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.

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.
