About the Role
We're looking for an experienced and proactive Customer Service Contractor to help shape and scale the customer experience across a growing subscription-based digital product portfolio, including a mobile app and premium audio subscription offering.
This is not a traditional customer service role. You'll be the primary owner of customer operations, responsible for building processes, improving customer journeys, managing incidents, and establishing the systems and frameworks needed to support a rapidly growing subscriber base.
You'll work closely with Product, Editorial, Marketing, Technology teams and external partners to deliver an exceptional customer experience while helping define how customer support evolves over the next phase of growth.
What You'll Be Doing
Customer Support & Subscriber Experience
- Act as the primary customer service contact across all subscription products
- Manage and own the customer support inbox, ensuring service levels and response-time targets are consistently met
- Resolve customer queries relating to:
- Account access
- Identity and security
- Subscription management
- Marketing preferences
- General customer account support
- Create and operate GDPR processes, including:
- Subject Access Requests
- Right to be Forgotten requests
- Data management workflows
- Build and manage sanctions screening processes where required
- Own incident management processes, acting as the central coordinator during customer-impacting issues
- Manage and route customer complaints to relevant Editorial, Compliance, Product or Technology teams
- Ensure external support partners are delivering a high-quality customer experience through regular oversight and guidance
