  • Document cases, workflows, and solutions in our CRM system (e.g., Gorgias, Zendesk, or similar).
  • Identify patterns in customer feedback to propose improvements for product, website UX, or CX processes.
  • Collaborate with marketing, e-commerce, and operations on cross-functional initiatives.

Success in This Role Looks Like:
