About the job

Knecht Reisen is the largest Swiss tour operator with an extensive tour operating and branch network. For over 60 years, we have been fulfilling holiday dreams with expertise, competence, and a focus on service as well as the highest quality.

What you will achieve with us

Holidays don’t start at the airport. They start with you – at the consultation table, when a vague "somewhere by the sea" suddenly becomes a well-thought-out plan. You listen, ask questions, think along – and in the end, you don’t just sell a trip, but the certainty that everything fits perfectly. You bring your customer base, of course. But those who stay, stay because of you.

Want more responsibility? As deputy branch manager, you have the shop under control even when the boss herself is somewhere between the gate and the baggage claim.

Sounds like your next career step? What are you waiting for – book yourself the job.
