As the Client Operations Specialist – Global Assistance/Operations Coordinator, you will be the trusted first point of contact for customers and clients requiring health, travel, and security assistance around the world.

• Proven Track Record: Direct experience in end‑to‑end case handling, live voice/phone interactions, and active crisis or escalation management (pure back‑office/data‑entry roles are deprioritized).

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Graduate of a 4-year Bachelor’s Degree course (Medical background preferred, but candidates with strong analytical, financial, or complex customer service exposure are strongly welcome).

• Language Proficiency: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Filipino. Bilingual agility is critical for active listening, de‑escalation, and clear multi‑stakeholder communication. Additional languages/dialects are a plus.
