(we don’t book flights) • Supplier packages — help build signature tours, golf schools and tournament itineraries with resorts and courses (paid separately, per project) • Admin — track payments, manage changes, keep client data organized via Travefy, Airwallex and Google Drive • Conversion — turn enquiries into paid bookings, tournament slots and golf school packages Skills Required • Experience with Expedia TAAP and Travefy (or closely related platforms) — essential • 3+ years in retail travel consulting, corporate travel, or high-level travel admin • Genuine passion for golf, sports, and luxury/wellness travel — you should understand this traveller • Experience dealing with high-net-worth entrepreneurs and C-suite executives — our clients expect a polished, premium experience and you must be comfortable with their standards and expectations • Fluent spoken and written English • Flawless attention to detail — no room for errors on names, dates, or pricing Nice-to-Have Skills • Copywriting • Social media management • Graphic design • Ads management These skills will lead to other work opportunities Compensation Flat fee per qualified quote + flat fee per completed booking, plus a commission on any upsell above baseline. Supplier package work is a separate flat project fee. To Apply Please include a short Loom (or similar) video introducing yourself so we can see and hear you directly, along with answers to the two questions below. Generic or templated responses will be declined automatically. 1. Attention-to-detail check Note: DO NOT use AI searches as they often get this wrong. Please manually verify: what are the full names of the two sisters who founded the Australian juice brand Nectar Cold Pressed? Nicknames, partial or wrong names = automatic rejection. 2. Speed and availability What are your general working hours (AEST), and what's your typical turnaround for a first quote once a lead comes in?
