Process driven. You have superior organizational skills, and constantly look to rejig things to make them more efficient.

Naturally curious. You love learning how things work and you’re always looking for ways to innovate. You enjoy testing different support strategies and tracking the results.

Motivated. You understand the impact of a highly satisfied, excited crew of users; you are slightly obsessive-compulsive about grinding away at issues.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Owning the success metrics for customer SLAs and facility operational and financial performance

Driving performance improvements through process development and innovation

Collecting and reporting on performance data

Ensuring that the Greenlight location space is well supplied and maintained

Solid verbal and written communication skills

Literate in SQL and Excel or another data management tool preferred, but not required

Previous experience with customer support or experience with Zendesk is a nice bonus, but not required

Opportunity to help shape the future of Uber Activation Centers at Uber.
