Desk associate

Employment typeRemote or with the Makkah desk — for this website

A desk associate in Makkah, Saudi Arabia works for this website. You receive booking requests, check names, dates, and the hotel, and help the house return a written quote. A request on the site is not a payment. The role is remote or with the Makkah desk. A message is an expression of interest, not a hire. Umrah and city stays must be written with care: hotel names, walking distances, and days a family can trust — not a generic holy-city postcard.

Do you feel…

• Inspired to write interesting, grammatical, and accurate descriptions of stays — names, days, and inclusions a family can trust
• Motivated to build hotel and partner conversations that result in an honest quote for the traveller, while the hotel sees a clear request
• Capable of researching a stay to determine its true value and concisely say why the house would recommend it on the website
• Keen on sifting through many hotels to keep only the ones we would accept, and to push those forward to the Makkah desk
• Excited to check availability, update an ongoing stay when the facts change, and present your best stay for approval
• Ready to work closely with the Makkah desk to open new hotel conversations and grow the ones we already have
• Able to watch how a published stay is used and recommend a written change so the website stays honest

You are ideally…

• Degree educated, preferably in journalism, advertising, communications, marketing, or hospitality — or able to show the same care in your work
• A rising professional with at least two years of relevant work, including writing, digital media, hotels, or a local travel desk
• A high performer with a strong work ethic and sound judgement
• An excellent communicator with clear writing, speech, and the ability to present a stay to the desk
• Fluent in Arabic and English; living in the country is a strong advantage
• Someone with a proven passion for travel, including experience booking your own stays
• Empathetic, hands-on, and precise — willing to say when a hotel should not be published

What’s in it for you…

• You work remotely, from the country of the role, with one travel house in Makkah, on named hotels and clear days for this website
• You may be asked to visit a stay you wrote; that visit is arranged and confirmed in writing, not assumed, and we do not publish a yearly travel budget or a club perk on this page
• Recognition comes from the desk in writing. There is no public awards programme and no membership club
• The house is small. You write to the desk. There is no corporate ladder page
• You learn by researching real destinations, hotels, and days — not by a published training catalogue
• If we proceed, pay and working days are confirmed in writing. We do not post a salary here

If you are excited about this role and feel intrigued by our values of leading by example, warm heart, cool head, and working hands, write to us. We would like to read how you work.

A WhatsApp message is an expression of interest. It is not an application on a hiring platform and not a promise of work. If we continue, days and pay are confirmed in writing.
