👋 About Kolet

Kolet is building the world’s first truly global travel connectivity brand.

  • Maintain strong relationships by addressing issues promptly and ensuring partner satisfaction.
  • Identify opportunities to expand customer touch points (upsell) and maximise engagement.

Performance Monitoring & Best Practices

  • Track partner performance on a weekly and monthly basis.
  • Analyze results and share actionable insights.
  • Recommend best practices drawn from learnings with other partners to improve adoption and outcomes.

Experience

  • 3-4 years of experience in account management, client success, or similar roles
