About the Role

Payments & Refunds Specialists are responsible for delivering AmTrav’s highest standard of service, ensuring travelers’ critical issues are resolved efficiently and with care.

• Proficient with Windows-based applications and comfortable working on a computer for extended periods.

• A positive, professional, and customer-focused attitude when interacting with both travelers and colleagues.
