Description du poste

Looking for a role that fills your cup? Good news, T2 Tea is looking for a Customer Care Manager to join its passionate team.

If you are collaborative, you’ll thrive in an environment where creativity and purpose come together, teams are empowered, and the T2 experience is shaped across every touchpoint.

About Us

We’re T2, a tea brand known for its delicious tea made with premium, sustainable ingredients. Every day, we love to excite our customers by inviting them into our world of tea, online and in our retail stores across Australia and New Zealand.

Like our teas, our people are unique and diverse. We believe every team member brings different experience and skills to each role which is invaluable to T2. In return we provide training, incentives and encourage an inclusive culture through our policies and initiatives.

Today, we’re part of LIPTON Teas and Infusions, the world’s largest tea business. For our team, this connection opens opportunities to build global relationships, expand your career globally and participate in global programs and industry-leading initiatives.

We’re also proudly B Corp Certified, get to know more about us at: https://www.t2tea.com

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Retail & Wholesale, the Customer Care Manager leads how T2 looks after customers wherever they find us: in our stores, online, through Tea Society and Sipscription, and on the shelves of our wholesale partners. You'll lead Customer Care across Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world from our Melbourne Support Office, with a small permanent team plus a seasonal crew for peak.

This isn't a role about clearing tickets. You'll make service faster and more on-brand, put AI and automation to work on the routine stuff so your team can focus on the conversations that matter, and turn helpful chats into confident purchases. Just as importantly, you'll take what customers tell us to the people who can fix it, so they need to contact us less. You'll be as at home in Gorgias as you are presenting customer insight to senior leaders, with a genuine curiosity about tea to match.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Leading service across email, chat, social, phone and reviews in Gorgias, with clear service levels and fair, consistent handling of escalations and complaints
• Being the go-to support line for our store teams, and making sure customers get the same answer in store as they do online
