Hey Future Team Member!

We're a small, passionate team committed to helping people see the world while developing new friendships and a greater cultural understanding. We live for unique experiences, life-changing moments, serendipitous interactions, and the memories made along the way. We’re big on teamwork and supporting one another. We love what we do, and we work hard to make it all happen.

 

About your role:

You’ll be joining a small team within a company in its early stages that will have a lasting impact on the way people explore the world and connect with one another. Day to day, your role is to ensure that travelers feel supported and heard throughout their customer journey through various means of communication - email, text, and phone calls. Beyond this, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the strategy and continued improvement of the customer experience at FTLO Travel and our sister-brand, Sojrn. 

 

About you:

You are naturally empathetic, positive, solution-oriented, and coolheaded. You have excellent verbal and written communication, interpersonal, and customer service skills that you’ve ideally put to work for brands that cater to the millennial market. You have an exceptional talent for reassuring people when they’re nervous and finding solutions that make everyone happy.

While you are a people person at your core, you are also comfortable with systems, and ideally know your way around Hubspot or similar CRMs. You love implementing improvements to systems that provide better customer service while reducing back and forth. You thrive in a fast-paced work environment and love collaborating with your team but are self-sufficient in getting your work done. You have a minimum of five years’ experience in Customer Experience with at least two of those as a manager. 

 

Important notes:

Experience in the travel or hospitality industry is preferred and experience in solo travel or living abroad is a plus. Experience working in start-ups is particularly valuable. Love for travel is essential.

 

This position is fully remote, but requires a primary place of residence in either EST or CST timezone. Occasional weekend work and international travel required.
