The Opportunity

This is not a typical customer support role.

If tickets are not created, tracked, escalated, and closed properly - this role owns it.

What You'll Own (Core Focus) 1. Ticketing, Tracking & Resolution (CRITICAL)
  • Create a ticket for every customer issue - no exceptions
  • Ensure tickets are properly categorized, assigned, and tracked
  • Own the full lifecycle: creation follow-up resolution confirmation
  • Enforce SLA compliance and response times
  • Follow up internally across teams until resolution is complete
  • Ensure clear and consistent communication with customers
  • Maintain zero loose ends - every ticket must be closed properly
  • Identify recurring issues and escalates patterns

This is the most important responsibility in the role

3. Systems & Workflow Discipline
  • Operate and maintain ticketing systems (Zendesk, Zoho, etc.)
  • Ensure correct routing, tagging, and escalation flows
  • Train and guide agents on proper system usage
  • Enforce structured workflows and accountability
  • Improve processes where inefficiencies or gaps exist
4. Data, Reporting & Insight

Daily

  • Monitor dashboards and ticket queues
  • Identify delays, gaps, or operational issues early

Weekly

  • Report on ticket performance, resolution times, and operational trends
  • Highlight risks and areas for improvement

Monthly

  • Share structured insights and recommendations
  • Track performance and system effectiveness
What We're Looking For
  • Strong execution mindset - you focus on getting things done daily
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Experience in:
    • Help Desk / Support Ops / Customer Operations
    • Ticketing systems (Zendesk, Zoho, Freshdesk, etc.)
  • Strong ownership mentality - you follow through until completion
  • Comfortable managing multiple tasks across teams simultaneously
  • Clear and structured communicator
Bonus
  • Experience in fintech, logistics, or operations-heavy environments
  • Experience managing or training support agents
  • Exposure to structured operational processes or audits
Why This Role is Different
  • You are not just responding to tickets - you own their outcome
  • You directly impact operations across multiple countries
  • You help enforce discipline, structure, and accountability
