Additionally, you’ll help to incubate and test our process, training materials, and tools.

• Translate customer needs and feature requests into recommendations for our product team
• Lead by example, resolving the toughest of issues from customers and ensuring that the team constantly performs at a high level
• Be a subject matter expert (SME): You will develop and maintain deep knowledge about our customers’ experiences, identify trending issues and support rapid triage and resolution

What you must have:
 

• 3+ years of experience in a customer-facing role
• Proven commitment to fostering consistently outstanding customer experiences
• Passion for identifying and articulating nuanced (at times technical) problems in plain writing
• An ownership mentality, always looking for opportunities to better your work product
• Ability to translate analysis to actions quickly, and test your hypotheses to solve challenging business problems at their root level
• Demonstrated ability to self-organize and prioritize work in an ambiguous environment
• Comfortability working with modern customer support and productivity tools (Salesforce, Google Workspace, Confluence, etc)

Bonus points!

• Comfortable pulling data from multiple sources, reading and analyzing data, doing analysis in Excel (can perform complex functions) or google sheets, and collaborating with analytics partners for more sophisticated analyses
• Previous experience in high-tech or transportation industry
• Experience leading people directly or indirectly
• Passion for the AV industry
