• Maintain strong organization across contracts, offers, routing, and tour-related materials
• Prioritize competing requests with speed and accuracy, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
• Act as a reliable point of contact for clients, promoters, managers, and internal teams
• Anticipate needs, problem-solve quickly, and help keep tours moving efficiently
What We’re Looking For
• At least 1 year of Agency experience (required)
• Accounting experience (preferred)
• Proven ability to handle a heavy-volume desk with professionalism and composure
• Exceptional organizational, scheduling, and prioritization skills
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through
