Responsibilities

• Be the Single-Threaded Owner: Own all outcomes across social and review platforms end-to-end. You’re accountable for coverage, response quality, resolution rates, and the KPIs that prove we’re showing up the way our customers deserve.
• Build and Lead a High-Performance Team: Coach, develop, and inspire a nimble team of 2-3 Social Media Experience Specialists. Set clear expectations, hold the bar high, and build a culture where the team is proud of the work they do publicly every day.
• Drive SLA Accountability: Set response time and resolution targets by platform and severity, track performance against them in real time, and lead the team to hit them consistently.
• Align Brand, PR, and CX: Serve as the connective tissue between Customer Experience, Brand, and PR. Partner with the Brand Manager on tone and voice standards, escalate high-risk situations to PR and Legal with urgency and context, and ensure every touchpoint feels unmistakably Carvana.
• Own the Tooling and Listening Infrastructure: Maximize what we get out of current AI listening tools (Sprout and beyond), identify gaps, and partner with Customer Experience Operations and Tech on the roadmap toward an in-house AI monitoring solution.
• Amply the Good: Positive engagement is a strategy, not an afterthought. Partner with Brand to identify and amplify strong customer moments, build advocacy at scale, and make sure we’re showing up just as intentionally for celebrations as we are for complaints.
• Shake Things Up for the Better: Challenge the status quo. Partner across the company to evolve our playbooks, improve our tooling, and find smarter ways to turn public conversations into customer loyalty.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in people leadership, with a proven track record of coaching lean, agile, and highly collaborative digital support or operational teams.
• 5+ years of total work experience in a customer-facing, social media, or operational environment.
• High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent education is required; Bachelor’s Degree is preferred.
• Deep familiarity with social media platforms (X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit) and review platforms (Google, Consumer Affairs) — you understand how these channels work, how they’re different, and what good public engagement looks like on each.
• An AI-forward mindset and excitement about leveraging the latest monitoring and automation tools to scale operations and optimize a team's workflow.
• A strategic mindset with a proven ability to turn big ideas into action and measurable results.
• Experience owning SLAs and holding a team accountable to real-time performance targets in a high-volume environment.
• Strong cross-functional instincts — you know how to work with Brand, PR, Legal, and Ops without losing momentum or ownership.
• A knack for untangling tricky, high-visibility situations with calm, empathy, and sound judgment.
• Amazing written communication skills — you can shape a public response that’s empathetic, on-brand, and on point, and coach others to do the same.
