Hamilton Exteriors is a general contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area. We build ADUs, custom homes, and roofs. We import a lot of our finish materials directly from China: tile, stone, cabinets, doors, windows, fixtures, and lighting. We need one person who owns both the design side and the sourcing side of that pipeline.
This is a remote role for someone based in Asia: Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, or nearby. We pay for all travel. Flights from Asia keep that affordable, so we are not hiring from Mexico or South America for this role. You need to be able to fly to China every 2 to 3 months and stay for one to two weeks each trip. Our vendors are mostly in Foshan and Guangdong. You will work with our office in California, so you need some overlap with Pacific Time.
What you will do
Design
* Meet with our homeowners over video and help them design their interiors and exteriors.
* Build 3D renderings and design boards so customers can see the finished home before we build it.
* Help customers pick finishes: flooring, tile, stone, cabinets, countertops, doors, windows, fixtures, paint, lighting, siding, roofing colors.
* Coordinate dimensions with our architect and site teams. Measurements get checked twice before anything is ordered.
* Keep design files, selection sheets, and spec sheets organized per job.
Procurement and quality control
* Source finish materials from vendors in China. Get quotes, compare, and negotiate.
* Order materials and track lead times so they arrive before the crew needs them.
* Fly to China every 2 to 3 months. On each trip you inspect what we bought before it ships: count it, measure it, check color and finish against the samples, and reject what is wrong.
* Watch the container get loaded and confirm the packing list matches.
* Build relationships with vendors and factories. Visit showrooms and factories. Attend the Canton Fair in Guangzhou in spring and fall.
* Coordinate shipping and customs paperwork with our freight forwarder.
What we need from you
* Based in Asia.
* 3+ years in interior design, architecture, or a related field.
* Strong 3D rendering skills. SketchUp, 3ds Max, Blender, Enscape, D5, Lumion, or similar. Send us your portfolio.
* Experience sourcing building materials or furniture from China, or a very strong reason we should bet on you learning it fast.
* Able to measure and inspect physical goods carefully. This part of the job is detail work in a warehouse, not a desk job.
* Fluent English, written and spoken. You will talk directly with American homeowners.
* Mandarin or Cantonese is a strong plus.
* A passport and the ability to get a Chinese visa and travel every 2 to 3 months.
* Comfortable working on US Pacific Time for at least part of your day.
How we work
* Small team. You report directly to the owner.
* Travel costs are covered by the company.
* Remote the rest of the time. We care about the work getting done right, not where you sit.
How to apply
Apply with your resume and a link to your portfolio or 3D renderings. Tell us in two or three sentences about any experience you have buying from or traveling to China.
Pay: $1,500.00 - $2,000.00 per month

Tips for Your Remote Travel Specialist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote travel specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly. Remote postings often fill faster than on-site ones, so acting quickly on a good match matters.
Show your GDS and booking platform fluency
Remote travel specialist employers screen resumes for specific platform names. List every global distribution system and travel management tool you have used, including Sabre, Amadeus, Concur, or Egencia, so hiring managers can confirm your fit without a follow-up call.
Prove you work well asynchronously
Remote travel teams rely on written handoffs, shared itinerary docs, and async communication tools. Use your cover letter to describe how you have coordinated complex travel changes or vendor escalations entirely through written channels, which is what remote employers actually need to see.
Highlight your vendor negotiation experience
Remote travel specialists often manage airline, hotel, and ground transport relationships without an on-site team to back them up. Calling out specific vendor contracts you have managed, rate negotiations you have handled, or cost savings you have delivered gives remote employers concrete evidence of your independent judgment.
Remote Travel Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote travel specialist job?
Target companies with distributed teams and no central office, since those are the employers most likely to hire travel specialists remotely. Remote employers screen for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency with online booking platforms, travel management software, and expense systems. Candidates who can demonstrate async problem-solving and a history of managing itineraries independently stand out from the applicant pool.
Which companies hire remote travel specialists?
Remote travel specialist roles are posted by ASRC Federal, TP, and Tesla and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first travel management companies, corporate travel programs at distributed tech firms, and hospitality or consulting organizations that coordinate employee or client travel across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote travel specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot itineraries and vendor issues independently from day one. Your best path in is through companies that hire for travel coordination or customer support roles that include travel booking duties. Showing proficiency with GDS tools like Sabre or Amadeus, even through self-study or coursework, opens more doors than a general application alone.
Do you need a degree for remote travel specialist jobs?
Not always. Remote employers weigh demonstrated booking experience, GDS platform proficiency, and a history of managing complex itineraries more heavily than a formal degree for this role. Certifications from recognized travel industry programs can substitute for a degree in many cases, and a portfolio of past travel programs or corporate accounts you have managed carries significant weight in a remote hiring process.
