Join us as a Zendesk Administrator to scale and optimise Qonto's Zendesk ecosystem — the platform used daily by operations teams across 8 European markets. You'll strengthen governance, improve architecture, and ensure the system supports Qonto's growth. You will work closely with Marie, Head of Operations Enablement, and Karim, Ops Tool Manager, within a team of ~20 people focused on making operations scalable and efficient.

➡️ What you'll do

• Strengthen Zendesk governance: Improve access management, configuration standards, and operational best practices across the platform.
• Optimise and scale the architecture: Workflows, automations, triggers, ticket routing, SLAs, and multi-team processes — ensure the system keeps pace with Qonto's growth.
• Partner cross-functionally: Work with Customer Care, Onboarding, Operations Engineering, Product, and Tech to deliver scalable support solutions.
• Manage integrations and the Zendesk roadmap: Prioritise improvements, manage third-party tool integrations, and collaborate with Engineering to ensure long-term scalability and reliability.
• Identify and drive improvements: Continuously find opportunities to improve processes, user experience, and operational efficiency within the Zendesk ecosystem.

➡️ What we're looking for

• Strong Zendesk administration experience: Hands-on experience in a complex, fast-paced environment. You've managed workflows, automations, and architecture at scale. Zendesk certification is a plus.
• Governance and reliability mindset: You bring structure around security, access management, and operational standards. You don't just configure — you build systems that hold.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You communicate clearly and adapt your message to different audiences.
• Continuous improvement drive: You proactively spot inefficiencies and fix them. You manage multiple priorities without losing quality.
• Languages: Fluent in English. French is a plus.

➡️ What we can offer you

• A strategic platform at European scale: Zendesk is the backbone of Qonto's operations across multiple markets. What you build and optimise directly impacts how hundreds of agents serve 600,000+ customers.
• Broad scope beyond Zendesk: Opportunities to contribute to wider operational tooling and enablement initiatives over time — you won't be siloed in a single tool.
• A multi-skilled team: You'll work alongside other tooling managers, Ops Engineers, and enablement specialists — people who understand the technical and operational sides equally.
• Autonomy with support: Leadership focused on letting you own your scope, with collaboration and knowledge sharing as the default.

➡️ Your future managers
