Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Travel Operations Specialists sit at the intersection of customer advocacy and operational expertise — the go-to resource for CS teams and travellers navigating complex, high-stakes situations.
• Own escalation management across air, hotel, fulfillment, and rapid response channels, ensuring every customer interaction upholds the trust and loyalty Hopper is built on.
• Deep travel knowledge, sharp judgment, and a genuine commitment to getting the right outcome for every user are required.
• Document and manage internal escalations, acting as the primary intake representative for incidents and drafting SOPs to prevent recurring disruptions.
• Monitor multiple queues simultaneously — from automation errors to same-day voids and cancellations — adjusting priorities in real time as conditions shift.
• Interpret travel advisories and coordinate workflows that process high volumes of schedule changes driven by disruptions or disasters.
• Communicate directly with airlines, hotel providers, HTS partners, and Hopper customers via phone, email, and chat to gather the information needed to resolve escalated concerns.
• Service complex bookings — including net fares, multi-ticket itineraries, and commission-based arrangements — often within the same PNR.
• Support Hopper-specific products like Cancel for Any Reason and Price Freeze, applying sound judgment to unconventional scenarios.
• Go beyond the playbook when needed — if a customer needs something you haven't handled before, you find a way.

🎯 Requirements

• At least 1 year of experience in a customer-facing or back-of-house airline or travel agency role.
• Hands-on proficiency with native Sabre as primary GDS, with working knowledge of Amadeus and Travelport (Apollo).
• Solid understanding of fares, airline contracts, ticketing rules and regulations, and NDC/portal-based products.
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills; French bilingualism (CEFR B2+) is a meaningful asset.
• Familiarity with ticketing procedures across air, hotel, and ground transportation.
• North American geography knowledge, with the ability to apply it to real booking and routing decisions.
• The composure and empathy to handle difficult customer conversations professionally under pressure.
• A learning mindset — you treat new challenges as opportunities and actively seek to grow your expertise.

🏖️ Benefits

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary.
• Hopper covers 100% of the cost for employees, and up to two dependents, for employer-sponsored health insurances.
• Hopper covers 100% of premiums for supplemental accident and life liability insurances, to provide benefits for you and your loved ones from day one.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Hopper provides a monthly allowance to assist with costs of internet utility.
• Hopper provides the 13th month salary for PHL employees in the month of December.
• Carrot Cash travel stipend.
• Hopper will apply the De Minimis benefit for dependent medical, rice subsidy, uniform/clothing, medical assistance and laundry allowances.
• Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
• Open communication with management and company leadership.
• Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
