💥 Your Impact

Your role will play a major role in our success because…

You will have direct impact on customer trust and retention by improving resolution times, quality, and proactive support. This role enables scale through process, tooling, and AI/automation adoption—helping deliver a high-quality benefits experience across PT & ES.

3. Increased team efficiency and support coverage via process redesign, tooling, and AI/automation adoption.

How we’ll measure success:

1. Median + p90 TTR, % tickets within SLA, backlog size & age (by market/channel), peak-time performance.

2. CSAT by market/channel, QA score, escalation rate, repeat contact rate, complaint themes trend.

3. Tickets per agent/day (or equivalent productivity), cost per ticket (if available), AI/automation coverage %, deflection/auto-resolution rate, reduction in manual workload for top drivers.

Let’s be real - here’s what makes this role challenging:

Balancing two markets with different realities and stakeholder expectations; driving change while protecting day-to-day performance; aligning priorities across Support, Product, Engineering, and Ops; building scalable playbooks without over-standardizing what should remain market-specific; managing peaks/incidents calmly.

👥 Manager & Team

Meet Your Manager

Hiring Manager: Tadeu Zanardo
Location: Spain
LinkedIn Profile

Profile Snapshot:

• Energy: upbeat, positive, sweet

• Communication: open, direct

• Feedback Style: giving feedback to the team is something I like to do - the people of my team are aligned. I have a personal feedback cycle that I give every quarter to my team.

How to work with me - in the Manager's own words:

I’m very chill and easy to work with — I keep things calm even when things get busy. I like simple, practical solutions and I don’t overcomplicate decisions.

Your Team

- Team structure: 8 agents. The team is composed by 4 junior profiles + 4 mid seniority agents, all very committed. W have 2 different teams: one just to take care of the employees, another to take care of managers. The team is responsible of doing customer support by chat and email only.

- Other stakeholders: Success Team, mainly

→ The team is autonomous to take the tickets. We have flows and automations to distribute the tickets (the TL does not need to do that, but it is important to control backlog, volume, control metrics, doing QA). This person will have strategic meetings with other stakeholders: customer success, product team, and also join some meetings of the Italian team to understand the strategy related to where we are going. Weekly meeting with the team to share metrics + slack channels to keep team updated and share things.

We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time  (we won’t know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage).

📬 Application Clarity

No cover letter required.
Apply with your LinkedIn or upload your CV.
You may be asked a few short, relevant questions.

Total candidate time investment: ~3–5 hours end-to-end.
