Junior Operations Specialist - Legal Operations

At AirHelp, we’re building the world’s most trusted platform for air passenger rights. Every day, millions of travelers face delays, cancellations, and overbookings - and we step in to turn frustration into fair compensation.

This is your opportunity to join a high-impact claims operations team working at the intersection of customer experience, aviation, and cross-border dispute resolution. You’ll collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners, take ownership of complex customer cases, and help scale a mission-driven product that creates real outcomes for real people.

No legal degree required - what matters is your ownership mindset, curiosity, and ability to deliver results with precision.
