We have a FULL-TIME position available in our OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT, for someone who is highly motivated, reliable and enthusiastic. You would be joining a dedicated team of passionate travellers.

- Proficiency with MS Office Suite (Word, Outlook, Excel) and comfortable in a web-based environment.
- Someone who has a keen interest in travel and has travelled independently.

Your Role:
- Ensure all bookings and reservations for our group travel arrangements are held with our suppliers. Careful attention to detail is needed.
- Communicate details with the Adventures Abroad team.
- Help maximize tour profits through contract negotiation and buying efficiently from suppliers.
