• Highly detail-oriented and organized, with a demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams, track open items, and close loops without being prompted.
• Agile and adaptable, with a proven ability to pivot quickly as priorities shift and new challenges arise.
• Curious and process-oriented mindset — someone who wants to understand how systems work and is motivated to improve them.
• Experience with CX or support platforms such as Gorgias, Zendesk, or similar tools.
• Strong analytical skills with experience tracking and reporting on key CX metrics such as CSAT, contact volume, first response time, and resolution time.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and collaborate across internal teams and external partners to drive operational excellence.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary point of contact for licensees onboarding to ABG's digital and CX ecosystem, building strong working relationships and ensuring alignment on brand standards, workflows, and operational expectations from day one.

• Monitor day-to-day CX operations across owned and operated DTC businesses, liaising with customer support agencies and external partners to ensure timely, high-quality resolution of customer inquiries and escalations.
• Identify operational gaps, system issues, and process breakdowns; take initiative to escalate, document, and drive resolution in partnership with cross-functional teams.
