The role will be both on site for 4 days and also remote (work from home).

Background :

This is a job that covers the ins and outs of the back-end booking process but NOT selling travel. Although the Founder is often out touring properties and meeting with suppliers, this role is for the person that the Founder and Operations Manager can count on to be on the computer and phone, making sure that the existing trip flows are running smoothly with the team.

Potential travel perks are available after 6+ months (heavily discounted hotel stays, etc.)

Additional details :

Please note that the salary will vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, education, previous performance, etc.

Although benefits are not in place at this time, it’s likely they are implemented in the future as we continue to grow.
