Customer Service Manager
FlavorCloud
FlavorCloud is hiring a Customer Support Leader to help us build a support function that doesn’t just resolve issues—it prevents them. We provide a managed cross-border shipping service for ecommerce brands, and our support team is a critical part of our operational success.
In this role, you’ll be a hands-on expert contributor while also taking responsibility for team performance, process improvement, and operational readiness. You’ll dive deep into complex cases (customs holds, returns-to-sender, failed deliveries, Shopify integration issues), while also designing workflows that proactively flag and resolve issues before they become problems.
You should have deep empathy, sharp logistics instincts, and a background in 3PL, shipping operations, or ecommerce fulfillment. And you’ll need to think beyond the support queue—this role is equal parts support expert, process owner, and operational problem-solver.
