Role Overview:

As a Tier 2 Member Success Specialist, you’ll play a critical role in supporting our members through more complex, high-impact situations. This includes handling member escalations, managing handyperson transitions, and resolving nuanced scheduling, service, and membership challenges that require judgment, empathy, and cross-team coordination.

You’ll act as a trusted point of contact for members who need extra care, while also serving as a key partner to Operations and our Handypeople team to ensure continuity, clarity, and a high-quality member experience.

3-Month Outcomes

Be a key contributor in reducing churn and increasing member delight by owning complex member situations end-to-end.

• Respond to inbound tickets within SLA, with an emphasis on Tier 2 cases and escalations. These may include service disruptions, handyperson transitions, repeated issues, or high-risk churn scenarios.

• Serve as a calm, confident voice for Honey Homes during sensitive member conversations. Build trust through clear communication, empathy, and thoughtful resolution.

• Own handyperson for assigned members, including proactive outreach, expectation setting, and coordination with Operations to ensure a smooth handoff and minimal disruption.

• Partner closely with Handypeople and Operations via Slack and internal tools to triage issues, prepare for upcoming visits, and resolve on-the-ground challenges.

• Support visit pre-scoping, complex scheduling needs, and membership questions that require deeper product or policy knowledge.

• Identify members at risk of churn and proactively engage them with solutions, education, or plan adjustments to help them get more value from their membership.

• Execute against performance metrics including SLA adherence, churn reduction, escalation resolution time, and successful handyperson transitions.

• Bring a problem-solving mindset to ambiguous or non-standard member issues. Work independently while knowing when to loop in cross-functional partners to drive resolution.

• Contribute to process improvements by identifying recurring issues, testing new tools or workflows, and sharing data-backed insights with Product and Operations.

• Take ownership of small projects or initiatives that improve internal workflows, escalation handling, or member communication standards.

Competencies

• You’re empathetic and steady under pressure. You understand both the emotional side of homeownership and the realities of field work.

• You’re skilled at prioritization and can confidently assess urgency, impact, and next steps across multiple member situations.

• You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and enjoy solving problems in a fast-moving startup environment.

• You’re resilient and adaptable. You can reset quickly after a tough interaction and show up consistently for the next member.

• You’re detail-oriented and document clearly. You value clean handoffs, thorough notes, and process consistency.

• You think critically and solve problems from first principles, rather than defaulting to “how it’s always been done.”

• You take ownership. You follow issues through to resolution and advocate for the right outcome for members and the business.

• You’re curious and eager to learn. Home maintenance terms, internal tools, and evolving processes don’t intimidate you — they motivate you.

Background

• 3+ years experience in customer success and escalations support

• Experience at an operationally complex, fast-growing company (not solely internet-based)

• Familiarity with homeownership or home maintenance concepts

• Proven ability to follow and improve processes while maintaining a high attention to detail
