What You’ll Do

As a Customer Operations Associate, you’ll be at the forefront of delivering excellent experiences for customers, reporting directly to our Chief Commercial & Insurance Officer in the UK.

Your role will be varied and may change over time as you (and we!) grow, but initially you’ll be involved in things like:

• leading our small UK Customer Support team and helping to develop and scale the team as we grow;
• being the go-to person for handling challenging or complex customer support cases;
• getting hand-on on the tools to optimise how we’re using processes and technology in customer operations to drive better and faster outcomes for customers; and
• championing our company value of ‘No Excuses’, working closely with other teams around the business to make sure that we’re continuously driving improvements for customers.

At Open, we firmly believe your career is what you make it and we are big supporters of helping people to grow into new roles as we grow. 

Across our global team, other Customer Operations Associates have grown into leadership roles in our Customer Operations teams, while others have flexed their skills in new teams like Digital Product & Platform.

Let’s see where this role takes you!
