ABOUT THE ROLE:

Journey Weaver

Imagine a world where travel isn't just about going from one place to another but about unlocking the magic of the unknown. At Raise Away, we exist to create moments that linger in memory. We're not just planning trips; we're crafting spells that whisk Charity Trip Winners away to experiences beyond their imagination. But, not beyond yours. As a Journey Weaver, you're the keeper of this magic, the architect of luxury, and the guide who ensures our travelers are well taken care of, every step of the way. 

Your focus is not just destinations, but the hearts of those you guide. Armed with empathy and a white-glove touch, you'll tailor each adventure with personal details—birthdays, wine tastes, family nuances, among others. This role is about crafting not just trips, but about turning each vacation into a handcrafted journey of delight and individual exploration.

🛩️ Master of Memorable Journeys: Live into your passion for seamless coordination. As the main pillar between dreams and reality, you'll carry out each journey to perfection, liaising with vendors and sprinkling bespoke touches tailored to each Charity Trip Winner. Your role? To ensure the execution is as flawless as the planning, wrapping every trip in a bow of personalized care and professional excellence.

🧳 Travel Guardian: From the first spark of anticipation to the afterglow of return, you'll be the constant companion for our Charity Trip Winners, guiding them through every phase of their journey. As a guide from pre-planning, to on-the-spot adjustments mid-trip, through to post-trip feedback, you ensure they enjoy a seamless and positive experience at every step. 

🪄 Solution Architect: You're adept at identifying challenges, crafting effective solutions, and sharing these insights with the team. Your role enhances every trip into a memorable adventure and contributes to the continuous improvement and evolution of our service.
