About us

At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better.

We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day.

Our MIS and school management tools are already making a difference in over 7,000 schools and trusts. Giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days.

At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren’t just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

About the role

We are looking for a proactive and experienced Self-Service Manager to join our Customer Operations team and help us ensure our customers can find the information and support they need quickly and easily. The remit and focus of the role is to be responsible for managing and optimising our self-service channels, including our chatbot and help centre, to enhance customer experience and drive efficiency. It’s a broad and exciting role, so we’re looking for someone up for a challenge - if you’re a collaborative and customer focused person, this is the role for you.

Core responsibilities

• Chatbot Management:
• Oversee the day-to-day management and performance of the chatbot, including content updates, dialogue flow optimisation, and issue resolution.
• Analyse chatbot performance data to identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance user experience and resolution rates.

• Monitor and manage chatbot training data to ensure accuracy and relevance.
• Maintain and update the help centre content to ensure accuracy, clarity, and accessibility.
• Develop and implement strategies to improve help centre search functionality and user navigation.
• Analyse help centre usage data to identify knowledge gaps and develop new content to address customer needs.
• Ensure the help center content is aligned with the bot content and that both services work together effectively.
• Work to improve SEO of help centre content.
• Performance Monitoring and Reporting:
• Develop and maintain key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the effectiveness of self-service channels.
• Generate regular reports on self-service performance, highlighting trends and areas for improvement.
• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Customer Experience Enhancement:
• Identify and address customer pain points within the self-service journey.
• Implement strategies to improve customer satisfaction and reduce reliance on assisted support channels (including the customer milestone calendar)
• Gather customer feedback and insights to inform self-service improvements.
