Product Support Specialist

We are making travel effortless. Join us.

Whether it’s to visit the people closest to us, starting an exciting adventure, or a career-defining business trip, travel is an essential part of our lives. Yet we've all experienced the aches and pains of getting to our destination. Today, more than 4 billion airline passengers rely on technology that hasn't kept up with the expectations of the modern connected traveller.

That’s why we’ve started to rebuild the infrastructure that underpins the travel industry. We’re on a mission to unravel travel — simplifying systems and building the tools that will make the future of travel effortless.

We were part of Y Combinator S18's cohort and we are backed by Benchmark, Blossom, Index Ventures and Kima Ventures. A fantastic set of investors that has helped build some of the world's largest companies.

Something to consider when reading this job advert

We know people engage with job adverts differently. Some will view it as a checklist that needs to be at 100% before applying; others will see 60% as good enough. If you think you have what it takes but don't necessarily meet all the requirements on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat, learn more about you and see if it could be a great fit.

Travel Operations at Duffel

Travel sellers across the globe, from traditional travel agents to the latest mobile apps, use Duffel to sell flights. (We call these travel sellers "merchants".) 

For many of our merchants, we act as the accredited travel agent. We own and are responsible for their bookings - including complying with the airlines' rules and policies. 

You won't talk to travellers directly - instead, you'll work with merchants and Airline partners to make sure that the travellers get great customer service and understand how to use our products effectively.

You'll build great relationships with the merchants by responding to their queries and working with our Product Development team to escalate technical problems and shape the future of the product.
