Role Overview and Objectives:

The ideal candidate for the Head of Customer Service position is a seasoned leader adept at managing both internal and outsourced teams. Key skills include critical thinking, data-driven strategic planning, a strong customer focus, proactive implementation of innovative practices (such as AI-driven solutions), and effective prioritization. In Gelato's dynamic environment, the candidate must swiftly adapt, make informed decisions, and raise pertinent questions to enhance customer experience while maintaining operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

  • Leadership: Direct, coordinate, supervise, and mentor teams of over 10 members and indirect outsourced partners.
  • Customer Focus & Communication: Maintain exceptional attention to customer satisfaction and ensure clear communication with clients and various internal stakeholders.
  • Adaptability: Excel in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
  • Operational Efficiency: Drive enhancements in customer experience while managing operational expenses.
  • Innovative Mindset: Eager to learn and implement new methodologies, utilizing advanced tools and technologies (e.g., AI-driven solutions).
  • Experience with Automation: Proven background in customer service automation technologies (chatbots, AI-enhanced support).
  • Accountability: Full responsibility for customer service P&L, operational goals, and related contracts.
  • Team Management: Expertise in staff forecasting, developing and executing action plans, and managing large-scale procurement processes.
  • CRM Proficiency: Skilled in CRM platforms like Intercom and Zendesk to enhance agent performance.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Strategic Development: Formulate and implement customer service strategies for GelatoConnect in collaboration with the VP of Customer Service.
  • Team Leadership: Recruit, train, and evaluate the performance of global customer service teams, including outsourced partners.
  • Operational Excellence: Optimize operational costs and performance metrics, leveraging automation and AI to enhance efficiency and reduce expenses.
  • Customer Experience Improvement: Continuously seek ways to enhance customer satisfaction, addressing issues while proactively identifying opportunities for improvement.

The Head of Customer Service role encompasses various hands-on tasks aimed at improving customer experience and operational efficiency. Daily activities include designing and refining support workflows, analyzing data to identify recurring opportunities for enhancing customer satisfaction and automation. You will oversee your team's execution and performance, actively participating in resolving escalations as necessary, while also engaging in forecasting, budgeting, and reporting tasks.

As the advocate for the customer, you will represent their needs in meetings and discussions, working to reduce tickets per order (TPO%) by addressing root causes. For instance, implementing an AI-driven chatbot to manage common inquiries allows agents to concentrate on more complex issues. Collaboration with Product and Network teams is vital for driving improvements.
