• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in English; proficiency in additional European languages (Italian, French, or Spanish) is an asset.
• Strong organizational skills, precise attention to data entry details, and adaptability to evolving reservation technologies and AI-assisted workflows.

Responsibilities

• Represent the full Belmond portfolio with confidence, describing each product accurately and converting enquiries into reservations with care and credibility.

• Within agreed guidelines, identify thoughtful opportunities to recognise and enhance the experience of loyal guests.
• Approach every reservation as an opportunity to enrich the stay by recommending relevant enhancements such as upgrades, transfers or curated experiences.
• Demonstrate strong working knowledge of HMS, Travel Studio, Salesforce Omnichannel and InfoHub, using technology to support efficiency and guest experience.

• Provide ongoing feedback on AI routing to support continuous improvement, accuracy and stronger case management.
• Lead by example so that Belmond’s vision, standards and values are consistently visible in daily work.
