About the job
Customer advocacy is at the heart of Hopper. We believe that every interaction before, during and after buying with Hopper should earn the customer’s trust and loyalty. We focus every company decision first on what’s best for our customers. Customer service is an important driver of core business metrics, in particular retention and lifetime customer value. We measure the effectiveness of our work through this lens. We generate long-term revenue by providing services that customers value, and we will not charge fees or markups for support services that aren’t also available through a free self-serve feature. CS Supervisors are frontline SMEs that provide agents with assistance on complex requests, manage intraday scheduling adjustment, and ensure SLA adherence and team productivity. The ideal candidate will have an advanced understanding of FMP inventory and product lines and a careful eye for volume management.

Responsiblities

  • A large part of the Supervisor position is monitoring the stack. The first reflex should be to facilitate, with a quick transition into getting things done.
  • The Supervisor’s priority is making sure that the volume is being handled by the agents across all inboxes, queues and other user entry points. This means having a bird’s eye view on the stack and incoming Customer volume. A Supervisor’s initial reflex should be the following (in no particular order):
  • Closely monitor open conversations. Action in priority: anything old, urgent or stagnant. Make sure that all conversations are assigned to the correct teams, jumping in when needed to clear out any Kustomer backlog. Handle and record any escalated cases, providing support to all agents via Slack & Help Desk. Keep agents accountable to the minimum expectations of their role
  • CS Supervisors should feel comfortable with the skills and responsibilities required of agents and a baseline understanding of their role.
