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. The role involves managing guest requests, travel changes, service disruptions, and urgent situations while coordinating closely with Travel Advisors, suppliers, and the wider travel operations team.

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.

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.

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.

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.
