Job Details

Are you an experience OOH Business Travel Consultant? Are you fully trained in Sabre GDS?

We have an exciting opportunity for an (fully homeworking) Out of Hours Business Travel Consultant to join a reputable Travel Management Company.

The Job:

  • Answering calls and emails from clients in a polite, efficient, and professional manner

You will therefore be self-motivated and able to work comfortably under pressure, providing travel solutions to clients outside of normal working hours.
