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.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced luxury travel professional who combines search expertise, exceptional client communication, and leadership to deliver five-star service at scale.

You’ll lead a team of Client Service Members while personally handling VIP and high-complexity clients. You’ll own the complete client journey from intake through delivery, coach your team daily, and ensure every interaction reflects FlyFlat’s commitment to effortless luxury.

Team Leadership

• Lead and coach 3–5 Client Service Members with daily feedback and real-time problem-solving.
• Supervise all client searches and communications during your shift.
• Run weekly team reviews to improve search quality and communication.

• Propose search optimizations and training improvements.
• Handle escalations with empathy and confidence.

What You Bring

Must Have:

• 3+ years in luxury travel, premium concierge, or high-touch client service.
• Deep expertise with Sabre GDS — proficient in flight search, fare rules, and creative routing.
• Experience with mileage programs and premium booking methods.
• Excellent written communication — your quotes are clear, polished, and reflect luxury standards.
• Proven track record of meeting 95%+ SLA or quality standards.
• Leadership or mentoring experience — you’ve coached others, even informally.
• Calm under pressure — you prioritize effectively when requests pile up.

Nice to Have:

• Background in luxury hospitality or high-end concierge services.
• Experience with VIP or high-net-worth clients.
• Familiarity with workflow tools, mileage platforms, or CRM systems.
