Manager, Client Support, White Glove Services
The ultimate source for official answers about a business online should be the business itself. However, when consumers ask questions on company websites, too often they are left in the dark with wrong answers. Yext (NYSE: YEXT), the Search Experience Cloud, solves this problem by organizing a business's facts so it can provide official answers to consumer questions — wherever people search. Starting with the company website, then extending across search engines and voice assistants, businesses around the world, like Taco Bell, Marriott, and Jaguar Land Rover—as well as organizations like the U.S. State Department—trust Yext to radically improve the search experience on their websites and across the entire search ecosystem.
Yext is in the process of building a world-class, global Support organization and is looking for an experienced customer service Manager to help scale our White Glove Services organization in the United States. Yext’s White Glove Services offerings are designed for clients who want Yext to help their field users — such as franchisees, agents, advisors, or local managers — get the most out of Yext.
