About Scentbird

Scentbird inspires fragrance lovers to go beyond the ordinary and sample scents that evoke passion, confidence, and the unknown. Our mission is to revolutionize the way we perfume by bringing the ultimate fragrance playground right to your fingertips and offering a digital subscription service that lets members choose from over 500+ designer perfumes each month.

About the Brands:

• Scentbird: The easiest way for fragrance lovers to discover, try, and buy their favorite scented products without a commitment
• Deck of Scarlet: Deck of Scarlet is on a mission to break the clean category, redefining what clean fragrances should smell like. Composed entirely of vegan, cruelty-free ingredients, our fragrances bridge the gap between the clean and luxury categories, using the highest eau de parfum concentrations housed in sculptural, eye-catching bottles. You shouldn’t have to choose between being luxe and refined, or clean and vegan—now, you don’t have to.
• Confessions Of A Rebel: We were born in 2018, holding fast to the idea that the fragrance industry was in dire need of a change. When we looked around, all we saw was a sea of sameness: outdated archetypes of femininity and masculinity paired with unrelatable images of luxury that we had no say in. In truth, we are complex in ways that cannot be contained in the traditional heteronormative stereotypes, existing beyond the binary with raw, unfiltered voices that deserve to be heard.
• Goodhabit: Enriched with a blend of essential oils, Goodhabit’s clean, vegan, cruelty-free fragrances act as bottled intentions you set free with each mist. Our scents are designed to help you align with the good habits you’re building, while working to enhance and boost your mood. Inhale, exhale, and let the good energy flow through you.
• Sanctuary: Created for those who care about the fate of our planets, Sanctuary offers fragrance for a better future. Our clean, community-driven fragrances are inspired by endangered species and their habitats, each aimed at raising money and awareness for the preservation of their namesake.
• Drift: Drift began as an alternative to all of the tacky air care products on the market. Our products are designed to blend in, with amazing scents that stand out. We take pride in our fragrances, keeping them free from the traditional chemicals used in the fragrance industry. We are always phthalate and paraben free. We never skimp on quality of our scents or the products that deliver them. Our design ethos is simple but effective. We love our community, those who won’t settle for ordinary, and we want to deliver a best in class experience.

Scentbird is committed to bringing individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives into the Nest. We strive to uphold an inclusive environment where individuals of all different backgrounds, ages, colors, ethnicities, gender, or gender identities, genetics, physical or mental abilities, protected veteran status, race, religious or sexual orientation, thrive. We respect the laws enforced by the EEOC and are dedicated internally to going above and beyond in fostering diversity. Come as you are - we’re excited to meet you.

Senior Manager, Customer Experience

Full-Time · Remote · Reports to Director of Customer Experience

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Customer Experience to lead our Tier I and Social Support operations across a globally distributed team of 35+ agents and 4 Team Leads. This role is for a self-sufficient, fast-moving operator who can manage a large team, drive automation across our CX tech stack, and protect brand trust in public-facing channels — all without needing hand-holding. You'll report to the Director of Customer Experience and serve as both an operational leader and a strategic partner across the business.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Team Leadership & Operations

• Lead and develop Team Leads and agents across Tier I email and Social Support globally
• Own CSAT, NPS, QA, First Response Time, Full Resolve Time, and productivity metrics
• Act as the primary escalation point for complex or high-risk customer issues
• Drive process improvements that improve both the customer and agent experience

• Manage vendor and recruiting partner relationships, including quality oversight and performance
• Own onboarding and training program development — not just coaching through leads, but building the curriculum
• Lead incident response during outages or fulfillment failures, coordinating cross-functional communication under pressure

Automation & Platform Ownership

• Be hands-on with our CX tech stack — able to get into backend systems, configure workflows, and build improvements directly
• Identify and implement automation opportunities to reduce manual work, improve routing, and free agents for high-complexity issues
• Partner with Product and Engineering on AI-assisted support tools, integrations, and workflow automation

• Own SOPs, macros, routing logic, and documentation within Kustomer and connected platforms
• Calibrate self-service and automation strategy to balance efficiency with CSAT outcomes

Social Support & Brand Protection

• Oversee Social Support across social channels, app stores, and public review platforms including BBB

• Be a true expert in social CX — fluent in platform-specific nuances, community management, and public de-escalation without sacrificing brand voice
• Monitor social sentiment proactively and surface emerging issues before they escalate
• Align with Marketing and Brand to ensure CX voice is consistent across every public-facing touchpoint

• Set and enforce response quality and brand standards across all public channels

Workforce Planning & Reporting

• Manage global workforce planning, shift scheduling, and coverage strategy for a US-demand-heavy operation
• Deliver weekly and monthly KPI reporting with clear context and actionable recommendations

• Lead change management across platform migrations and operational shifts — keeping team performance steady through transitions
• Analyze contact drivers and sentiment trends to surface retention risks and product insights cross-functionally

Voice of the Customer & Cross-Functional Work

• Partner with the Director of Customer Experience to deliver strategic, actionable insights that drive the Voice of the Customer across Product, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Legal
• Own Help Center and FAQ content, keeping it accurate and aligned with current policies and product changes

• Think beyond resolution — understand how support interactions affect retention and bring that lens to cross-functional conversations

WHAT WE’LL LOVE ABOUT YOU

• You're a self-starter who moves fast — you don't wait for perfect data or perfect process to take action
• You can manage a large, fast-paced team without losing quality or burning people out
• You treat Social Support as brand strategy, not just customer service

• You're genuinely excited about technology — you want to get into systems, understand how they work, and make them better

• You lead with clarity — your team knows what's expected and performs well under pressure

• You think about retention, not just resolution — you understand how support shapes whether a customer stays

• You communicate data with nuance — you know metrics don't always tell the full story and you frame that clearly for leadership

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT YOU

Experience

• 5–8+ years in Senior/Supervisory CX role, with 2–3+ years managing Team Leads or senior agents in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
• Experience across both high-volume transactional CX (email, chat) and public or social support channels
• Background in subscription or e-commerce with recurring billing complexity

• Demonstrated ability to drive automation and workflow improvements within a CX tech stack, not just oversee them

• Deep expertise in social CX, community management, and public escalation handling

• Strong analytical and reporting skills; able to contextualize data clearly for non-CX stakeholders
