Who Thrives Here
This is a role for someone who has done it before. The operation runs at the scale where every shift handover and every live event has consequences for real users, real clients, and real revenue. People who do this work well combine operational steadiness with calm authority — they know what they will accept and what they will not, and they make those judgements visible to the team.
A successful Head of Customer Service at Deltatre tends to be honest with clients (better to say what is possible than to oversell what is not), patient with people development (you are explicitly here to leave the team stronger), and protective of the team's focus when external pressure mounts. The work matters most at the moments when things are going wrong.
Process and what to expect
-
Introductory conversation: this is a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
-
1-hour Technical round of Interview: we will deep dive on your experience and collect examples of the responsibilities you’ve been dealing with in your past experience. It will be a chance do deep dive on the role and for you to ask questions.
-
1-hour Competency Based Interview: we are going to ask you some situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it!
