You will work directly with our Co‐Founders and founding Travel Manager to shape and elevate Aurora's member experience, ensuring high‐touch service across every aspect of our product, with a core focus on travel.

Responsibilities:

• Curate and execute exceptional lifestyle experiences & itineraries for members, with a strong focus on travel alongside dining, wellness, luxury goods, and events where necessary.

Qualifications:

• You are a highly conscientious person who thrives in a fast‐paced environment, capable of simultaneously managing and prioritizing multiple priorities across domains (e.g., travel, dining, wellness) without compromising on quality.
