In your full-time role as a Customer Experience Executive, you will work closely alongside our Fulfilment Manager to deliver an exceptional customer experience across our Formula 1 driver brands.
This is a role for someone who genuinely cares about getting things right for the customer. You'll be the first point of contact for fans and shoppers, handling enquiries across our D2C ecommerce operation - from order queries and returns to product advice and brand-specific questions.
You'll take ownership of our FAQ, keep our help content sharp and up to date, and play a key role in building the systems and processes that underpin a great customer experience. As you grow into the role, the expectation is for you to bring ideas, improve what we do, and raise the bar on the quality of support we deliver.
We're a small team, so it's essential that you're self-motivated, detail-oriented and comfortable working at pace. You'll need to be someone who takes real pride in every interaction - because for many of our customers, this is their direct connection to their favourite driver.
We are wearegrip, a London-based creative studio who work with some of the most exciting drivers in F1. Our goal is to build the most distinctive personal brands in sport that capture the attention of fans, teams, and brands around the world.
Working hand-in-hand with each driver, we create and manage their personal brand across social media, branding, marketing, merchandise, content creation, digital, and more. When you join wearegrip, you’ll be working at the heart of our multi-skilled, fast-paced start-up and immediately have the opportunity to begin shaping your future within our highly motivated and passionate team.
