Job Description

Customer Experience & Operations is critical for Whatnot’s rapid growth as support volume rose by 6x last year alone. Within CX, Seller-Provided Support (SPS) is the top priority: it builds seller ⇄ buyer trust and reduces one of our largest operating expenses — refunds. You will own scaling SPS to all Whatnot sellers, leading a full-stack team at the intersection of high business impact, technical complexity, and excellent product UX. Partnering closely with Product, Design, and platform teams, you’ll lead the design of scalable systems integrating with messaging, payments, and logistics, and build the intelligent tooling sellers need to resolve post-purchase issues. This role is end-to-end: you’ll own business outcomes, technical strategy, and execution to a cohesive UX experience. Success looks like wide SPS adoption, measurable refund rate reduction, strong CSAT, and a growing team delivering with speed and quality. This role can expand broadly across CX as we build a world-class, intelligent support platform for one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the US.

  • Product development leadership: Proven track record of building high-impact, end-to-end product experiences and scaling backend systems
  • Product instinct: Ability to translate strategic user and business problems into robust technical systems and delightful product experiences
  • Builder mindset: Able to act as the team’s technical lead when needed — lead system design, make pragmatic trade-offs, and drive holistic execution
  • Team leadership: Track record of growing engineering teams that deliver complex, large-scale products with speed and quality
  • Ownership & execution: Owns outcomes end-to-end, thrives in ambiguity, and unblocks the team across business, technical, and operational challenges
