What You'll Bring
- 3+ years of experience in partner success, customer success or field operations - ideally in a delivery marketplace, retail, restaurant or ecommerce environment
- Demonstrated experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams
- Demonstrated experience of pragmatic problem solving and driving initiatives
- Ability to build trust quickly because you are authentic, direct, and have strong empathy for customers
- Organization and analysis - you use data to make decisions
