At Fresh Tracks Canada, we craft tailor-made Canadian vacations for people from all over the world. Since 1996, our team of Canadian Insiders have helped our customers plan their vacations and enjoy life-changing travel experiences.
We believe in keeping our customers front and center in everything we do; in fact, focus on serving our customers is one of our core values.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an experienced sales and travel professional who will be responsible for assisting many of our impacted customers in rebooking their trip, which they were not able to take due to the pandemic.

This is a one-year contract with potential to move to sales if the project concludes ahead of schedule.
