Travel Coordinator

Position Description

Are you passionate about creating seamless travel experiences that support education, discovery, and global impact? Join our dynamic team as a Travel Coordinator, where every itinerary you craft helps students, faculty, and staff pursue knowledge, build partnerships, and represent our institution around the world. This is more than booking flights; it's about enabling life-changing journeys with precision, care, and purpose. You'll be the expert behind the scenes, coordinating complex travel logistics with efficiency and heart. Whether it's arranging conference travel or supporting field research, your work will ensure that every traveler feels prepared, safe, and supported-no matter how far they go. Interesting Challenges & Projects; No two days are alike. Coordinators help travelers with trip planning, airfare, lodging, and expense reporting, while also troubleshooting challenges like unused ticket credits or travel disruptions during high-demand periods (for example, limited flights or car rentals). These projects require creativity, proactive problem-solving, and clear communication with both travelers and vendors.
