ParcelHero is seeking a Customer Service Manager to lead a remote team of 50, focusing on enhancing customer experience and service quality. This role involves managing team leaders, driving cross-departmental collaboration, analyzing customer feedback, and improving key service metrics. The ideal candidate will be a decisive problem-solver with strong leadership and communication skills, passionate about process improvement and automation in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
ParcelHero is one of the UK's biggest parcel delivery price comparison sites, with over 5 million visitors a year. We're a scaling, technology-focused business with 120 remote staff worldwide - and we're growing fast, expanding internationally into the US and Europe this year.
We serve both consumers and businesses in an almost 50/50 split, and our move into SaaS is shifting that mix further towards larger businesses and, ultimately, enterprise customers. In 2026, we launched our cutting-edge TMS (Transport Management Solution), Parcelhero Pro, enabling retailers to pay a monthly subscription to ship on their own carrier accounts and manage every aspect of their logistics through our platform.
We're a highly innovative company, deeply focused on optimisation, automation, and continuous process improvement. Joining now means being part of the journey - helping shape our technology, our processes, and our approach as we scale globally.
We're also a remote-first business: no commute, no office politics, just great work with talented colleagues around the world.
Are you passionate about improving the customer experience? Does coordinating across teams, countries, and time zones excite you? Parcelhero is looking for an experienced Customer Service Manager to lead our team leaders and 50-strong remote team, drive quality of service, and elevate the experience for both our consumer and business customers as we expand internationally.
This is a high-pace, high-pressure environment. You'll need to be decisive, sharp, and comfortable making fast, sound judgement calls while managing competing priorities across departments and time zones. As our customer base shifts towards larger business and enterprise customers, you'll help evolve our service to meet their expectations.
You will be responsible for driving cross-department collaboration between the customer service, customer experience, and QA teams - working closely with them to optimise processes and continuously improve the customer experience as we scale.
Team Leadership: Manage and develop a team of team leaders overseeing a 50-strong remote customer service team, setting clear performance expectations and fostering high performance under pressure.

Service Innovation: Identify opportunities to introduce new services, tools, or processes that enhance the customer experience, working with the relevant teams to bring them to life.

Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills for both internal team management and external customer interactions.
Organisational Skills: Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Data-Driven: Strong analytical skills, with experience monitoring performance metrics and using data to drive improvements.
Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with customer service software (e.g., Zendesk, Salesforce) and parcel tracking systems.
