About The Role
Head of Customer Support — eCommerce | GSF Car Parts
📍 Wolverhampton / Hybrid
Full-time
We're one of the UK's leading automotive parts retailers, and our eCommerce division is growing fast — in the UK and across Europe. We're looking for a Head of Customer Support to own the customer experience behind it all.
This role is based 3 days in the office, 2 from home. The office cannot be accessed via public transport, so own vehicle is a must.
The Role
This is your chance to build and lead a support function that genuinely moves the needle. You'll own the end-to-end support experience across all our digital channels in the UK, while managing the outsourced partner who'll deliver customer support across our new European markets. Getting that partnership right — the onboarding, the standards, the performance — is central to our expansion, and it's yours to own.
You won't just be firefighting tickets — you'll be tackling root causes, driving down cost-to-serve, and making sure every customer, trade or retail, gets fast, expert help when they need it.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Use support data to fix friction across the customer journey
- Partner with trading, fulfilment, and digital to solve problems at source
About You
What you'll bring
- Proven leadership of a customer support or contact centre team, ideally in eCommerce or omnichannel retail
