Golf Travel Customer Service Executive

Your Golf Travel is the world's largest golf travel specialist providing golf breaks and holidays across more than 3,000 locations in 22 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Europe, and beyond. Since our launch in 2004, we have seen swift expansion and now boast a team of over 180 professionals based in our offices in London, Brighton, St Andrews, and Killarney. Throughout this journey, we have established incredible relationships with our suppliers and customers, created an extensive array of exceptional travel products and experiences, garnered numerous awards... and this is only the beginning!

At Your Golf Travel, we are driven by our "Always Going The Extra Yard" values, a set of four core principles that define how we work and who we are:

• Customer First, Always: We use empathy and deep insight to consistently exceed expectations.
• Own it, Together: We combine personal accountability with high-pace collaboration to deliver results.
• Think Smart, Act Bold: We challenge convention with an ambitious, entrepreneurial spirit.
• The Expert Edge: We constantly evolve, learn, and push boundaries to ensure we are always going that extra yard for our clients.

Do I need to be a golfer? Not at all. We primarily operate as a travel company, with golf being just one aspect of our offerings. If you’re eager to learn, we’d be thrilled to equip you with all the knowledge you need about our product; however, we can’t promise you’ll become the next Tiger Woods. What we truly seek is a genuine passion for travel and an eagerness to learn.

The primary responsibility of the role is to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction by successfully resolving all pre-travel customer queries, proactively embodying our 'Customer First, Always' core value. This involves managing all pre-departure modifications, cancellations, and booking operations, as well as communicating proactively with customers and suppliers across various channels (telephone, email, chat, reviews) while maintaining our standards and ensuring customers are kept up to date. You might also be involved in supporting our customers via social media, reviews, and complaints to ensure we capture all feedback and proactively manage any queries we receive.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Customer Query Management: Handle and resolve all inbound customer and supplier queries efficiently via phone, email, and other channels, providing accurate information regarding existing bookings, amendments, and company policies.
• Booking Administration & Amendments: Accurately manage a high volume of existing bookings, including processing modifications, changes, upgrades to client itineraries, and escalating complex issues when required.
• Documentation & Fulfilment: Ensure the accurate and timely provision of client documentation via automation, manage the fulfilment and delivery of promotional items, and liaise with suppliers to secure written confirmation for all bookings.
• Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Collaborate with internal departments (Sales, Product, Finance) to resolve customer concerns and liaise with the Aviation team to communicate any schedule changes or flight cancellations to clients in line with company and industry guidelines.
• Compliance & Service Standards: Ensure all customer requests are completed in accordance with processes and in line with our internal policy on response rates.
• Customer Support: Act as a key contact for the customer in case of any challenges with bookings, including travel or course disruption, schedule changes, post-travel complaints, and any other area that might need support.

What We’re Looking For:

• Great customer service skills
• Proven ability to proactively manage workloads and work to deadlines
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Good understanding of either Google or Microsoft platforms and general good level of IT skills
• Travel and/or golf experience is beneficial.
