Customer Experience Manager

At Origin, we believe in building long-term relationships with coffee producers, with our team, and with our customers. Our wholesale partners are a vital part of that story, and we are looking for a Customer Experience Manager to ensure these relationships are nurtured with care, consistency, and excellence.
This is a role with real scope: you’ll guide our Wholesale Customer Service team, act as the key contact for some of our most valued partners and shape the systems and processes that support Origin’s continued growth in speciality coffee.
The role
As Customer Experience Manager, you’ll lead and coach a small team of 2–3, helping them deliver consistently excellent service to our wholesale customers. You’ll build strong relationships with independent coffee shops, restaurants, and larger chains, understanding their needs and ensuring they get the best from working with Origin.
You’ll work closely with operations to ensure orders run smoothly and with other teams to embed service quality across every touchpoint. Alongside your daily work, you’ll drive improvements to our systems, processes, and CRM usage, continually seeking ways to simplify, accelerate, and enhance our partners' experiences.
This is a role for someone who enjoys both the detail of operational delivery and the bigger picture of improving customer experience. It’s hands-on, people-focused, and crucial to how Origin presents itself to our wholesale community.
What you’ll do
- Lead, coach, and develop the Wholesale Customer Service team.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for major wholesale accounts, fostering long-term partnerships.
- Work with operations to ensure smooth order fulfilment and delivery.
- Lead projects to improve service processes, systems, and CRM usage.
- Collect and share customer insights to inform business decisions.
- Balance day-to-day account management with strategic improvements that support growth.
- Experience in management or account management within wholesale, B2C, or hospitality.
- Strong communicator, confident in building relationships across different customer types.
- Skilled in problem-solving, process improvement, and project coordination.
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Familiar with CRM platforms (e.g. Unleashed, Gorgias) and stock management systems.
- Motivated by continuous improvement, with a proactive, adaptable approach.
