What the job involves
- WeWork’s Service & Experience Support team is on the lookout for a Support Specialist (Tier 2)
- Based in WeWork’s Miami HQ, you’ll be passionate about exceptional service and thrive in a multifaceted role and fast-paced environment
- You’ll not only be a point of escalation for the most challenging issues but also be proactive in preventing these issues at source through continuous improvement and knowledge sharing
- As an expert troubleshooter, you’ll respond to incoming interactions across multiple channels including ticketing systems (Salesforce Service Cloud), phone calls, live chat, and social media
- When you’re not directly supporting our Members you’ll be supporting projects and initiatives that elevate our service quality & efficiency
- You’ll already have or develop exceptional knowledge of the WeWork brand and service in each territory we operate in
- Quick thinking and top communication skills will be critical to your success
- You’ll have no problem stepping in and delivering or arranging (in collaboration with in-building teams) ‘service recovery’ that could make a massive difference to our reputation and to our Members’ experience when we haven’t got something right
- You’ll also add to the business's growing ‘voice of the customer’, delivering actionable Member insights to the wider Member Experience team to drive down customer effort and increase customer satisfaction
- Handling Escalations: own and handle end to end escalated calls, support requests, and feedback from Members across Tier 2
- Provide expert technical support and troubleshooting to members experiencing issues with our digital products. This includes investigating and resolving problems related to the WeWork website, mobile app, and account management platforms. You will analyze member requests, identify root causes, and guide members towards effective solutions
- Process manual contracts (move-ins, transfers, renewals, add-ons, etc.)
- Review and adjust inventory and office information, including pricing, capacity, and new office creation
- Ensuring high levels of attention to detail and providing accurate information, to minimise the need for the Member to contact us again
- Collaboration: able to work independently and collaboratively, manage own workload, and remain calm and organised under pressure. Partner with in-building and engineering teams to ensure members’ requests are being resolved within agreed SLAs
- Provide WeWork members and employees with exceptional service by understanding their requests and offering accurate, thoughtful, and timely solutions
- Support the creation of documentation in our knowledge base to constantly improve our services and processes
- Engage and partner with cross-functional departments such as Billing, Facilities, Security, Applications, Engineering, Information Security, Governance & Compliance, and Building Technology where support interactions require additional team collaboration to solve
- Prioritise and quickly resolve urgent and VIP member and employee interactions & questions that have been escalated from the Tier 1 or WeWork Leadership to deliver effective service recovery
Our take
WeWork is a commercial real estate company that pioneered the shared workspace market, providing spaces for anyone from freelancers to Fortune 500s. Traditional leases typically require businesses to commit to an office for 5-10 years, whilst WeWork allows its members to scale up from a single hot desk to a private office or custom-built suite, depending on their needs.
WeWork has hundreds of locations across the globe, with hundreds of thousands of members. While its initial rapid growth and dominance in key global hubs was impressive, it has since had to scale back and strategically re-align itself in an unstable economic climate.
There is certainly still potential for WeWork to see renewed growth and success, especially as remote and hybrid working continues to be popular. That said, observers will have to wait to see the eventual affect of its restructuring - and only time will tell what the company's future looks like.
