- Acting as the strategic filter for the whole Gorgias organisation, you will own the strategy, alignment, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure that the communications delivered by various teams (such as Marketing, Sales, CS, and Partnerships) are aligned with customer needs and business goals
- You will take the 1000s of resources created by Gorgias and 10s of goals of the organisation and align them to the customer experience, need and lifecycle
- You will be the linchpin in campaign request management, capacity planning, process optimization, and cross-functional communication

- Own the quarterly communications calendar, and organize regular communication reviews with key stakeholders to align on goals, track progress, and identify areas for improvement
- Ensure all customer-facing messaging supports Gorgias’ brand voice and values while aligning with cross-functional business goals
- Removing blockers that prevent request completion and regularly communicate outward and upward on the state of the queue and progress towards our goals
- What you won’t have to do: Build or create the actual design / copy for messages
- Metrics You’ll Obsess Over:
- Emailable Database
- Messages per User over a Time Period
- Engagement Rates (Open Rate, Click Rate)
- SLA on Crisis Communications
Our take
With the surge in online shopping, eCommerce merchants are increasingly prioritizing customer communications to enhance the overall shopping experience. This heightened emphasis puts greater pressure on support teams to promptly and accurately address customer inquiries.
Gorgias offers an all-encompassing customer support helpdesk equipped with artificial intelligence tools tailored for customer service teams. The platform allows eCommerce businesses to streamline responses to frequently asked questions through a single application. By automating these responses, support agents can allocate more time to engaging in meaningful and profitable interactions with customers, thereby potentially driving sales.
Catering to over 10,000 stores, including prominent brands like Princess Polly, Steve Madden, and Marine Layer, Gorgias faces competition from established players like Zendesk, Freshdesk, and HelpScout. Despite this, the company has experienced notable growth, expanding its presence across the US, Europe, and Australia. Along with funding that will fuel the development of its Automation Add-on feature, aimed at providing customers with instant answers to alleviate support workload.
