The job

Start working for a Bulgarian fast-growing e-commerce group. They are running 20+ online stores across fashion and non-fashion categories. Their customer service is AI-first: their own AI agent resolves the majority of customer contacts, and a lean human team handles the rest and makes the system better every week. They run customer service like a product: they measure everything, test ideas and act on data.

Now they are building a customer service team in the Sofia office, and you will be the first hire. You start hands-on: handling customer cases yourself and learning our stores, processes and AI setup inside out. From there, you are fully responsible for the team: you build it, manage it and push it forward as it grows to 15+ agents. That includes basic HR, from recruitment and onboarding to performance management. You also own the numbers that show customer service is working.

Within this job there will be 2 phases, with each their own responsibilities and tasks:

Phase 1 - Hands-on (first months)

• Handle customer cases end-to-end, especially the ones our AI agent can't resolve: delivery issues,
  returns, refunds and payment disputes

• Review AI conversations daily, spot errors and feed improvements into prompts, templates and
  workflows

• Document processes and SOPs the future team will run on

• Map ticket volumes and contact reasons to build the hiring plan

Phase 2 - Build, manage and grow the team (to 15+ agents)

• Recruit, onboard and train agents

• Handle basic HR for the team: contracts, leave and absence, and HR documentation

• Set targets, coach, and manage performance, including exits

• Plan staffing and schedules against ticket volume

• Report weekly on KPIs: first response time, resolution time, CSAT, QA score, refund rate, dispute rate
  and cost per order

• Find root causes of recurring contacts and push fixes to the teams that own them

We offer

• Full-time contract in Sofia, Bulgaria

• Work on-site from the office in Sofia

• Competitive salary

• The chance to build a team from zero to 15+ and shape how it works

• Holidays according to the Bulgarian law
