**About Eva**

Hi, we're Eva And we're here to help fill your home with beautiful, functional, and affordable furniture. With our laser focus on design, marketing and customer-centricity, we want you to jump on board as we accelerate towards becoming Australia's leading digital furniture company. More info can be found on our Careers page but we know you'll probably check out our Instagram to get a gauge of who are (I would too).

**What's the gist?**

As the Customer Support Manager, you'll lead your team to success by delivering superior customer support to close sales at the right time (sell without selling, if you will). Be responsible for championing our customer-first plan, managing day-to-day operations and driving efficiency. Reporting directly to and supported by the co-founder, you will manage, lead and mentor a team of 5 (mix of on-shore & off-shore). Woohoo

**Without further ado, your responsibilities**:

- Manage the day-to-day operations of your team to drive customer satisfaction whilst balancing the needs of the business and wellbeing of the team
- Optimise the productivity of the team in addition to training, hiring and developing individuals within the team
- Drive high performance and customer focused support through role modelling, regular communication, feedback and recognition
- Create effective customer support procedures, policies, and standards.
- Empower team members to take ownership of customer experiences and meet company goals in a timely fashion.
- Be the point of contact for all escalations, whilst using this as a learning opportunity to empower team members. Where necessary, provide assistance and direct correspondence within customer support tickets and phone calls.
- Monthly reporting to the Founders and key stakeholders regarding performance, efficiency, and efficacy based on key metrics, data and customer feedback
- Maintain a high level of attention to detail in everything you touch.
- Proactively engage in learning to the mutual benefit of yourself & Eva
