This is a leadership role at the centre of our front-of-house operations. You'll guide the Customer Experience team, own our ticketing system hands-on, and act as the bridge between frontline service and management, stepping in for the Customer Experience Manager when they're away. You should be someone who leads with confidence, thinks a few steps ahead, and stays hands-on even at the busiest times.

What You'll Own

Customer Experience Leadership

• Set the tone at the front desk, modelling the service standard you want the team to deliver
• Oversee daily interactions across all channels
• Personally handle escalated or sensitive customer issues with fairness and empathy
• Maintain consistent service quality across every shift

Ticketing System Ownership

• Take hands-on ownership of our ticketing system, working tickets directly.
• Monitor queues and keep response times on track.
• Make sure every customer conversation is accurately logged and resolved.
• Spot recurring issues and flag trends that management should know about.

Team Scheduling & Coverage

• Plan and manage the Customer Experience team's roster.
• Ensure the floor is properly staffed across shifts, weekends and peak periods.
• Step in operationally yourself when coverage is tight.

Coaching & Development

• Mentor, coach and lead the Customer Experience Associates on service quality, systems and communication.
• Support onboarding and refreshers.
• Give management honest feedback on performance and training needs.

SOP Input & Continuous Improvement

• Bring frontline insight back to the Customer Experience Manager.
• Recommend improvements to SOPs, workflows and escalation paths based on what you see working (or not) on the ground.
• Contribute ideas rather than simply enforcing what's already written.

Acting Manager

• Step in for the Customer Experience Manager when they're unavailable.
• Keep decisions moving and the team supported in their absence.

About You

• 3 to 5 years of customer service experience, including at least 1 to 2 years leading, supervising or mentoring others.
• Comfortable owning a ticketing or CRM system hands-on, not just overseeing it.
• Calm and clear under pressure, with strong written and verbal communication.
• Structured and detail-driven; you care about getting records and processes right, not just resolving the issue in front of you.
• Able to balance leading a team with staying hands-on during busy periods.
• Diploma or Degree in Business, Hospitality, Communications, Education or a related field preferred; leadership or service‑excellence training is a plus.
• Able to work shifts, weekends and selected public holidays, including support during peak periods and events.
