There's no organization quite like the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation (TRMF). We're a premiere tourism operation-and we're a 501c(3) non-profit. We welcome hundreds of thousands of guests to an exciting, diverse lineup of entertainment, historical, and educational attractions-and we work tirelessly to connect people to Medora for positive life changing experiences.TRMF was established in 1986-but our story begins before that. In 1962, nationally-renowned businessman Harold Schafer took an interest in a historic old town named Medora. He loved its history, its striking location, and its potential to inspire others. So he began revitalizing the old town: he restored a historic hotel, brought the Medora Musical to town, and so much more. It was 1986 when the Schafer family, with Harold ready to retire from business, donated all they'd created in Medora to establish the non-profit Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.In the years since, we've grown from a staff of a handful of folks to more than 50 full-time employees, with hundreds more seasonal workers and over 650 volunteers. We've awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of scholarships to our staff. The Medora Musical has earned the attention of The New York Times. And we've earned a reputation as the #1 tourism and hospitality provider in North Dakota. We are a team of people who draw inspiration from Medora. We deeply respect this place, and the people we meet here. We deliver excellence in hospitality. We work with creativity and integrity. We're a family that values family.We are the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.Description:A Reservation Center Specialist will have the primary day-to-day responsibility to provide excellent customer service to guests calling to make reservations and to provide general information about Medora, the Medora Musical and Bully Pulpit Golf Course.Able to make reservations for motels, golf and a number of other TRMF attractions and eventsProvide excellent customer service while answering and returning telephone calls to assist guests with reservationsMust work quickly and efficiently on computers and with various software programsMaintain knowledge of hotel policies including room rates, discounts, special offerings and eventsBe able to speak and understand English at a native levelParticipates in workplace safety training sessionsProvides in person ticketing support at various venues as neededPerforms other related duties as assignedHave the opportunity to earn incentives throughout the summer based on weekly individual and department goalsWork EnvironmentThis job operates in a professional office environment.
