Job Detail
Minimum Qualifications
Customer advocacy is at the heart of Hopper. As a globally distributed team of travel and hospitality enthusiasts and experts, we believe that every interaction before, during and after booking travel with Hopper should earn our travellers' trust and loyalty.
As an agent providing service to Hopper’s Flights customers, you have a passion for the air travel industry, are a natural problem solver who loves to tackle complex air ticketing issues and are a strong written communicator. Hopper's goal is to become the most customer-centric travel company in the industry, and a big part of that is providing the absolute best service to our customers. We are looking for people who love helping others, are persistent, empathetic, kind and curious.
Responsibilities
Today, Hopper is best known as a travel app. We're going to do about $1B in sales this year and weathered the COVID storm better than anyone expected. We just raised $170M from Goldman Sachs and Capital One, and inked a deal to be the exclusive travel provider for Capital One Travel.
We owe our success, in large part, to a proprietary suite of data-driven and risk-based financial services that we have developed that complement a customer's trip-purchasing experience. One example is Price Freeze, where our customers are able to purchase a financial option in the app to lock in any price that they see, on any item, for as short as 1 hour or as long as 21 days with Hopper taking the risk on the other side of the trade.
Now we're laying the groundwork for continued expansion in 2021 by adding great people to our team who can help us compete with the travel giants.
- Live and have legal authorization to work in Cebu
- A minimum of 3 years in a user-facing or back of house airline industry or travel agency role, and in-depth experience with multiple GDSes (Sabre/Galileo/Amadeus)
- Exceptional written communication skills in English; bilingualism (ES/FR) is a bonus
- Excellent computer skills, a willingness and an eagerness to excel at technical systems
- A high level of understanding, patience and empathy to navigate difficult customer conversations with professionalism under pressure
- Previous remote work experience and a stellar remote work set-up, including a quiet space, stable internet connection, and a back-up location
- Ability to work full-time hours on a schedule that includes evenings, weekends and holidays
