Corporate Travel Agent - Sabre or Amadeus - Wayne NJ

Job Description

Job Description

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Health insurance
• Opportunity for advancement
• Paid time off

This is an agent seat, not a sales seat

We book and service corporate travel. You will be on a GDS most of the day, building and reissuing itineraries for business travellers, and you will be the person a client calls when a flight cancels at 7pm and they need to be in Chicago by morning. If you are looking for a role that is mostly prospecting and quota, this is not it.

What you will actually do

• Build domestic and international business itineraries across air, hotel, car, rail and ground
• Quote, price and optimise fares, including negotiated and corporate fares
• Issue, exchange, reissue and refund tickets, and keep PNRs clean
• Handle disruption. Cancellations, misconnects, schedule changes and the rebooking that follows
• Apply each client travel policy correctly, and know when to flag an exception rather than absorb it
• Hold relationships with airline, hotel and ground vendors

What we need you to bring

• Hands-on GDS experience. Sabre, Amadeus, Apollo, Galileo or Worldspan. This is the requirement, not a preference. Tell us which one and how long.
• Experience booking for business travellers rather than leisure. Corporate, government, university or agency-side all count.
• Comfort with ticketing mechanics. Exchanges, reissues, voids and residual value.
• Composure on the phone with a traveller who is already stranded and already annoyed.
• Accuracy under time pressure. A wrong record locator costs real money.

What we do not need

A sales background. A degree in anything specific. Experience with our particular back office, which we will teach you. If you have spent three years as a corporate agent on Sabre and never sold anything in your life, you are exactly who we are looking for.

Details

• 40,000 to 55,000 per year depending on experience
• Full time, hybrid out of our Wayne, New Jersey office
• Reports into our operations group
