About the Role
Our client is seeking an experienced After Hours Coordinator to provide high-level support to guests travelling throughout Australia outside of standard business hours.
The After Hours Coordinator will serve as a key point of contact for travelling guests, providing prompt, professional, and reassuring assistance when support is required.

This is a highly guest-focused position suited to someone with strong experience in luxury tourism or travel operations, excellent judgement, and the confidence to manage urgent situations independently.
The successful candidate will be expected to take ownership of guest matters from initial contact through to resolution, while maintaining clear communication, accurate documentation, and seamless handovers to the daytime team.
Key Responsibilities

Deliver a high-touch level of service and proactively look for opportunities to go above and beyond for guests.
Maintain a professional and personable approach across all guest interactions.
Travel Operations & Issue Resolution
Manage after-hours requests including itinerary amendments, booking changes, operational assistance, and emergency situations.
Coordinate changes to travel arrangements as required, liaising with accommodation providers, transport operators, tour operators, guides, and other tourism suppliers.
Proactively manage and resolve travel disruptions that arise outside standard office hours.
Assess situations independently and determine appropriate solutions while working within established procedures and client requirements.
Follow matters through to resolution, ensuring guests receive appropriate support and clear communication throughout.
Escalate complex, sensitive, or unresolved matters to the relevant Travel Advisor or management when required.
Communication & Coordination
Maintain clear, timely, and accurate communication with guests, Travel Advisors, suppliers, and relevant team members.
Ensure all relevant parties are kept informed of itinerary changes, actions taken, associated costs, and outstanding requirements.
Liaise with local tourism suppliers outside standard business hours when necessary to implement changes or resolve guest issues.
Provide clear and comprehensive handovers to the daytime travel operations team.
Participate in operational briefings, debriefings, and handovers during mutually agreed standard Australian business hours.
Systems & Administration
Accurately document all guest interactions, requests, actions taken, and follow-up requirements within the CRM.
Update booking and itinerary systems to accurately reflect changes made during after-hours support.
Maintain detailed and accurate records to ensure continuity of service between the after-hours and daytime teams.
Coordinate payment collection for additional guest services where required, or liaise with the relevant Travel Advisor to facilitate payment processing.
Ensure all guest matters and outstanding actions are appropriately recorded and handed over.
About You
The successful candidate will have:
5+ years of experience in the luxury tourism, travel, or high-end guest services industry.
Strong experience supporting travellers and managing travel-related requests, changes, or disruptions.
Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.
Exceptional customer service and relationship management skills.
