Love travel? Love the mountains? Join our ski team

VIP SKI was established in 1989 in the living room of our Managing Director, Andy Sturt (well, his parent’s living room to be honest !). Since then, Andy and the rest of our team have been on a relentless journey to continuously enhance the quality of our holidays. We are relentlessly ambitious and always looking for like-minded individuals to join our happy and inspiring community.

The team is made up of 22 full time professionals and 170 (ish) dedicated seasonal staff looking after over 7,500 guests each winter.

Our Sales, Marketing, HR and Finance teams are predominantly in the UK, whilst our Operations Team are based mainly in France.
