Why This Role Matters

As Wati continues to grow rapidly, our customer support operations must evolve just as fast. This role is critical in ensuring that our support teams have the right tools, processes, and insights to operate efficiently and deliver world-class service at scale. You’ll work cross-functionally across support, product, and business teams to implement impactful improvements, identify inefficiencies, and drive innovation through AI-powered solutions and automation.

Please note: This is not a typical 9–5 role.

We work across global time zones, so flexibility is essential. You’ll be expected to deliver results, which may require occasional overtime or working outside regular hours. If you’re outcome-driven and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.
