The role
Lead from the front, in a market we're building together
As Sendify grows in Germany, the CS team is at the heart of making that growth real, and we're now looking for the person who'll own it, shape it, and lead it.
You'll have full operational ownership of the German CS team across customer service, claims, and invoice errands. At least 60% of your time you're in the daily schedule alongside your team, on chats, calls, and emails. You lead by example, and the standard you set is the standard the team holds.
You'll work closely with the German Operations Lead on strategic direction and goals, and play an important role in keeping the connection between CS and Sales tight, since the two teams share ownership of the customer journey.
01 — Run the operation
Own scheduling, response targets, quality and day-to-day carrier escalations.
02 — Develop the team
Coach specialists, lead 1:1s and own performance reviews.
03 — Drive improvement
Bring customer insights cross-functionally and drive process improvements.
