Customer Experience Manager

Why Hover wants you

We care deeply about delivering an exceptional customer experience. While our product is built to be intuitive and self-service-friendly, we are equally committed to engaging directly with our users to ensure they thrive. Our Customer Experience team is a real differentiator in our space, and we hear constantly from our users how grateful they are for the personalized and earnest help we provide. Our team brings empathy and attention to detail to every customer interaction, and this position requires strong critical thinking, communication, and technical troubleshooting skills. You will become a subject matter expert in both our Product and our Customers, and your mission is to engage them directly to help them have the best experience possible.

You will contribute by

• Working with customers (especially small business customers who are self-serve, rather than buying contracts through our sales team) to help them thrive using the Hover platform, ranging from delivering product demos to strategizing their internal team rollout to gathering and distilling product feedback to share internally and influence our roadmaps
• Proposing and then leading internal projects to improve the customer experience, ranging from internal tool adjustments to research efforts
• Being an expert of our small business / self service customer personas, their business needs, what they care about, etc. You will spend the majority of your time talking to Contractors and Insurance Adjusters who are using Hover in their daily work.
• Being an expert of our product and platform, running demos end to end and knowing all of the tips and tricks to help customers understand our nuanced offerings and get the most value
• Actively listening and synthesizing customer feedback and issues so that you can guide them towards resolution, investigate internally what is happening, and ultimately advocate for improvements internally with Product and other teams
• Leveraging AI tools and automation to help streamline workflows, improve documentation, and identify opportunities to make customer guidance and outreach more efficient.
