CX Team Lead
SeatGeek's customer base-and our Customer Experience (CX) team-are rapidly growing. As the voice of SeatGeek to our customers, our CX team is dedicated to providing ridiculously good experiences.
Amidst our growth, and as we onboard a significant number of new Event Experts, we're looking to bulk up our group of Team Leads. You'll join a veteran, proud and effective CX leadership group and have a chance to let your people management and general leadership skills shine, while helping to shape the direction of one of the largest and fastest-growing teams in the company.
What you'll do
Your two core focuses will be in people management and CX shift management. You'll also have the opportunity to take on additional projects and areas of focus over time (or continue with existing additional projects and areas of focus as the case may be). And you'll have the opportunity to join a number of strategic discussions with fellow CX leadership and generally receive a good amount of training and mentorship when it comes to people management, CX scaling, general leadership, business strategy and more.
Specific responsibilities will include:
- Managing CX Event Experts
- Providing general leadership, mentorship, advocacy
- Performance management, including positive and critical feedback
- Executing regularly occurring 1 on 1 meetings, in addition to more occasional reviews (annual, 360, etc.)

- Generally managing the shift
- In-office or logged in on-time, every time
- Answering questions from the group

- Team policies and procedures
- Most effective communication and people management practices on the team
- And more!
- Be an effective cross-department collaborator and communicator
- Take on important projects for the team, in conjunction with your direct manager and other members of CX leadership
- Embody the fan-first, enthusiastic, proud, resilient spirit of the CX team; lead by example!
