Our experience brings first-hand insight into frontline operations in the air and on the ground to enable cutting-edge concepts for improving the service that we deliver.

• Replicate and investigate issues in test environments where appropriate.
• Identify recurring problems and contribute to knowledge base updates or internal process improvements.

Escalation & Collaboration

• Create clear, well‑documented escalation tickets with detailed reproduction steps and supporting evidence.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure customer issues are tracked, managed, and resolved in a timely manner.
• Follow up on escalated cases to ensure resolution and customer satisfaction.

Communication & Customer Experience

• Communicate with customers in a clear, professional, and empathetic manner, keeping them informed of progress at all times.
• Close tickets with comprehensive summaries outlining the issue, resolution, and any preventive measures.
• Represent the “voice of the customer” internally, sharing insights and feedback to drive product and process improvements.

Operational Excellence

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all customer interactions and resolutions.
• Participate in cross‑departmental projects and assist other teams with time‑sensitive tasks as required.
• Take part in the shared out‑of‑hours rota, providing 24/7 support for top‑tier customers on a rotating schedule.

Flexible & Hybrid Working:

We said you'll get freedom to work in a way that is best for you, and that extends to being in the office – or not. Work better from home? No worries. Prefer the office? Come on down. We have 2 mandatory Townhall days; Spring and Autumn, where the whole business gets together. When you visit the office you won’t just find rows and rows of desks. No, you’ll find our colleagues meeting on the walking pads, having planning sessions over a game of tennis table or grabbing a bean bag in our ‘Quality’ collaborative space - that’s right we live our values so much, we named our meeting spaces after them.

Connect with us: Interested in the role, or Airbox in general, but you don’t meet 100% of the requirements? We’d love to hear from you! We encourage you to connect with us here; we’d be excited to see if your unique skill set and experience could be a match for future roles.

A note for Recruitment Agencies: Agencies, we appreciate you… but unsolicited CV’s will not be reviewed. We will only accept CV submissions for roles briefed to you by us. Please don’t keep pulling the attention of our Support team from our customers.

If you would be interested in working with us – please send a message to [e-mail], should we have anything we need additional support on we will reach out to you.
