About the role

We are looking for dedicated, experienced, and passionate individuals to help establish our User Operations team.

• Design and implement support process improvements, focusing on tangible metrics like CSAT, SLAs, and of course striving for delightful interactions.
• Equip other customer-facing teams with best-in-class training, playbooks, and workflows.
• Foster a supportive and productive work culture within the User Operations team.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 10+ years of experience in user operations or customer support roles, ideally in tech startups or fast-paced environments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to comprehend and communicate complex technical issues.
• Proven experience in training cross-functional teams and driving performance improvements.
• A customer-centric mindset, with a proven record of enhancing user experience.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate your team.
• Prior experience with user support systems and tools, and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
