About this role

Faire is disrupting an industry that is historically accustomed to deep relationships and a substantial human component. Against this backdrop, the Support Experience Pod’s mission is to match our technological advantage with prompt, tailored and cost effective support that drives high customer satisfaction across the marketplace. The pod owns both customer- and agent-facing product flows and strives to enable customers to self-solve where possible via intuitive and easy to navigate help content. Where customers need support, the pod strives to match users to the modality (chat, phone, email) that is most effective at solving their need. This pod is currently tasked with evaluating industry-leading investments into Artificial Intelligence while methodically continuing to improve our existing tools and processes to improve customer satisfaction.

What you’ll do

  • Become an expert on key customer support issues and their taxonomy, as well as all customer support flows, modalities and metrics, getting a strong understanding of drivers of support contacts and possible solutions.
  • Partner with the cross functional team to craft impactful user experiences that drive high satisfaction among internal and external users, while also ensuring operational efficiency
  • Push the boundaries of what our product can do with artificial intelligence to improve the customer outcomes and/ or operational efficiencies by working with vendors and internal teams to develop the next generation of support products.
  • Deeply understand the roadmaps of adjacent pods to help them address in product defects that lead to contacts
  • Drive incremental improvements by rigorously evaluating tradeoffs between investing in different support modalities (phone, chat, self solve) and across the agent or user facing experience.
  • Work with and learn from a broad range of world-class leaders across engineering, product management, data science, design, and operations
  • Make decisions alongside company founders and the CEO
  • Empower small businesses around the world to chase their dreams and invest in their local communities

  • You have familiarity with ML/AI as a tool to scale human-like interactions.
  • You are relentlessly resourceful. When something needs to get done, you always find a way to make it happen. Even when the work is hard, you power through it and execute with limited information and ambiguity.
