About FlyFlat

FlyFlat helps founders, investors, and executives book international business and first-class flights at unbeatable rates—often 30–80% below retail. We combine proprietary booking methods with 24/7 white-glove concierge service to make premium travel seamless.

We've grown from 12 to 66 people in just over a year, backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, and have 5x'd our revenue year-over-year. We're currently at $22M+ ARR and growing fast. Our mission is to democratize premium travel and make first class accessible to those shaping the world.

Our clients—founders, investors, and executives from venture capital, family offices, private equity, and beyond—expect exceptional service delivered with speed, accuracy, and sophistication.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced luxury service leader who wants to build world-class operations and scale their impact in a fast-growing company.

You'll own shift-level operations across four core functions: Client Service, Ticketing, Trip Fulfillment, and Process Management. You'll lead Team Leads who manage specialists, ensure every client receives five-star treatment, and build systems that make excellence repeatable and scalable.

What You'll Do Lead and Develop Your Team

• Manage 3–4 Team Leads across all concierge functions.

• Provide daily coaching, feedback, and support to develop their judgment and leadership.

• Build a culture where ownership, precision, and empathy are balanced with speed and quality.

• Conduct regular reviews to support team member growth and performance.

Own Shift Operations

• Direct all client-facing operations during your shift with real-time decision-making.

• Allocate resources, manage escalations, and resolve complex issues with calm confidence.

• Ensure seamless handovers between shifts—nothing falls through the cracks.

• Maintain 95%+ SLA adherence and 98%+ data accuracy through effective systems and team management.

Deliver Exceptional Client Experiences

• Own the end-to-end client journey for your shift—every request, quote, booking, and follow-up.

• Personally handle VIP clients and high-complexity situations requiring senior judgment.

• Ensure clients receive timely updates, proactive solutions, and service exceeding expectations.

• Turn service recovery moments into opportunities that strengthen client relationships.

Drive Process Excellence

• Submit at least two documented process improvements per month that increase efficiency or quality.

• Spot patterns in client feedback, system inefficiencies, and team performance—and solve them systematically.

• Partner with Process Management and other teams to streamline workflows.

• Use data to make decisions, validate improvements, and track impact.

Collaborate Across FlyFlat

• Work closely with Product, Operations, and Leadership to implement new systems and scale consistency across shifts.

• Represent the voice of both clients and your team in strategic discussions.

• Contribute insights that shape how we grow globally while maintaining service quality.

What You Bring Must Have

• 4+ years in luxury travel, hospitality, or high-touch service operations (apply even if you don't have all the experience but are confident in your skillset).

• 2+ years in a leadership or management role—you've coached teams, not just managed tasks.

• Strong GDS proficiency (Sabre preferred)—comfortable with fare rules, complex routing, and ticketing.

• Data-driven approach—you use metrics to spot trends and improve performance.

• Excellent written and verbal communication—you can coach with clarity and write polished client messages.

• Calm under pressure—when everything hits at once, you're the steady presence.

Nice to Have

• Experience with international business/first-class bookings or award travel programs.

• Familiarity with tools like Asana, Periskope, Stripe, or similar workflow/CRM platforms.

• Track record of building or improving operational processes, SOPs, or training programs.

• Experience managing remote, global teams.

• Background in luxury hospitality brands (hotels, premium concierge services).

You don't need to check every box—if you have ~80% of the skills and the drive to learn, we want to hear from you.

What Makes You Stand Out

• You've turned around an underperforming team or operation (and can show the metrics).

• You're known as the manager people want to work for because you make them better.

• You have a reputation for spotting issues before they become problems.

• You think in systems but lead with empathy—process without people is just bureaucracy.

• You're comfortable being hands-on when needed while developing others to take ownership.
