Blue Water Sedans is a well-established, small business locally owned and operated out of Santa Cruz. Our work environment relies on a team atmosphere where everyone is determined to do their part to ensure our clients have the best experience possible. We are looking to grow and expand over the next year so therefore looking for positive enthusiasm from any additions to our group!

Your primary responsibility is to ensure high customer satisfaction from initial reservation to final payment. This will mean time spent communicating with our clients and chauffeurs over the phone, by text, and by email while working in our reservation system. Busy times can fluctuate throughout the day, week, and year depending on the number and types of reservations we get. Therefore, our ideal person would be one who can keep their poise under pressure and prioritize tasks when we’re busy. Then, when things slow down, work on getting ahead and preparing for when things pick up again.

There is potential for this role to evolve into one with more responsibility. We want to grow and utilize someone's skills and abilities beyond just what's listed in a job description, but we have to start with mastering the basics of the job!
