Core Responsibilities: End-to-End Global Booking: Coordinate, quote, and book complex multi-stop domestic and international flights, group travel, elite lodging, and private car services. Advanced Tools & Research: Leverage Concur Solutions and global booking networks to conduct rigorous carrier price comparisons, optimizing routes while strictly enforcing internal corporate travel policies. International Relocations: Spearhead full family international relocations (predominantly from Brazil to Miami), overseeing complex temporary housing logistics, visa procurement, and pet transportation accommodations. Visa Procurement: Manage the end-to-end travel visa pipeline, including preparing sensitive legal documentation, issuing processing checks, and liaising directly with visa expeditor services. 24/7 Traveler Consequence Management: Maintain immaculate, detailed travel itineraries and provide high-touch customer support for foreign and domestic after-hours travel emergencies. Vendor & Data Control: Diligently track corporate rewards points, manage relationships/contract reviews with external travel agencies, alert international offices of visiting dignitaries, and assist with month-end corporate card reconciliations. Skills & Requirements: Experience: 2+ years of high-volume business travel booking experience (experience working directly within a commercial travel agency, airline desk, or high-volume corporate travel department is highly preferred). Technical Sourcing Toolkit: Deep familiarity with corporate booking tools (Concur) is required.

Operational Stamina: Exceptional, acute attention to detail with the ability to multitask seamlessly in an extremely fast‑paced, high‑stakes environment. Availability: Must be flexible and reachable on weekends/after-hours to handle urgent global travel disruptions or emergencies.
