About The Role
Every booking an advisor makes depends on systems most of them never see: supplier connections, rates, booking data, and the processes that catch problems before they reach a client. On Booking Operations, you’ll keep those systems reliable, working issues from the first escalation to the fix that stops them recurring, and helping shape how a growing team operates as Fora scales. This is a hands-on role on a small team that builds. You’ll ship tools, automations and processes that replace manual work and make bookings more reliable, using frontier AI tooling every day. You’ll report to the Product Operations Manager, Booking Platform, and partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Support. Decisions happen quickly, the work has visibility with leadership, and you’ll see its impact in what advisors experience. The team is still growing, so the person who sets the standard early has room to grow with it.
