Vendor & Partner Collaboration

• Liaise with hotel and transportation vendors to secure suitable accommodations that meet contractual and compliance standards.
• Source alternative hotels in markets where contracted partners are unavailable or sold out.
• Obtain and document airline (AA) approvals when only non-compliant options are available, ensuring proper record-keeping in ConneX.
• Process payments to vendors in accordance with established system settings and agreements.

Operational Support & Communication

• Work collaboratively with scheduling teams, internal departments, and management to meet operational goals and resolve issues affecting passengers.
• Communicate clearly and professionally to expedite issue resolution.
• Support IT, Billing, and Collections departments with data gathering, folio collection, payment processing, and issue troubleshooting.
• Maintain accurate transaction records and report on booking and resolution activities as required.

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong organizational and multitasking abilities.
• Proficiency with PC-based tools; familiarity with the ConneX system is an advantage.
• Reliable high-speed internet connection (minimum 100 Mbps) and a quiet home workspace.
• Ability to work shifts, including extended hours during irregular operations.
