We’re redefining the dining experience by building a world-class mobile ordering and delivery platform. Waitr’s marketplace is helping small businesses grow and acquire new customers while also bringing concierge level convenience to thousands of consumers. Waitr’s growth has been off the charts and has no signs of slowing down. We are launching dozens of new markets around the US each quarter, and we are experiencing massive organic growth in our existing markets.

This growth has warranted a renewed focus on the customer experience. Waitr’s Customer Success team is the front line in providing top-shelf quality support for our awesome customers; and, at Waitr we have three customers: Diners, Restaurants, and Drivers. This team owns all strategy behind the customer experience. This role will report to the Chief Logistics Officer at Waitr and the individual will oversee all aspects of the customer experience, managing the customer support flow from start to finish. Customer experience encapsulates the recruitment, hiring, training, and retention of our Customer Success Representatives, as well as the processes that the team uses to provide quick support and problem resolution.

At our scale, using both off-the-shelf and custom tools to automate/streamline these efforts is critical. Previous experience with large, hourly workforces is a positive for this role. Strong analytical abilities, team management, strategic planning, and a history of execution will be critical to succeeding. This role will have to coordinate strategic changes across multiple groups in operations, product, and engineering. The success of this person will be measured by both efficiency gains in response time to our customers and customer retention.
