At Hillwalk Tours, we create authentic and memorable hiking holidays in Ireland, the UK, Spain and Portugal. Our mission is simple: to create experiences that make people happy – and we believe happy experiences start with happy people.
As we prepare for our 2027 season, we’re hiring three Customer Experience Specialists with a passion for helping others to join our friendly, customer-focused team. Fluency in Italian or Spanish is highly advantageous, though not essential. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our customers have smooth, memorable trips — from booking through to walking the trails.
One application covers all three roles — there’s no need to apply more than once. Just tell us in your cover letter which contract length(s) suit you, your language capabilities and we’ll take it from there.
This role is home-based, Monday-Friday, 37.5 hrs per week. A dedicated home office space and strong broadband connection are required.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Responding to customer emails and calls in a friendly, efficient way
- Booking accommodation and transfers
- Updating customer documentation with care and accuracy
- Using our in-house software to manage bookings
- Collaborating with your team to solve issues quickly
- Attending occasional training or meetings in Galway
What We’re Looking For:
- Fluent in English (spoken and written)
- Fluency in Italian or Spanish is highly advantageous – please tell us about your language skills in your application
- Excellent communication and writing skills
- Strong attention to detail and organisation
- Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new systems
- A team player with a can-do, positive attitude
- Able to work remotely in a quiet, dedicated space with strong broadband
- Within 1 hour of Galway (for occasional office days)
Why Join Us?
We’re passionate about travel, the outdoors, and creating happy experiences — not just for our customers, but for the people who make it all happen. That means:
- Remote-friendly roles with flexibility and trust
- Supportive leadership that listens and encourages growth
- A purpose-driven mission you can feel proud of
- Real impact — your work helps people explore the world in a deeper way
- A culture of quality — we care about the details and celebrate doing things well
If you’re someone who cares deeply, communicates clearly, and wants to help others enjoy life’s simple adventures, you’ll thrive here.
