User Operations Associate

The Role

You'll be an early member of a critical area for our business: customer success (CX). For us, CX means helping clients (and their clients) use our product, as well as handling operational tasks behind the scenes. You'll work closely with the Engineering, Product, and Sales teams. Your role will be very hands-on. You'll use data and user research to set strategies and drive decisions about service levels. You and the team will:

• Conduct live tutorials to onboard new clients.
• Execute external-facing and financial operations, such as reviewing payment instructions with error flags, provisioning new client accounts, and configuring specialized features for power users.
• Analyze user outcomes and investigate recurrent problems, working with the product team to propose and implement solutions.
• Communicate with users and help resolve advanced questions.
• Create internal and external documentation, including operating guides, tutorials, and knowledge bases.
• Contribute to the product roadmap and strategy, based on product usage data, user feedback, and your knowledge of user needs.

This is a great role for someone who is analytically and verbally rigorous but hasn't yet worked at a technology company — or someone who has operating experience in a tech company and wants to learn about a new problem and new technology.

You'll be part of our early team, and we will be correspondingly committed to your development. Strong performers in this role will have the opportunity to influence and shape the team as it scales, or expand into other roles within the company (for example, supporting product development or business strategy).

About You

This role requires a mix of talents that are not usually found in the same person. You instantly notice numerical errors, typos, and grammar mistakes, and they bother you. In other words, you are fanatically attentive to numerical and verbal detail. You can read or hear a confused description from someone and extract their meaning, and respond in a way that is clear and concise. Among your friends, you are the do-er, the organizer, the one who is depended upon to get things done. Also:

• You have some work experience in operations, ideally financial operations (for example, in banking, venture capital, or accounting), or enterprise customer success. That said, we are much more interested in potential than prior experience.
• You are passionate about fixing a widespread societal problem.
• You have a bachelor’s degree (in any subject), though this is not required. If you do have a degree, you did well in it with a strong GPA.
