Customer Service Manager

Fresh Prints is a New York-based custom apparel start-up. We find incredible students and give them the training and support to build the business at their schools.

The customer service team communicates directly with clients to connect them with sales people and/or enable their experience with our Design Tool and self-checkout.

• How do we build a team that drives the business forward?
• How do we give clients an industry leading experience?
• How do you most efficiently manage incoming requests from clients and make sure our teams are set up to handle these requests with excellence?
  
  

As a member of the Customer Experience leadership team, you'll be a driving force behind moving our Customer Experience team forward.
