About Marshmallow We build financial products that accelerate the economic freedom for people who move across borders. We started with car insurance — insuring over a million drivers — and we’re scaling beyond. Tens of millions of people move countries each year, facing overlooked financial challenges. Our future is in building financial products around their needs to positively impact their lives. How we work We’re really proud of the culture we’ve created. We push for progress every day, because we know that we’ll only hit big milestones by taking lots of smaller steps. We’re always open to helping our team mates, sharing our ideas, experience and knowledge to solve problems together. We take risks, think creatively and experiment relentlessly to meet our customer’s needs, and never pass blame when things go wrong. We encourage people at all levels to take ownership of their work, and to be bold in challenging how we do things. Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to make an impact.And autonomy and ownership are only possible with clear direction. That’s why we collaborate to do in-depth planning twice a year, and make sure we leave with clear goals and objectives that flow from top to bottom. To make sure we’re as aligned as possible across functions, most of our work rolls up into three tribes; Acquisition, Retention & Claims. Each tribe has multiple teams embedded in it, working cross-functionally to do great work. Why this Role matters As part of our Customer Operations team, you will be the primary contact for customers, delivering high-quality, personalized support across service, renewal, and upsell interactions. A comprehensive six-week training program—including shadowing, one-on-one coaching, and regular feedback—will equip you with the knowledge and confidence needed for long-term success. The role is focusing on building strong relationships, improving customer retention, and ensuring a smooth experience even in vulnerable or complex situations. With a deep understanding of tone of voice, empathy, and active listening, you will help shape the way we support our customers in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. You’ll use strong soft skills to support customers with complex needs, listening carefully and finding balanced solutions. While AI handles simple queries, you'll focus on personalised, human support—always putting the customer first.. The Customer Operations Team We have two key functions within Customer Operations: Customer Happiness (CH): Focused on delivering outstanding service at every interaction, resolving customer queries efficiently and creating upsell opportunities in service-led contacts.  Retention: Specialises in renewal and cancellation conversations, with a focus on reducing churn, increasing lifetime value, and driving renewal performance. Together, these teams represent the human face of Marshmallow’s brand and will be pivotal in adapting to a future-state model where AI handles the simple and humans elevate the complex.
