About the Role

We are seeking an outstanding Executive / VIP Business Travel Consultant to deliver an elite, seven-star service experience to senior leaders, executives, and high-value corporate clients.

- GDS experience (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo or similar)

- Strong understanding of contact centre performance metrics, including productivity, efficiency, and CSAT

- Exceptional communication skills with a polished, confident, and discreet style

- Ability to remain calm, decisive, and solutions-focused in high-pressure situations

- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

Desirable:

- Experience supporting senior stakeholders, C-suite, or high-net-worth individuals

- High emotional intelligence and sound judgement

- Comfortable working autonomously and taking full ownership
