We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It's a unique moment to join us. We're building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we're looking for a leader who is excited to help shape what world-class partner support looks like in the wellness category. ABOUT THE ROLE Arketa is hiring a Manager of Customer Care to be a first-line manager inside our Customer Care function. Reporting to the Director of Customer Care, you’ll own a team of CSRs and Senior CSRs (target 12:1 ratio) and be accountable for their development, their performance, and the health of the omni-channel queue they staff. This is a people-first role — your scorecard is your team’s growth, retention, and the partner outcomes your team produces, not your personal queue throughput. If you light up when the people you manage grow into the next thing, this role is built for you. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Manage a team of CSRs and Senior CSRs. Run weekly 1:1s.

Adjust staffing and routing in partnership with the other Manager of Customer Care and the Director - Develop people. Build career paths into the Senior CSR track, into the Manager of Customer Care seat, and beyond. Identify high-potential teammates early - Hire. Partner with the Director and recruiting to bring in CSRs and Senior CSRs as the team grows - Be a culture ambassador. Set the bar for how Arketa treats its partners and how Arketa treats its own team - Partner with Product, Engineering, and the broader CX organization to surface patterns from your team’s queue and influence the partner experience beyond the ticket WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: - 3+ years managing individual contributors in a CX, support, or contact-center environment - Fluency with CX metrics — TFR, TRES, ASA, CSAT — and a track record of using them to coach, not just to report - Experience hiring, coaching, and retaining frontline support talent - Comfort with an omni-channel queue (chat, email, Zoom) - Strong written communication and the ability to give feedback that lands - Sharp judgment and the ability to make calls in real time, balancing partner advocacy with business priorities - Familiarity with Intercom, Notion, Slack, and Google Suite - SaaS or SMB-serving environment experience is a plus - Direct experience working behind the desk of a wellness business (yoga, pilates, bootcamp, barre, or similar) is a plus - Bachelor’s degree preferred, not required What We Offer: - Ownership and Opportunity for Advancement - Competitive Salary and Stock Options - Unlimited PTO: our policy is designed to give you the flexibility to rest, recharge, and take care of personal needs — while staying aligned with your team and responsibilities. - Medical, dental and vision health insurance - Fitness Class Reimbursement: we’re committed to supporting both employee wellness and our industry relationships. As an Arketa employee we see movement as opportunity. - Parental Leave Policy For this role, the estimated annual base salary is up to $80,000- $135,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
