Reservations & Operations Coordinator

Full Time | Queenstown

LSQ is a leading provider of premium transfers and private touring throughout the South Island, delivering seamless travel experiences for luxury travellers from around the world.

Our clients include inbound tour operators, international travel advisors, luxury lodges, leading hotels and corporate organisations who trust us to operate as an extension of their service. Every day we deliver premium transfers, private touring, multi-day journeys and large-scale travel programmes with professionalism, attention to detail and genuine hospitality.

We're looking for a Res & Ops Coordinator to join our Queenstown team. You might be an experienced reservationist, an operations professional, or a talented all-rounder who thrives in a busy, fast-paced and people-focused environment. As a small, close-knit team, the most important thing is someone who is friendly, reliable, committed and has a positive attitude.

About the Role

This role is central to the delivery of every service we provide.

As one of the first points of contact for new guests and a trusted contact for our trade partners, you'll help create exceptional first impressions while maintaining the trusted relationships that are fundamental to LSQ's success.

You'll manage reservations from initial enquiry through to completion, ensuring every booking is accurately entered and every detail is clearly communicated within the Operations team and to Driver-Guides through accurate booking notes.

No two days are the same. One minute you might be answering enquiries, the next helping a driver, coordinating bookings, repositioning a vehicle or heading to the airport to welcome guests.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, thinks ahead and takes pride in getting the details right. You'll regularly prioritise multiple requests, solve problems as they arise and make informed decisions to ensure every guest journey runs seamlessly. Key Resp
