Description de la mission

🏠 What We Do

Founded in 2021 with the ambition to make cities cleaner and quieter, Electra is accelerating the shift to electric mobility by tackling the main barrier: charging. We are building and operating a network of fast-charging stations (20 minutes on average) with a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Based in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Brussels, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Amsterdam, our teams aim to deploy 15,000 fast-charging points by 2030, contributing to Europe’s energy transition.

In just 5 years, we have:
  • Deployed +690 stations and 2,000+ fast-charging points

  • Opened offices in several European countries

  • Raised over €1B from leading investors and institutions

  • Joined French Tech Next40 and won European Scale-up of the Year 2024

  • Grown to a team of 250+ talented people… and we’re just getting started!

💼 Your Mission

The Head of Customer Care is a leadership role reporting directly to the VP Operations. This position owns the end-to-end customer care delivery: day-to-day service excellence, team and BPO management, quality standards, and cross-functional influence. The Head of Customer Care is expected to bring a sharp AI vision, strong data orientation, and a genuine appetite for operational innovation, working hand in hand with internal teams to continuously raise the bar.

We're looking for someone who brings both operational discipline and a genuine appetite for transformation. You'll know how to run a tight operation today while pushing hard on what tomorrow should look like.

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ Your Responsibilities

1. Customer Care Leadership
  • Own end-to-end service delivery across all channels (phone, email, app..)

  • Define and enforce quality standards, SLAs, and escalation processes

  • Lead the BPO relationship strategically: governance, performance management, contract optimization, and continuous improvement

  • Manage and develop the internal Customer Care team

2. AI, Data & Performance
  • Be the primary champion of AI within the care function: bring a clear, concrete vision of where AI can genuinely move the needle, and make the case for it with rigor

  • Proactively identify high-impact use cases (automated resolution, smart routing, agent assist, predictive issue detection), push for their prioritization, and drive adoption within your team

  • Stay ahead of what's happening in AI-powered customer service and bring relevant ideas to the table before you're asked

  • Work closely with internal teams (data, analytics, and cross-functional partners) to co-define requirements, contribute to pilots, and ensure successful deployment at scale

  • Own the performance framework: define, track, and report on core metrics including resolution rate, cost per contact, CSAT, first-contact resolution, and deflection rate

  • Build a genuine culture of data literacy in your team; use data to diagnose problems, prioritize actions, and demonstrate impact, not just to report what happened

3. Cross-Functional Leadership & Transformation
  • Be the voice of customer care in strategic conversations with Product, Country GMs, and senior leadership; build trusted relationships that unlock structural improvements, not just reactive fixes

  • Actively contribute to cross-functional initiatives aimed at improving the driver experience end-to-end

  • Surface operational pain points, bring field expertise to transformation efforts, and ensure solutions land properly within your team

  • Be a key contributor to the core objective: decoupling contact volume growth from headcount and cost growth

4. Business & Cost Ownership
  • Own the customer care budget: staffing, BPO costs, tooling, and transformation investments

  • Track and report on the financial performance of the function; maintain a clear cost/quality/efficiency balance at all times

  • Anticipate cost pressures linked to network growth and come with mitigation plans, not just the problem

  • Hold yourself accountable for financial outcomes, not just service metrics

😎 Your Profile

Experience
  • 5-7 years in customer operations or customer care, with at least 3 years in a leadership role

  • Proven track record managing BPO or outsourced service delivery at scale

  • Experience in a high-growth or scale-up environment is a strong plus

  • Hands-on exposure to AI or automation tools in a customer service context is a strong plus

Skills & Competencies
  • Strategic thinker who can translate vision into execution, without losing sight of the details that matter

  • Genuinely data-driven: you use data to make decisions, not just to report what happened

  • Clear and informed perspective on AI in customer operations; you can make a concrete case, not just a theoretical one

  • Strong business acumen: comfortable with budgets, cost/benefit logic, and holding yourself accountable to financial outcomes

  • Proactive, high-ownership communicator

  • Fluent in French and English; other European languages are a plus

Mindset
  • You don't wait to be asked. You spot what needs to happen, and you make it happen.

  • You see AI as a real lever to transform operations, and you know how to make the case for it concretely.

  • You're as comfortable in a spreadsheet or a dashboard as you are in a leadership meeting.

  • You hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just activities.

  • You build for scale, not just for today.
