About the Company

Job Description

Required Skills

Key Responsibilities

• Handle email inquiries as the core of the role, triage the inbox, prioritize, and resolve member tickets with clear, accurate, friendly replies.
• Support members across channels, email, live chat, and occasional phone, on bookings, cancellations, modifications, membership, and billing questions.
• Guide members through the platform and resolve issues at first contact wherever possible.
• Verify identity and handle account details securely, following member verification and data-handling procedures.
• Coordinate with operations and suppliers to resolve at-property or booking issues, and escalate the right cases at the right time.
• Keep canned responses and help content sharp so common questions get fast, consistent answers.
• Spot patterns in recurring issues and flag them to the operations team so we fix root causes, not just tickets.

Qualifications

• Travel industry experience (required). You have worked in travel or hospitality before, whether at an OTA, travel agency, airline, hotel, or booking platform, and you understand how bookings, cancellations, and itineraries actually work.
• Excellent written and spoken English, clear, warm, and professional. Members judge us by how well you communicate, so this matters as much as the travel knowledge above.
• 1–2+ years in customer or member support, ideally email-based or in a ticketing environment.
• Strong writing instincts, able to explain something complex simply and resolve it in one well-crafted reply.
• Calm and empathetic under pressure, with a genuine solutions-first mindset.
• Organized and detail-oriented, comfortable managing a busy ticket queue without dropping threads.
• Tech-comfortable, quick to learn helpdesk, CRM, and booking tools.
• A reliable internet connection and a quiet, professional remote workspace.

Benefits & Perks

• Salary: USD 200–500 per month, depending on experience.
• Shift: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). You must be available to work US business hours regardless of your home time zone.
• Engagement type: Remote, full-time, freelance basis (monthly invoice).
• Training period: First 2-4 weeks may run on a daytime schedule overlapping with the operations team before transitioning to the standard EST shift.
• Remote-first with a flexible, results-driven culture.
• Real impact, you are the human members rely on when it matters most.
• Room to grow into senior support or operations as the company scales.
• A direct line to the operations team, your insights shape how we improve.
