Job Title: Customer Success Manager, User Operations (Engagements)

Location: Remote

About the Role

• We’re looking for an experienced customer success leader to help Paystack build Africa’s most delightful customer experience.
• We approach customer support a little differently at Paystack. For one thing, customer support is housed within our Growth department, which reflects our deep belief that the quality of our customer interactions is an important growth lever. Our customer support team is also deeply embedded within our product delivery teams, to ensure a strong feedback loop between what we’re seeing in the field, and rapid process and feature improvements.
• What this means is that in addition to responding quickly and helpfully to both merchants and merchants’ customers, our primary goal within the User Operations team is to build scalable systems that preempt friction before it happens. And where we discover inefficiency, we work closely with cross-functional teams to implement long-term solutions which ensure that those issues never happens again.
• We’re able to do this by hiring smart, empathetic problem-solvers, and giving them custom tools that empowers them to accelerate growth for Paystack merchants.

What is the Scope of Responsibilities?

• As the Customer Success Manager for User Operations (Engagements) you will lead a team of User Operations Specialists and outsourced support agents to a deliver delightful customer experiences to merchants in Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa (and more coming).
• You will optimise existing messaging channels (email, social media, phone, live chat), deploy new ones (e.g. WhatsApp), and ensure that every single person who reaches out to Paystack consistently has a superlative experience.
• You will work closely with the Product and Engineering teams to ensure that feedback from users is incorporated into product improvements. You will also work with these teams to ensure that your direct reports and our vendor agents have the best tools and integrations needed to carry out their work efficiently.
• There has never been a better time to join Paystack. We’re building the financial technology rails that thousands of businesses across several countries rely on to drive growth, and as the CSM for User Ops, you and your team will ensure a high level of operational efficiency that keeps us worthy of their trust.
• This is a remote-friendly, full-time role, reporting directly to the Customer Success Lead. The successful candidate will ideally be physically located within the GMT -3 to GMT +3 timezones. If you’re based outside Nigeria, the role will require occasional travel to Lagos, Nigeria at least four times a year, when it’s safer to travel.

We’ll trust you to:

• Set up tools and processes which ensure that users reaching out to Paystack receive helpful responses, quickly. You’ll optimise our communication channels to ensure that we always have the optimal number of agents at all times, and that our self-serve tools such as our Help Centre documentation is constantly improving
• Hire and coach members of the Engagements team
• Establish and nurture relationships with the most reliable Business Process Outsourcing partners in the markets in which we operate. You’ll hold them accountable for high performance, deliver trainings that keep them abreast of product improvements, and more.
• Be an advocate for merchants internally, and design tight feedback loops between customers and the Product and Engineering teams to improve products and processes
• Collaborate with teams across the company, including Finance, Legal, Key Accounts, Geographic Expansion and Integrations, to ensure that we’re solving problems and removing friction for merchants
• Advise Paystack merchants who are interested in improving their own user operations systems. This might take the form of trainings, templates, or anything else that empowers our merchants to also deliver best-in-class support to their customers.
