Director of Sales – Orchestra Music Academy (Part - Time)

Remote United States

High-Commission Leadership Opportunity

CAST Tours / Da Silva International Group of Companies is seeking an entrepreneurial, highly motivated, and results-oriented Director of Sales to help launch and grow a new for-profit Orchestra Music Academy unlike anything currently available in North America.

This is a remote, commission-based leadership opportunity with one of the most aggressive commission structures in the industry for the right candidate.

This is not a traditional music school position.

We are looking for a proven sales leader who can help build the Academy from the ground up by recruiting students, developing strategic partnerships, building referral channels, and promoting extraordinary performance opportunities with internationally recognized recording artists, professional symphony orchestras, and major film concert productions at some of the world's most iconic destinations.

The successful candidate will be responsible for driving student enrollment, building national sales pipelines, developing relationships with schools and youth orchestras, and creating long-term growth for the Academy throughout North America.

About the Academy

The Academy's mission is to bridge the gap between traditional music education and real-world professional performance opportunities.

The Academy is being developed in conjunction with CAST Tours' expanding international concert division, which produces destination concerts, orchestra tours, Christian music tours, and symphony film concerts throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

Rather than focusing primarily on classroom instruction, students will receive practical performance training through professional concert experiences.

Students may have opportunities to participate in performances in Greece, Italy, France, China, throughout the United States, and other international destinations as the Academy expands.

Students may have opportunities to participate in performances associated with:
