Ensure responses are not only accurate but also customer-centric and solution-oriented
Requirements
3–6 years of experience in customer operations, with proven experience managing and stabilizing a frontline team
Demonstrated ability to drive team performance, enforce accountability, and maintain operational discipline in a high-volume environment
Strong hands-on operator — willing to be involved in day-to-day execution, escalation handling, and team follow-ups
Experience in process improvement and workflow optimization, with a practical (not theoretical) approach
Strong judgment in identifying gaps in operations and taking decisive action to resolve issues quickly
Comfortable working in a flat structure with high ownership and minimal layers of management
High level of ownership, resilience, and consistency in follow-through
Familiarity with customer service tools (e.g. Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk or similar)
