DESCRIPTION
We’re looking to hire an experienced, motivated, organised and data driven customer experience manager to lead and build our customer support team in London.
Click Mechanic is a marketplace for car mechanics that is bringing trust and transparency to car repair. The platform enables customers to acquire real-time industry standard quotes (a first in Europe) and quickly book a vetted mechanic online.
Founded in 2012 by EF alumni Andrew Jervis and Felix Kenton, the company has grown quickly to offer nationwide coverage and is backed on its mission by such institutional investors as 500 Startups, and Forward Partners as well as angel investors including the former CEO of Just Eat and Chairman of Treatwell.
Customer experience is the crucial part of Click Mechanic's operations: it helps ensure our customers receive a great service and their cars get fixed quickly, and keeps our mechanics' diaries full. The purpose of the role is to build and lead a team whilst continually improving processes that deliver optimal operation efficiency and improved customer journey. You’ll be working at the heart of the business and engaging with people on all levels, both internally and externally to build and develop this team.
