At Drift we are customer centric to our core. Fun fact, our logo is a group of people surrounding a customer. We believe in doing things that don’t scale and strive to provide an experience that is unparalleled in B2B SaaS each and every day.

We're looking for our first SF-based Customer Advocate who will use their passion for customer service and work closely with our Customer Success and Product teams to deliver the best support possible to our customers. You’re closest to the customer and interacting with them daily, so we’re leaning on you to identify and advocate for new features in our product.

What you’ll be doing on the Customer team at Drift:

  • Resolve customer concerns via chat with the highest level of consideration and efficiency
  • Identify and resolve customer issues and bugs, escalate to the appropriate team when necessary
  • Create and maintain our customer knowledge base
  • Work closely with an assigned Product team; participate weekly in team meetings and communicate the launch of new features and products
  • Advocate for features and improvements on behalf of the customer

About you and what type of skills you’ll need:

  • You have amazing customer service skills, and the ability to maintain focus on the customer and their needs in a fast-paced environment. You WANT to be there for them.
  • You naturally empathize with the customer and prioritize their needs
  • You’re comfortable with constant change, and can adapt to meet the demands of customers
  • You’re fascinated by technology and are always looking to learn and adapt to the latest trends
  • You’re a natural communicator - you’re comfortable speaking with customers via chat or phone as necessary
  • You can multitask in a high volume environment while maintaining a calm composure and organization

An Insider's view of Drift

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Drift is a digital first environment, which means employees’ primary work experience is remote and Drifters can collaborate in “Conversation Spaces.” This allows us to focus on outcomes rather than time spent in the office. If we're hitting our goals, you are free to work hours that suit you, wherever suits you. It allows for the ultimate balance.

Kaitlyn

Marketing

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I feel really lucky because I get to work with the Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Ops team on a regular basis. We say "One team, one dream" un-ironically and are always willing to hop into anything that benefits the customer.

Sara

Conversational Marketing Specialist

What makes someone successful on your team?

Our leadership principles are the core of who we are and how we operate every day. Bringing these in to your actions, decisions, and how you deliver results is the surest way to be successful here. Walk the talk. Focus on the customer. Deliver results every single day.

Brit

Director of Learning and Development

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Today, all of our lives run in real-time. As a result, our expectations for how we communicate with businesses have changed: we expect answers in real-time too. Customers have all of the power today, and that’s why we put a premium on how we’re treated. Businesses need to adapt to this shift in order to thrive today, and that’s what we focus on.

David

Executive Chairman, Co-Founder

What does your typical day look like?

While my days vary, it usually consists of connecting with customers to walk through their results and celebrate their wins, digging a bit deeper into what’s going on at their organization, and delivering recommendations on how they can achieve greater results. I also connect with Product to share what our customers are saying to help improve Drift

Customer Success Manager
