Customer Hero Operations Specialist at SpotHero:
The Customer Hero Operations Specialist keeps the workflows behind our front-line team accurate, timely, and moving—so Customer Heroes can focus on customers, escalations are resolved without waiting on a director-level resource, and downstream partners such as Accounting and Revenue receive reliable information. This individual contributor owns high-judgment, detail-heavy operational work; serves as a subject matter expert and connection point between Customer Heroes and Customer Hero leadership; and uses trends from daily work to strengthen quality, policies, training, and processes.
What You’ll Do:
- Own the accurate and timely execution of core Customer Service operations, including reimbursement approvals, citation rejections, manual adjustments, customer contact requests, and financial files shared with Accounting. Maintain defined controls, service levels, and an error rate below 3%.
- Resolve Tier 1 escalations that fall outside Sidekick scope, applying sound judgment within established policies and ensuring customers and Customer Heroes receive timely support. Provide operational coverage when Power 2 or Customer Service leadership is unavailable while escalating people, policy, or material business decisions appropriately.
- Maintain the team’s operational reporting cadence, including CSAT, efficiency, quality, and Hero performance reporting. Validate data, meet established deadlines, and help leaders and Customer Heroes understand what the metrics are telling us.
- Monitor reimbursement, rejection, adjustment, contact-request, and escalation activity to identify recurring issues, quality risks, and policy gaps. Translate those insights into practical recommendations that improve workflows, training, and the customer and Hero experience.
- Serve as a trusted subject matter expert on Customer Service tools, policies, workflows, and quality standards. Provide front-line guidance, act as a second opinion for Level 2 Customer Heroes, and help keep support channels current and responsive.
- Support a smooth employee lifecycle by coordinating timely onboarding, offboarding, and system access for Customer Heroes. Protect data integrity and appropriate access while identifying opportunities to make these processes more reliable and efficient.
- Connect front-line Customer Heroes, Customer Hero leadership, Accounting, Revenue, and Operations partners by communicating feedback, trends, risks, and operational needs. Participate in management discussions, contribute recommendations, and follow through on agreed actions.
