## Description

### Description

Our client is hiring a senior customer-facing support professional to lead and elevate the client experience function for hairdresser clients across multiple channels.. This is not just a ticket-handling role. The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on customer support experience with the ability to guide junior team members, improve support processes, and help structure a scalable client experience function.

You will still actively engage with customers across Zendesk, WhatsApp, SMS, email, and social channels, but you will also play a key role in ensuring consistency, quality, and efficiency across the entire support operation.

-   Experience improving or building support processes, workflows, or SOPs.
-   Comfortable balancing hands-on support + operational thinking.
-   Reliable, proactive, and takes ownership of outcomes (not just tasks).

### **What Success Looks Like**

-   Customers receive faster, more consistent responses across all channels.
-   Junior support staff are effectively guided and improved over time.
-   Support processes become clearer, more structured, and scalable.
-   Fewer escalations due to improved first-line resolution.
