Responsibilities
JOB OVERVIEW
This role will support the ALTOUR travel operation out of hours by providing assistance to our customers whose travel has been disrupted, or who need to make urgent travel bookings. The role of the Senior Business Travel Consultant can be a pressured one due to the emotion of travel. When disruption occurs, it typically means considerable disruption for our clients and their families. Thus, the successful candidates will be calm, and have a sympathetic and reassuring approach to providing assistance at highly stressful times. You will therefore be self-motivated and able to work comfortably under pressure, providing travel solutions to clients outside of normal working hours. You’ll be fulfilling last minute/urgent travel bookings on behalf of the company’s Corporate, Media, Entertainment and Contractor clients so attention to detail and meticulous standards are key.
