tour guides, or with the end customer? Are you always aware of what is happening in the national and international market? Do you love working in a team and establishing partnerships? Are you dynamic, curious and strategic thinking? Then this vacancy is for you!About Us:
Livraria Lello is the most iconic Portuguese bookshop and one of the most iconic in the world. Open since January 13, 1906, on Rua das Carmelitas, in Porto, the history of Livraria Lello is above all one of boldness. In recent years, with the arrival of the Pedro Pinto family, Livraria Lello has lived a second life. Firstly, with the launch of the innovative book discount voucher, which revolutionized the business and made it possible to invest in the recovery of the building, in the launch of a collection of literary classics and in a dynamic and free cultural programme. We grew in book sales and the number of visitors, and we also grew in national and international media exposure and in partnerships with major global brands. We are not an ordinary bookstore. In addition to purchasing, finance and store management departments, we have a marketing and communication department and even a creative director. We place the Book at the center of all our action, but perpetuating an attitude of absolute boldness, we start from it for a much broader intervention, in the entire cultural area. In 2019, we acquired a Theatre, Sá da Bandeira and, in the building adjacent to the Livraria, a new cultural space will be born in the coming years, designed by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. We never stop dreaming and aiming for more. We are bold and work in equal measure. We are proud of what we do and, like Pessoa, we are concerned about charting new paths. Aware of what we are, our DNA, and what we dream of being, we establish commitments with our Community and with the World.
It is for this dreamy, restless and dynamic team that we are looking for one more element, a specialist in tourism, who will contribute to our main missions: to get the whole world to read and value the book as an object of art, culture and investment.
