🏢 About Lime
Lime is the world's largest shared micromobility company, operating electric scooters and bikes in nearly 30 countries and powering over one billion rides. As a Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime is driving a shift away from car ownership toward affordable, carbon-free urban transportation. Working here means joining a fast-paced, mission-driven team that is literally reshaping how cities move.
About This Role
As a Customer Success Manager for Lime's Commercial Delivery product, you'll be the frontline support for delivery couriers using Lime's shared e-bikes and scooters. You'll resolve revenue-critical issues—passes, payments, parking, trip endings, and rack problems—while documenting trends and executing refunds. This hands-on role is crucial for scaling an early-stage product from its London proof point into new markets, directly impacting courier satisfaction and Lime's commercial success.
💡 A Day in the Life
You'll start your shift by reviewing open tickets and escalations from the previous support roster, prioritizing payment and pass issues that directly impact courier earnings. Throughout the day, you'll respond to live chats and emails, process refunds, document recurring problems, and collaborate with product and engineering teams to surface trends. Your shift may end with a handoff summary to the next regional team, ensuring seamless 24/7 support for Lime's delivery couriers.
