Your Mission
Customer Operationsat Ben is the foundation of our customer, product and internal operations. As a Senior Customer Operations Executive, you will work closely with our newest customers and benefit providers, ensuring the way we integrate and work with these parties is streamlined and as efficient as possible. The operations team are at the heart of Ben, making sure the trains run on time, as well as identifying opportunities for continuous improvement as we scale. As a growing company, this role requires flexibility, curiosity, and a willingness to take ownership of new challenges as our processes, products, and partnerships evolve.
What you’ll be working on
Process improvement and cross functional initiatives
Own the identification, prioritisation, and delivery of improvements to operational processes across provider onboarding, fulfilment, audits, and ongoing data exchange with partners, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency as Ben grows.
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, TAMs, CSMs, and Support to deliver cross functional initiatives, including audit readiness during launches and renewals, operational support for new product features, and the rollout of new tools or workflows.
Act as an operational voice in cross functional discussions, helping shape how Customer Operations scales and evolves, not just executing existing processes but actively influencing future ways of working.
Take end to end ownership of defined improvement initiatives, from problem definition and stakeholder alignment through to delivery, documentation, and ongoing iteration.
Operational support
Proactively shift focus during quieter onboarding cycles to high impact internal work that increases long term team capacity, such as audit execution, data quality reviews, operational cleanups, automation initiatives, and reduction of technical or operational debt.
Own the management and resolution of backlogs across operational systems such as Jira and Zendesk, improving response times, clarity, and overall operational hygiene.
Provide hands-on support to the wider Operations team, unblocking issues, resolving provider queries, and stepping in where additional capacity or experience is required.
Ad hoc investigations and stakeholder support
Lead complex operational, data, or provider related investigations, working directly with external partners and internal stakeholders to identify root causes, define corrective actions, and drive issues through to resolution.
Act as a point of escalation for urgent or ambiguous operational issues, coordinating across teams to ensure clear ownership, timely resolution, and minimal customer or provider impact.
Communicate clearly and confidently with both external partners and internal stakeholders, providing structured updates, clear recommendations, and documented outcomes.

You will not love this role if you…
Prefer a slow or highly predictable pace we move quickly and value action
Feel uncomfortable owning projects end-to-end and being accountable for outcomes
Prefer maintaining the status quo we challenge assumptions and improve constantly
Want a heavily structured environment we’re still building processes as we grow
Struggle with ambiguity or prefer prescriptive direction you’ll get context, but you’ll need to figure things out
Wait for others to take initiative this is a proactive, high-performance team
