Payments & Refunds Specialists are responsible for delivering AmTrav’s highest standard of service, ensuring travelers’ critical issues are resolved efficiently and with care.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong ability to listen, empathize, and build rapport.

Proficient with Windows‑based applications and comfortable working on a computer for extended periods. A positive, professional, and customer‑focused attitude when interacting with both travelers and colleagues. Demonstrated ability to meet performance goals and maintain a strong, reliable work history. Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
