Overview

We’re looking for a Customer Operations Assistant to own day-to-day customer operations: primarily inbox management, subscriber support, and logistics for our annual NYC conference. This role is ideal for someone who is extremely detail-oriented, self-directed, and energized by keeping systems running smoothly.

You’ll keep the inbox under control, maintain clean tracking systems, and help execute our fall conference.

Key Responsibilities

Inbox ownership + customer support

> Own a shared inbox: triage incoming messages, draft responses in our voice, and ensure timely follow-ups

> Maintain a clean queue with clear status tracking so nothing falls through the cracks

Subscriber operations (billing, renewals, and access support)

> Assist with invoicing and renewals coordination

> Support subscription setup and troubleshooting

> Keep internal trackers accurate and up to date

Conference + event planning support

> Support planning and execution for our annual fall conference in NYC and related events/webinars

> Coordinate speaker and sponsor logistics (calendar coordination, materials tracking, deliverables checklists)

> Help manage vendors and day-of operations prep

> Travel to NYC for on-site support during the conference (travel and accommodation covered)

Mailchimp audience organization

> Maintain Mailchimp audiences: tags/segments, list hygiene, basic troubleshooting

> Support campaign coordination as needed (links, lists, send-checks)

What Success Looks Like (First 30–60 Days)

> Inbox is organized, responsive, and consistently “under control”

> Follow-ups happen without reminders; customers get clear, helpful replies

> Renewals/invoicing tracking is accurate and up to date; discrepancies get flagged early

> Event planning tasks are tracked in one place with clear owners, deadlines, and status

> You’ve integrated into our workflows and communicate proactively

You’re a Great Fit If You…

> Are exceptionally detail-oriented (names, dates, invoice terms, access issues, event logistics)

> Write clearly and professionally, you’ll communicate directly with customers in our voice

> Thrive working independently and take ownership of queues and task boards

> Love systems and checklists; you keep operations tidy without being asked

> Escalate intelligently: when something’s unclear, you ask the right questions and propose solutions

> Are comfortable traveling to NYC for our fall conference (typically 2–3 days on-site)

Required Skills & Tools

> Google Workspace, especially Sheets (trackers, status updates, renewals coordination)

> Project/task tracking tools

> Clear, professional written communication

> Strong customer support instincts (responsive, helpful, good judgment)

> Ability to maintain clean, organized systems

Nice to Have (Not Required)

> Mailchimp experience (audiences, tags/segments, list hygiene)

> QuickBooks familiarity (invoicing support, basic billing coordination)

> Experience supporting events (timelines, logistics, speaker/vendor coordination)
