Travel Operations Specialist

About the Role

the company's Travel Operations Specialists sit at the intersection of customer advocacy and operational expertise — the go-to resource for CS teams and travellers navigating complex, high-stakes situations. In this role, you'll own escalation management across air, hotel, fulfillment, and rapid response channels, ensuring every customer interaction upholds the trust and loyalty the company is built on. It's a role that demands deep travel knowledge, sharp judgment, and a genuine commitment to getting the right outcome for every user.

What

would your day-to-day look like
  • Document and manage internal escalations, acting as the primary intake representative for incidents and drafting SOPs to prevent recurring disruptions
  • Monitor multiple queues simultaneously — from automation errors to same-day voids and cancellations — adjusting priorities in real time as conditions shift
  • Interpret travel advisories and coordinate workflows that process high volumes of schedule changes driven by disruptions or disasters
  • Communicate directly with airlines, hotel providers, HTS partners, and the company customers via phone, email, and chat to gather the information needed to resolve escalated concerns
  • Service complex bookings — including net fares, multi-ticket itineraries, and commission-based arrangements — often within the same PNR
  • Support the company-specific products like Cancel for Any Reason and Price Freeze, applying sound judgment to unconventional scenarios
  • Go beyond the playbook when needed — if a customer needs something you haven't handled before, you find a way
An ideal candidate has
  • At least 3 years of experience in a customer-facing or back-of-house airline or travel agency role
  • Hands‑on proficiency with native Sabre as primary GDS, with working knowledge of Amadeus and Travelport (Apollo)
  • Solid understanding of fares, airline contracts, ticketing rules and regulations, and NDC/portal‑based products
  • Strong written and spoken English communication skills;
    French bilingualism (CEFR B2+) is a meaningful asset
  • Familiarity with ticketing procedures across air, hotel, and ground transportation
  • North American geography knowledge, with the ability to apply it to real booking and routing decisions
  • The composure and empathy to handle difficult customer conversations professionally under pressure
  • A learning mindset — you treat new challenges as opportunities and actively seek to grow your expertise
  • Preferred: 3+ years at a leisure or corporate travel agency, with experience in complex exchanges, refunds, and both domestic and international reservations
Perks and benefits of working with us:
  • Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary.
  • the company covers 100% of the cost for employees, and up to two dependents, for employer sponsored health insurances.
  • the company covers 100% of premiums for supplemental accident and life liability insurances, to provide benefits for you and your loved ones from day one.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • the company provides a monthly allowance to assist with costs of internet utility.
  • the company provides the 13th month salary for PHL employees in the month of December.
  • Carrot Cash travel stipend.
  • the company will apply the De Minimis benefit for dependent medical, rice subsidy, uniform/clothing, medical assistance and laundry allowances.
  • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
  • Open communication with management and company leadership.
  • Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
