We're looking for a Flights Support Lead to be the operational backbone of our flight support function, managing day-to-day support queues, proactively identifying and escalating issues, and ensuring our advisors have a seamless, high-quality experience. This role sits at the intersection of customer support, flight operations, and partner management. It's a great fit for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and has a passion for building great support experiences.
Key Responsibilities

  • Handle Escalations: Monitor and respond to advisor escalations, coordinating with the broader Flight Operations team to resolve complex advisor issues.
  • Ensure Ongoing Quality: Perform regular audits of the emergency phone line and flights inbox to evaluate support quality, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted trainings to address recurring gaps.
  • Maintain Data and Training Sources: Keep our internal information tooling up to date with new information, training updates, and live support resources so advisors always have accurate, real-time guidance.
  • Partner Communication: Proactively reach out to partners to flag support trends, recurring issues, or patterns that require attention.
  • Webinar Coordination: Set up and manage webinar logistics, including registration instructions and advisor-facing communications.
  • Fraud Management: Monitor for and respond to fraudulent activity, escalating appropriately and documenting cases for tracking and reporting.
  • Advisor Feedback Monitoring: Monitor the flight partners feedback page, flag negative feedback, and proactively reach out to affected advisors to resolve issues before they escalate.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of Sabre or GDS experience, including familiarity with Phase IV exchanges, ARC reconciliations, and NDC content.
  • 2+ years of experience in customer support, product operations, or a similar field
  • Proficiency in administering ticketing platforms (e.g., Intercom) and a proven track record of improving support operations (e.g., SLA, response time, CSAT)
  • Basic understanding of AI tools, particularly in customer support automation (e.g., chatbots, AI-driven FAQs)
  • Experience creating dashboards, tracking metrics, and forecasting using tools like Excel, Tableau, Omni, or similar BI/analytics tools
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Empathy for advisors and a personable, service-oriented approach
  • Unwavering attention to detail
  • Self-starter with a strong sense of initiative and ownership
