This involves using my knowledge of the industry, intuition, and experience to make evidence-based decisions over potential user account restrictions following disputes - Instigating and taking charge of team discussions and acting as the final authority on decisions relating to customer outcomes. This involves taking detailed minutes of team meetings, agreeing action plans, and monitoring associated tasks to completion whilst constantly monitoring customer satisfaction. Critical to this function is ensuring that the team remains focused to the organisations values. Since assuming this role, the time taken for the resolution of customer issues (TTR) has reduced by over 10% (10 hours to 9 hours MTTR) - Initiated the use of the process mapping software Miro to create flowcharts and guides for training purposes, and help train, guide, and be responsible for the on-boarding of new starters. As a result, the on-boarding process is both more consistent and streamlined, leading to a reduction in the time taken to on-board new joiners by 20%. This has also resulted in customers experiencing a more consistent and improved user journey from existing employees, due to the enhancement of our knowledge base through the process maps created Other core components of the role include: - Speaking over the phone with users in order to gather information and answer technical queries - Working as part of the product team to improve both user experience and internal processes for other aspects of the organisation - Helping construct and assess internal evaluations used to test the competency of tradespeople who wish to use the site - Helping to structure the system used to detect fake feedback left by consumers Show less
