- Drive network quality by rigorously monitoring and managing provider performance against key metrics, including dispatch performance, customer experience time trends, and provider-level NPS.
- Handle a high volume of partner communication across email, phone, and chat
- Proactively manage provider churn by diagnosing root causes and leading informed, data-driven corrective conversations to maintain high retention of top-tier partners.
- Build strong relationships with partners while maintaining clear performance expectations
- Warmly hand-hold new partners through their onboarding as needed, while encouraging the use of our online, automated onboarding funnel where possible.
- Negotiate competitive rate schedules that not only win the business but create a win-win for Honk and our providers.
- Advocate internally for changes that improve outcomes for partners and customers
- Travel occasionally to industry events and meet partners in person

- Strong judgment and a high sense of ownership
Additional Requirements
