Job description

Company Overview

Nestig is a direct-to-consumer brand with a mission to create the most delightful place to shop for children’s spaces. Our brand is synonymous with quality, care, and trust, offering customers a seamless shopping experience and exceptional products for their little ones. As one of the fastest-growing consumer brands since 2021, Customer Experience (CX) is essential to our culture, and we believe this is a key part of what sets us apart from the competition. We strive to offer above-and-beyond support to customers as they are thinking about buying our products and after they have made their purchase.

Department Overview

As a key leader in the CX team, you will report directly to the Director, Customer Experience, managing a team of six direct reports. You will play a crucial role in coaching, developing, and supporting the team to ensure every customer interaction is a positive and seamless experience. You will also work cross-functionally with leadership and internal stakeholders (specifically operations and product) to continuously improve our processes and elevate our customer experience standards.

This full-time position will be based out of our Flatiron office in New York, with no flexibility for remote full-time.

What You'll Do

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of six customer experience direct reports, fostering a culture of excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement and growth;

• Serve as the liaison and expert on all tools used by the CX team, answering questions, troubleshooting, and pitching improvement opportunities;
• Advocate for customers and the team by identifying and reporting common pain points, collecting feedback, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to suggest and implement impactful solutions;
• Manage our most complex and escalated customer cases, de-escalating issues effectively and ensuring a positive resolution that both aligns with Nestig’s high standards of service and balances business financial feasibility;
• Act as a key stakeholder in crafting and refining CX policies, workflows, and escalation procedures to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction;
• Become a product expert, answering team questions and ensuring the team is well-informed and equipped to address inquiries across all product categories, from safety testing to assembly.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years experience in customer experience, with at least 1-2 years in a people management role
• Must be able to work onsite in our New York office in Flatiron three (3) days a week [Monday, Wednesday, Thursday]
• Experience in a D2C or early-stage, growth-oriented company strongly preferred

• Strong coaching skills, with the ability to motivate and develop high-performing direct reports and address performance issues when needed
• Excellent communications skills, both verbal and written, with a knack for creative problem-solving and calm, confident conflict resolution
• Data-driven mindset with experience analyzing customer feedback and performance metrics to optimize operations
• A proactive, solutions-oriented approach to problem solving and ability to thrive in a fast-paced and evolving environment
• Ability to embody and exercise Nestig's Core Values in all facets of the business
