About the Role
The Senior Customer Operations Manager owns the operational systems that drive post-purchase customer experience, revenue recovery, and retention. While this role leads a customer support team, its primary responsibility is designing, optimizing, and scaling the operational engine behind returns, exchanges, cart recovery, QA, reporting, and continuous process improvement.
This is an operations-first leadership role for someone who thrives in building structure, creating operating rhythms, solving root-cause problems, and using data to improve business performance. Success is measured by stronger operational execution, improved KPIs, higher revenue recovery, and scalable processes—not simply managing customer support.
The ideal candidate operates independently, identifies opportunities before they become problems, and partners cross-functionally to continuously improve how the business serves customers while protecting revenue.
