• 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?

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
