  • Drive operational alignment between customer service, planning, production, and quality to ensure customers receive reliable and accurate updates on timelines and order status.
  • Establish clear internal workflows for processing orders, managing changes, and resolving issues , ensuring ownership and accountability at each stage.
  • Serve as a champion for the voice of the customer in internal meetings and decision-making processes.

  • Coach team members through real-time correspondence reviews and feedback, ensuring tone, detail, and professionalism align with brand expectations.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage customer escalations , build trust, and provide transparent updates under pressure.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills —must be able to train others in email etiquette, response structure, and tone.
  • Experience setting up and refining customer service processes, including CRM or ticketing systems.
  • Naturally detail-oriented and highly responsive—able to juggle competing priorities and meet deadlines without sacrificing quality.
