Teamwork is at the core of our success, and we celebrate together — on a boat tour, over lunch, on our rooftop terrace, or during a friendly FIFA or Mario Kart match in the lounge. A Day in the Life You start your morning reviewing the [email protected] intake queue, dividing up incoming priorities with your fellow Operations Associate , and coordinating with a Client Success & Key Account Manager on campaign timelines for an ICP account. Later that morning, you address an active client concern regarding an ongoing project timeline. After working out a smooth, creative solution directly with the freelancer creator to get the deliverable back on track, you proactively loop in the account's CS/KAM lead so they are fully armed with context for an upcoming strategic call. After lunch, you sync with a Senior CS Ops Specialist to share feedback from recent client requests, identifying a platform workflow tweak that could save hours of manual effort. Before wrapping up, you review tomorrow’s project deliverables and join your team on the rooftop terrace to unwind. Sounds Good? We’re looking forward to your application! If you’re excited about this role but don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you — diversity of experience matters to us.
