About Plum

At Plum, we’re redefining employee health insurance and wellness in India. But as we scale, excellence can’t be optional, it needs to be perfect. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just manage escalations.

We’re looking for someone who will end them.

You are unreasonably customer obsessed.
You can cut through noise and create solutions.
Your ability to write to stakeholders is clear and compelling.
Your ability to talk to your stakeholder builds trust and drives action.
You love to own vs pass/point.
You love data and its accurate interpretations.
You know how to spot a problem before it becomes large.

You take feedback to Ops, Sales and Product Teams.
You operate multiple CRMs / tools.
You visit insurers, and sometimes customers too.
You are relentless at employee / HR / decision maker / CHRO / co-founder / insurer communication via ticketing journeys.

What success looks like

Your 3 core OKRs:

Reduce escalations by 90% from current volume.

Close the loop and solve every case in under 7 days.

What you’ll need to thrive
