Description

OUR POSITION IN A NUTSHELL
Our Corporate Housing team is expanding rapidly as the industry bounces back with enthusiasm.

The department is formed of two teams who work closely together:
Reservations and Guest Services.

This position is within the Reservations specialty and focuses on providing client service to help our clients decide on their choice of corporate temporary accommodation.

You may be wondering exactly what "corporate housing / corporate temporary accommodation" means The Reservations specialty involves acting as liaison for the client by processing requests for short-term housing options for their employees (e.g. serviced apartments), sourcing viable housing options and sharing these with the client, and confirming the final choice of housing by the guest.

You will work with our unique sourcing platform and will communicate with our extensive supply chain of providers to cover the EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) region.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss the position in more detail before applying. We are a somewhat niche industry and many people are not familiar with our services.
