Job Description - Business Travel Consultant III (experienced) (2500001L)

Do you love to help people, like to solve problems, and enjoy working in a dynamic environment? If the answer is “yes”, we should talk.

Many of the world’s best known and biggest companies and governments around the globe rely on CWT to keep their people connected – anywhere, anytime, anyhow – by providing an efficient, safe and secure business travel experience.

Be at the heart of our business.

As a travel counselor, you will provide outstanding customer service to corporate travelers before, during and after their business trips. Through our winning combination of outstanding people and innovative technology, we’re focused on ensuring that the travel experience of our customers is unforgettable from start to finish, for all the right reasons.

And as part of the Traveler Experience organization, you’ll be at the forefront of providing that exceptional experience. Beyond making bookings, you’ll play a key role in delivering a safe and enjoyable journey to our clients’ traveling employees.

Join our Follow The Sun team, providing support 7 days a week, including all holidays. The team operates from 8 AM to 7 PM Central Time.

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

1. Create and complete travel arrangements (air, hotel, car, rail)
2. Ensure reservations are built according to client standards and preferences
3. Act as a trusted advisor by offering informed and insightful recommendations that provide the best traveler experience
4. Handle a wide range of bookings from simple ones to complex bookings with potentially non-standard and multi-destinations, ticket exchanges, and complex fares
5. Make changes or solve any issues that might occur during or before the travel
6. Assignments include both routine and non-routine work
7. Benefit from comprehensive training by experienced colleagues and use our social intranet to always stay up-to-date

Sound exciting? Welcome to a culture of caring.

Joining CWT means becoming part of a collaborative, close-knit, global community. Our “people first” ethos starts with our colleagues. As a member of the CWT team, you’ll see that our core value of caring runs deep. It goes beyond the confines of our company too; our commitment to corporate social responsibility is deeply rooted in what we do and who we are.

Because we care so much for our travelers we also care for our colleagues by fostering a high-performance and high-quality environment, fully supported by our leaders helping you succeed.

We actively look for people who bring a positive attitude to work with them and that’s reflected in the atmosphere in our offices, remote teams, and contact centers, and the dynamic between colleagues. Our people want to be here — which explains the long careers of so many of our colleagues.

Speaking of longevity, CWT has been in the travel industry for 150 years (and counting). We’re proud of our history and even more excited about where we’re going next: the corporate travel industry is bouncing back strongly after the pandemic, promising to be bigger, more exciting, and more innovative than ever before.
