The Customer Operations team’s goal is to improve our customer experience. We do this, for example, by improving operational efficiency for our brands through automating periodic and manual tasks using SQL and machine learning.
Additionally, we investigate systemic complex issues, create automated processes for them and develop recommendations for the product and tech teams to integrate them into the Hive App.

  • Get stuck into the analysis of Hive’s processes to identify improvement opportunities
  • Close cooperation with the Product, Tech, and Fulfillment Teams to problem-solve issues, identify patterns, build business cases, and prioritize them, ensuring our customers have a smooth resolution
  • A high degree of responsibility for your projects, owning your results, deliverables, and their successful implementation
  • Hone in on a range of skills that make you a generalist: project management, analytics, stakeholder management, problem-solving
If this role gets you excited, please apply with a cover letter detailing a time you used machine learning to improve a process!
