Responsibilities
Own complex customer support escalations (refunds, complaints, itinerary changes, platform disputes), making judgment-based decisions on refunds, rebookings, and goodwill gestures to balance customer experience and business outcomes.
Partner cross-functionally with S-Rides Ops, Support, and Finance/Legal to resolve cases efficiently, ensuring clear ownership and seamless handovers.
Identify, tag, and analyze root causes and recurring escalation themes, translating insights into process, policy, or tooling improvements that reduce repeat issues.
Design, maintain, and evolve SOPs and playbooks by request type, enabling the broader Support team to handle recurring cases consistently and with confidence.
Create and maintain Intercom macros/templates and inbound routing guides (message type → tagging → inbox routing → resolution) to improve speed, quality, and decision consistency.
Own and continuously improve escalation guardrails (refund, gesture, rebooking frameworks) to ensure fair, scalable, and consistent decision-making across edge cases.
Owns Intercom inbox architecture (inboxes, tags, assignment rules, chat paths) to ensure correct routing, clear ownership, and inbox hygiene.
Ensures platform messages are routed to the correct Intercom inbox and handled through the correct playbook, improving routing accuracy and reducing misassignments.
Defines and maintains a tagging/taxonomy structure that enables reliable reporting, faster triage, and consistent case categorization.
Identifies routing gaps and improves workflows to reduce manual handling and improve speed-to-resolution for platform-driven requests.
Supports improvements in Intercom workflows, automation, and AI-assisted tooling to reduce handling time and increase consistency and resolution quality.
Supports chatbot and self-serve flows on S-Rides pages (in collaboration with relevant stakeholders), ensuring correct routing, clear handover to agents, and well-defined escalation paths.
Drives adoption of tooling changes through lightweight rollout notes, brief enablement sessions, and ongoing feedback loops.
Supports end-to-end launch readiness for new cities, from city research and ideal s-ride selection using internal tools, to supplier outreach and coordination (drivers/companies).
Creates and maintains city playbooks, including operational specifics, local considerations, and support handling notes for consistent execution.
Ensures Support readiness before go-live by preparing routing rules, macros/templates, SOPs, and escalation logic for the new destination.
Supports launch checklists and cross-team coordination to ensure each destination goes live with clear processes and scalable support coverage.
Tracks and reports on key support KPIs (SLA/first response time, resolution time, backlog health, routing accuracy, CSAT) for both guest-facing and driver-facing cases.
Identifies trends and recurring friction points, prioritizes improvements, and coordinates with relevant teams to implement fixes.
Produces a weekly/monthly snapshot on top escalation drivers, operational risks, and recommended process/tooling improvements to align stakeholders and priorities
