Job Descriptions

Product Marketing / Merchandising Intern

Travelocity Overview

Travelocity is the most popular travel service on the web. Teams of employees working in seven different U.S. offices work together to bring consumers the best in airline reservations, hotel rooms, cruises, vacation packages, car rentals, and last-minute deals.

Travelocity is the kind of place where employees work hard and learn much, but maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. We're looking for team members who take initiative and demonstrate resourcefulness, innovation, guts, urgency, and passion. Of course, we're also looking for people who believe, in the immortal words of Dr. Seuss, that "fun is good!"

Casual and Comfortable Workplace

We're serious about what we do, but that doesn't mean we don't have fun. Here at Travelocity, we work in a casual environment where we can wear jeans every day if we want to. Shorts in the summer?  Sure no problem, we're cool with that. So, if you have an affinity for denim and t-shirts, you could fit right in.

Experience and Travel

Since we're in the travel business, we encourage employees to go out and see the world. That's why Travelocity offers an above-average amount of time off to our team members and discounts on select travel offerings. We also offer the opportunity to earn travel discounts through IATAN after six months with the company.
