Customer Support & Operations Associate

Company Overview

We’re on a mission to revolutionise homeownership by building an AI-powered PropTech platform that makes managing a home effortless.

Homeownership should be simple, but today it’s anything but. From handling maintenance and repairs to finding the right service providers and staying on top of admin, managing a home is fragmented, time-consuming and inefficient.

We believe there’s a better way.

Our platform combines automation, expert guidance and seamless access to trusted services. By leveraging AI and proprietary home data, we’re redefining how homes are managed. What was once a reactive process becomes proactive, intelligent and stress-free.

We’re VC-backed and building the foundation for a scalable, AI-native platform that will transform home management.

Position Overview

As a Customer Support & Operations Associate, you will play a key role in ensuring a smooth and trusted experience for both homeowners and service providers using the Hey Alfie platform.

You’ll handle customer queries, help coordinate quotes and bookings, and maintain accurate records in our systems. You’ll work closely with the wider team, taking ownership of workflows while escalating more complex issues.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is hardworking, empathetic and organised. You should be comfortable communicating via phone, email and WhatsApp, and making regular outbound phone calls to both homeowners and service providers, keeping momentum on cases and ensuring tasks move forward without delay. This role is well-suited to someone with experience in customer support or service operations who is ready to step into a fast-paced, growing startup and develop further.

If you\'re excited about helping build a category-defining PropTech startup, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Proactively manage cases to ensure all parties are kept informed and satisfied with the service outcome.

  • Take ownership of routine cases, escalating complex or sensitive issues to the wider team.
  • Gather feedback from users and providers to share with the team.
  • Contribute to improving internal workflows and adopting new tools as we scale.

Requirements
