About Christopherson Business Travel
Christopherson Business Travel is a leading travel management company delivering innovative corporate travel solutions, exceptional client service, and technology-driven insights. We partner with organizations to optimize travel programs, enhance traveler experiences, and drive measurable savings.
Position Summary
The Part-Time Travel Advisor supports our corporate clients during our busiest months by booking, changing, and servicing business travel with accuracy and care. During our peak season, generally late August through May, this role follows a predictable weekday daytime schedule aligned with the school day. Because our business is seasonal, hours during summer and holiday periods may be reduced or paused based on business needs. No prior travel industry experience is required; we provide training, and it is a great fit for detail-oriented people who enjoy helping others and want skilled, meaningful work on a schedule that leaves room for life outside of work.

Follow quality control, data privacy, and payment card handling procedures on all transactions.
Team Collaboration
