Lead Customer Care
Who We Are
Zefir is building an AI-transaction layer for home sales in Europe, starting in France: an AI agent runs the entire sale and purchase journey end-to-end, orchestrating local brokers, portals, buyers, and documents.
Backed by over $55 million from top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital, we're committed to accelerating life changes for millions of current and future European homeowners.
About the Team
Our Customer Care Team is the frontline of our mission to accelerate life changes in real estate, composed of customer care and customer operations. Customer Care regroups customer-facing activities (solving issues and concerns raised by Zefir sellers and partner real-estate agents) while Customer Operations regroup back-office tasks to smoothen mandate management and internal operations.
We're rebuilding the function from the ground up, to turn Zefir customer experience into a competitive advantage, where fast response times, high CSAT, and collaboration with Sales, Ops, and Product drive growth.
As our first Customer Care Lead, you'll shape the team structure (Customer Care + Customer Operations), processes, tools, and culture. You will report to Zefir Operations Lead.
