Travel. Coordination. Relationships. No two days the same.

Are you an experienced travel professional who loves the detail behind creating seamless travel experiences?

This is an opportunity to join a growing travel business in a varied, hands-on role where you'll be responsible for coordinating travel arrangements, managing bookings and building strong relationships with clients.

You'll be working across a diverse range of travel requirements, from individual bookings through to more complex group and international itineraries.

What you'll be doing

This is a varied role that combines travel coordination, customer service, relationship management and sales support.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Coordinating end-to-end domestic and international travel arrangements
• Managing flights, accommodation, insurance, transfers and other travel requirements
• Handling bookings and changes while ensuring every detail is carefully managed
• Building strong relationships with clients and providing a high level of personalised service
• Managing multiple bookings and priorities at the same time
• Working with suppliers and travel partners to coordinate seamless arrangements
• Supporting clients before, during and after their travel
• Identifying opportunities to enhance the customer experience and contribute to business growth
• Assisting with travel programmes and occasional domestic or international travel
• Working closely with a supportive team to ensure every trip runs smoothly

About You

You'll be an experienced travel professional who is organised, personable and confident managing the details behind complex travel arrangements.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• 2+ years' experience using Sabre GDS
• Previous experience within the travel industry
• Strong international travel knowledge
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills
• The ability to manage multiple bookings and deadlines without losing attention to detail
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A customer-first approach with a natural commercial mindset
• Confidence dealing with clients, suppliers and travel partners
• The ability to work independently while also being part of a close-knit team

Previous experience with group travel, international programmes or working with diverse customer groups would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer?

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a role that offers variety, responsibility and the chance to be involved in more than just booking travel.

• Base Salary $75K - $80K + Super
• Opportunities for domestic and international travel
• A varied role where no two days are the same
• The opportunity to work across different types of travel experiences
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
• The chance to build strong industry relationships and further develop your travel career

The Right Fit

You might be an experienced Travel Consultant, Reservations Consultant, Travel Coordinator or Travel Specialist looking for something a little different.

If you enjoy travel, are highly organised, love helping people and have the Sabre experience to confidently manage bookings from start to finish, we'd love to hear from you.
