If you identify yourself as someone who truly cares about providing exemplary service, loves to travel and enjoys sharing your knowledge and experience with others, then we want you as our next Travel Service Partner (CSR).

As an integral part of the Team, you will be placed at the heart of a bustling airport environment where thousands of customers are embarking on business or personal trips. Whether they’re on an “early bird” flight or “taking a red eye,” we want to ensure that we are there to support our customers by being adaptable to their requirements and delivering on our promise to fulfill their travel money needs!

What will you be doing?

• Nurturing and forming relationships with customers to gain a better understanding of their travel and currency requirements then tailoring their experience based on their destination.
• Establishing yourself as a travel money ambassador and their trusted advisor, providing support and advice on great Travelex products and services.

What do I need to have?

• Numerically proficient - You’ll need to have a firm grasp of numbers as you’ll be handling large amounts of cash and converting vast amounts of currency regularly.
• Great communicator – You’ll find talking with people and building relationships comes naturally to you. You’ll not only be a great talker, but a good listener who is understanding of people and their needs.
• Desire to succeed – You’ll have the drive and vision to want to make a difference, to enjoy what you do, care about the impact you have and the way you make people feel.

What does the interview process look like?

1. Step 1 – Our team of Talent Acquisition Partners or Bureau Managers will review your application and get in touch with you if they think your experience fits the brief and conduct an initial screening call.
2. Step 2 – You’ll then be invited to an online interview with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners. Here we’ll give you more insight into Travelex and the role whilst finding out a bit more about you. Given you’d be working with vast amounts of money on a regular basis, there will also be a small numerical and accuracy test that you’ll need to complete.
3. Step 3 – If successful, you will then be invited to visit the bureau where you will meet with the Bureau Manager face-to-face and have the opportunity to see what the working environment looks like. The Bureau Manager will be able to tell you more about the day-to-day responsibilities and answer any remaining questions you have.
4. Step 4 – If the bureau visit goes well, we’ll reach out and offer the opportunity to join Travelex as our newest employee. If you’re unsuccessful, we’ll still reach out to you to provide detailed feedback. We owe you that much as a candidate who has dedicated your time to meet with us.
