Job Overview
We are seeking an experienced Customer Support and Travel Concierge Specialist to join our fully remote, 24/7 global support team. This is a dynamic, dual-purpose role that requires a unique blend of everyday customer service excellence and technical travel expertise.
During your first 3 to 6 months, you will focus on general Customer Support—mastering the Travala platform, understanding our crypto-payment ecosystem, and assisting our diverse global customer base with daily travel inquiries. Once you have built a strong foundation, you will act as a critical point of contact for our VIP and corporate clients—manually constructing complex airfares, proactively managing end-to-end travel disruptions, and delivering authentic, highly personalized support when standard travel procedures aren't enough.
What This Role Is NOT
Not a scripted support role
