Destination Consultant, PT, Freelance - Columbia Area - Hybrid Remote

Going-there Global Destination Services, a relocation company based in London with a fast growing network of operations in more than 100 cities around the world, is looking for a Destination Consultant in Columbia, SC. We offer a service you might wish you had received, when you relocated there.

This is a part-time role, project-based (occasional work), working with assignees for 1-5 day packages (the days do NOT run concurrently). You must have a car and be able to drive in the city and have been living there for more than one year.

The ability to cover the greater Columbia region is mandatory, including locations like Sumter and Blythewood. Preference will be given to candidates who could occasionally travel to cover other parts of SC as well.

This is a partially remote role, with some of the work being done from a home office (or anywhere with an internet connection), and some work being done in person with the client around the Columbia area. Clients arrive in small groups.

Desired Skills & Expertise: ** Being a Destination Consultant: You will help newly arriving expats and their families settle in to their new lives in the city. You will assist with topics such as pre-arrival assistance, home-finding and school searching. Helping them get connected in to the city with the least possible disruption. Making an often anxious assignee and their family feel at home. Putting a friendly face on a foreign place. To make an excellent Destination Consultant, you need a good knowledge of the Sumter area and some knowledge of the local rental market. Previous work in the relocation industry is preferable.

This role is best described as occasional project work. It is a good fit for someone who likes that sort of work style, but is not a good fit for someone who needs consistent work hours.

It is not a fit for candidates looking for full-time work, or who are currently working full-time.

The ideal candidate will have the following qualities: be on-time regardless of traffic or other barriers, able to formulate a concise plan regardless of limited info provided, and have a direct approach in communication style.

A professional demeanor is an important part of the role, as our consultants often work with executives who are relocating to Columbia.

We like to work with people who are personable, responsible, savvy, with good people and communication skills. Excellent English skills, both oral and written, is essential.

Some international exposure (such as international travel, study abroad experience, etc.) is preferred, with a strong preference to candidates who have lived abroad and relocated across international borders. Please include any international experience in your resume or cover letter.
