Travel Consultant

Local Foreigner is a boutique consultancy specializing in high-end curated travel. From the bespoke to the basic, we guide our clients on everything from a weekend in Paris to an expedition to Patagonia. Our mission is to deliver the most personalized travel experience through caring service and a seamless planning process. The Local Foreigner brand represents a warm, worldly sophistication with curator's keen attention detail, and we believe it is crucial for everyone behind the brand to represent these qualities.

Our Travel Consultants are client-facing and have a minimum 2 years experience preferably in high-end travel planning. They have traveled extensively throughout the world and procured a breadth of knowledge in luxury hotels and service providers. Travel Consultants also have an intrinsic care for people and are empathetic to even the most discerning client needs; they are hard working (often having to work after hours during seasonal periods as well as when client travel issues arise), well-organized, extremely detail-oriented, resourceful, and can excel in a fast-paced forward-thinking environment. They provide mentorship and training to Local Foreigner's Travel Coordinators and Associates.

This candidate shares our passion and belief that travel is a source of inspiration, renewal and joy. Local Foreigner is a growing small business whose greatest assets are its people and its technology. We maintain a laser-focused growth strategy with a systematic goal-setting process which the entire team participates in by supporting all areas of the business as needed. We seek a dynamic candidate with excellent growth potential who finds fulfillment in building a business and evolves with our company over the long-term. This is a unique opportunity to join a small, tight-knit team of travel professionals in a supportive, but challenging work environment.
