As a Customer Experience Associate, you will be the voice of the customer experience. You will manage and respond to all customer feedback and inquiries. To inform product strategy, you will analyze and synthesize customer insights and share them with the EPD (Engineering, Product, and Design) organization.

You will continually improve customer experience by tracking the progress of our customer sentiment, setting goals to improve it, and proposing recommendations to EPD to make progress.

You will partner with a UX Research Manager and Product Designers to conduct evaluative research and share insights to advocate for a customer-first philosophy in the organization.

Here’s what you’ll do as part of the team:

Manage and respond to renter feedback across all platforms: email, social media, online reviews, web forums, and more.

Identify process inefficiencies and implement improvements to ensure scalability and documentation of all new and existing Customer
Experience processes.
Partner with Product Designers to conduct thoughtful evaluative research to guide product decisions.

You go beyond responding to customer feedback by analyzing and synthesizing recommendations to improve customer experience.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, proactively initiating projects with cross-functional stakeholders. You have strong communication and collaboration skills and extensive experience partnering seamlessly with cross-functional partners. You are a compelling storyteller with strong presentation skills and a proven high bar for quality and attention to detail.
