Schedule: Full-time — includes some nights and weekends. Reports to: Director of Operations

Lead. Steady the front door. Save lives.

Our Customer Service team is where the public meets our mission — adoptions, intakes, questions, emotions, and everything in between. We’re looking for a Customer Service Manager who is calm under pressure, clear communicator, and always setting the team up to succeed. If you love leading people, creating strong systems, and delivering a customer experience that feels professional and human — you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the daily operations of the front office/customer service team — overseeing staff performance, coaching, and accountability.
• Ensure every customer interaction is high-quality, mission-aligned, friendly, and professional.
• Train, assign, oversee, mentor, and (when needed) address performance issues to meet standards.
• Ensure shelter adoption team protocols and processes are effective and used consistently.
• Support and oversee intake and adoption processes, making sure the public receives accurate information.
• Step into tough moments: guide employees through complex situations and resolve escalated complaints/disputes.
• Build staffing coverage: ensure shifts are staffed, approve time off, and fill open shifts.
• Oversee supply ordering and inventory to keep the front office fully stocked.
• Track the details that matter: update contact info in PetPoint and keep adoption plans organized.
• Prepare monthly and yearly shelter reports for Board meetings.
• Support adoption counseling as needed: greet customers, answer phones, route calls, counsel/match adopters, and complete paperwork.
• Monitor Lost & Found resources (Craigslist, Indy Lost Pet, shelter lost reports) for possible matches.
• Close the day strong: reconcile cash drawer and credit card totals during end-of-day process.
• Partner with the Director of Operations to identify ways to increase revenue streams and improve front office results.

Who You Are

• You embrace a No-Kill Philosophy and lead with integrity.
• You’re a self-starter: you don’t wait to be told what’s broken — you fix it.
• You’re confident in conflict resolution and can de-escalate with professionalism and empathy.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment with heavy multitasking and shifting priorities.
• PetPoint experience is preferred.
• You’re a strong communicator (written and verbal) and can coach others clearly.
• You’re a motivating, diplomatic “people person” who builds trust and morale.
• You’re flexible for nights/weekends.
• You can work in an environment with animal sounds, smells, and allergens.
• You have experience with behavior modification/testing programs.
