Whether it’s visiting loved ones, starting an adventure, or a career-defining business trip, travel matters. And yet, anyone who’s booked a flight knows how painful it can be. Outdated systems, clunky tools, endless workarounds - it shouldn’t be this hard.

At Duffel, we’re on a mission to unravel travel. We’re rebuilding the infrastructure that powers the travel industry, making it simple, fast, and delightful. Backed by Benchmark, Blossom, Index Ventures, and Kima Ventures, we’re a London team growing fast - and looking for people who want to make a real impact.

  • Champion your portfolio’s product needs to influence our roadmap
  • Occasionally represent Duffel at events, panels, and forums

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years helping enterprise customers get value from a software or tech product
  • Proven track record of growing customer relationships and reducing churn
  • Experience in a fast-growing startup
  • Comfort supporting implementation pre, during, and post-launch
  • Strong problem-solving and independent judgment
  • Excellent communication, translating complex tech and business issues clearly
  • Analytical mindset, you enjoy digging into data to drive decisions
  • Experience working with API's
  • Experience aligning cross-functional teams, particularly engineering and product
  • Experience influencing product roadmap and sales strategy

Bonus points if you have:

  • Deep knowledge of travel tech (airline or hotel distribution)
  • Experience using AI or automation to scale customer success
  • Previous work with customer support or operations teams
