Join to apply for the Customer Experience Team Manager role at Artsy

Artsy is looking for a Customer Experience Team Manager to help shape how collectors and galleries engage with the online art market. You’ll balance managing a small two-person team while also handling your own daily case load. You’ll be responsible for escalations, process improvements, and mentoring a high-performing support team.

We’re looking for someone who is a strong senior individual contributor who also has experience guiding a team to achieve key customer support goals and KPIs. This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can navigate ambiguity, drive operational improvements, and ensure our collectors and galleries receive best-in-class support. If you’re passionate about art, technology, and building great customer experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do at Artsy:

• Manage and support a small teamof two Customer Experience Managers, providing mentorship, coaching, and development opportunities.
• Handle your own case load including complex or high-stakes escalations, working closely with internal teams to resolve issues efficiently.
• Balance leadership with hands-on support, maintaining your own case load while ensuring your team meets performance goals.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows and processes, and carry out these projects from conception to reporting.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, operations, and sales teams to advocate for customer needs and drive improvements.
• Monitor key performance metrics and use data-driven insights to refine support strategies.
• Foster a culture of problem-solving, ownership, and continuous learning within the team.
• Work closely with your New York counterpart to create a consistent experience.

This Role Is a Fit for You If You:

• Have 3+ years of experience in a customer support or operations role, with at least 1 year of people management or team leadership experience.
• Are able to balance and prioritize multiple responsibilities, from handling cases to overseeing operational improvements to guiding team members.
• Like untangling tricky problems, and are quickly able to identify inefficiencies and implement solutions.
• Are an excellent communicator, both written and verbal, with the ability to simplify complex issues.
• Have experience working with customer support and reporting tools, like Salesforce, Looker, and Zendesk.
• Are passionate about art and technology and excited about making the art world more accessible.

This role is unlikely to be a good match for you if you…

• Struggle to give or receive tough feedback, including holding your team to targets.
• Prefer having a set routine or a clear set of rules. Most of your work will be problem solving in ambiguous situations.
• Are uncomfortable managing data sets or doing reporting.

What success looks like in your first 3-6 months:

• You’ve established trust with your team, providing clear guidance, feedback, and support while ensuring strong individual and team performance.
• You confidently handle escalations and complex cases, collaborating with internal teams to drive effective resolutions.
• You’ve identified and implemented at least one process improvement that enhances efficiency, reduces friction, or improves the customer experience.

We know no one is a perfect match on paper, so if you’re passionate about this role, please apply! We’re excited to learn how your skills, experiences, and insights could make a difference.

Please Note: We can only accept applications from those eligible to live and work in London. We are unable to sponsor visas for this position. This is a hybrid role with office attendance required 2-3 days /week.
