At Tauck, the journey begins well before departure. Our Reservations Sales Counselors are often the first people guests and travel advisors speak with, setting the tone for a thoughtful, personal experience from the start.
This is a sales and service role in a high-volume contact center where no two conversations are quite the same. You’ll handle inquiries, make reservations, answer questions about our journeys, and assist with upcoming travel by phone, email, and chat. The role calls for someone who can move comfortably between detailed travel information and genuine, engaging conversation while staying focused on both the guest experience and sales results.
We’re looking for people who love travel, enjoy connecting with others, and take pride in representing Tauck with warmth, professionalism, and care. You’ll be part of a supportive team that shares knowledge, embraces new tools, and helps make each guest’s experience feel personal.
Part-time positions are 25 hours per week; Full-time positions are 37.5 hours per week.
Schedules include nights and Saturdays.
