Location: Hybrid (2 days in Shoreditch office near Old Street, London)
Salary: £80-90k (includes comprehensive benefits package)

For a decade, we've been on a mission to close the Trust Gap—commerce's most expensive problem. In a world where distance and digital interfaces separate buyers and sellers, we're building the definitive trust infrastructure that enables global trade to flourish.

We recognize that trust is not binary but a spectrum, and our work continually expands the boundaries of commerce itself. Each improvement we make enables transactions that previously wouldn't have happened, revealing new frontiers where trust can be further enhanced.

We've grown from an idea into the dominant force for trust in e-commerce:

• Shopify's #1 Review Solution: We've earned over 29k five-star reviews from merchants who rely on us daily

• Global Scale: More than 500k shops across 140+ countries use our platform

• Massive Reach: We process over 70 million orders monthly, generating 2 million+ verified buyer reviews

• Organic Growth: We've achieved 40% year-over-year growth purely through word of mouth—no paid marketing or sales teams needed

We're seeking a performance-driven Head of Customer Support to architect and optimize a technology-first support operation that directly fuels our growth engine. This role demands a strategic technologist who will maximize AI automation using Intercom's Fin AI while maintaining rigorous performance standards across our contractor network. You'll build systems and processes that transform support from a traditional cost center into our #1 revenue driver in the Shopify ecosystem.

You'll join at a critical transformation moment, reporting directly to the CEO with full ownership of our support technology stack and contractor performance optimization. This is not a traditional people management role - it's a performance engineering position focused on systems, metrics, and results.

Our app store reviews are our lifeblood - every support interaction is a revenue opportunity. You'll work collaboratively with our Growth team to systematically engineer these touchpoints for maximum 5-star review generation, directly impacting our growth trajectory and market dominance.

As the architect of our support transformation, you'll build technology-driven systems that achieve exponential efficiency gains - leveraging AI and automation to deliver exceptional outcomes while optimizing every performance metric. You'll be empowered to implement cutting-edge approaches that prove "epic customer support isn't a cost center – it's our growth engine.”
