Full Job Description
Location: NYC (in office 3 days per week)

You'll build Trove's support function from the ground up: the tooling, workflows, automations, and the real relationships we build with our customers. This is a role for hands-on solutioning, not just a queue to manage or a position where you flag problems and pass them to someone else. The right person has built operations, trust and safety, or concierge services somewhere the stakes were high (like premium e-commerce, fintech, or a marketplace). Your mission is simple: every customer should walk away from support exchanges feeling more confident about the brand, their experience, and the collection they're building. You get there by fixing the root of the issue and building repeatable systems that keep it from coming back.

You'll be an army of one for the foreseeable future, which means you'll reach for tooling and automation before adding new headcount. Working directly alongside the founders and technical/GTM teams, you'll design workflows, escalation paths, and quality standards that start simple and hold up as the company scales.

On any given week, you might:
  • Build AI-driven automations that resolve issues before they ever reach a person
  • Get to the root cause of recurring problems and partner with other teams to remove the friction for good
  • Personally handle high value and edge case situations, never dismissing a concern until it's fully resolved
  • Turn support insights into prioritized product, operations, and engineering improvements
  • Design reporting that shows what's driving volume and where the experience breaks
  • Build the trust and safety practices that protect a high-value collectibles marketplace
  • Move quickly, sweat the details, and leave every customer more confident than they were before
  • Make thoughtful tradeoffs, take real ownership, and have fun doing it


You have experience and success in these areas:
  • 5+ years building and running support or operations for a B2C business
  • Standing up a support function from zero, reaching for tooling and automation before headcount
  • Designing support systems that start simple and scale without breaking
  • Deep experience using AI tooling to build automations
  • Working technically and analytically, comfortable diving into the data on your own
  • Building operations, trust and safety, or concierge services for a high-volume consumer business
  • A genuine understanding of the psychology of a collector, ideally because you are one


What success looks like:
  • Customers increasingly build their collections on Trove
  • Customers never need to contact support twice for the same issue
  • Product, operations, and engineering actively use support insights to prioritize what they build
  • High-value customers know real people at Trove and feel taken care of
  • Most support volume comes from growth, not preventable mistakes

Beyond that, we offer highly competitive comp, free health insurance, flexible time off, and meaningful equity so you'll share in the company's success. The team is headquartered in NYC and hiring for flexible in-person work.
