International E-commerce Team Lead
The future of E-commerce customer service is being built right now. Come lead it.
AI is transforming how E-commerce brands handle customer service, and MakesYouLocal is at the front of that shift. We combine the best AI tools with the best people, so our clients get fast, smart, scalable support without losing the human touch that actually builds loyalty.
We're looking for a Team Lead who gets this. Someone who understands that AI handles the volume and your team handles everything that matters most.
What this role really is
This isn't a traditional customer service management job. It's a leadership role at the intersection of AI-powered operations and human expertise. You'll lead a team that works with cutting-edge tools daily, and your job is to make sure they use them brilliantly, while stepping in with real human judgement where it counts.
Your experience from the "old world" of E-commerce and customer service is exactly what we need. You know what great looks like. Now you'll help us build it, faster and smarter, with AI as the engine.
Your team
You'll lead two types of roles:
E-commerce Managers - client-facing, strategy and optimisation-focused
E-commerce assistants - working with AI tools for customer service, translations and back-office tasks
If you enjoy motivating people, ensuring quality, and still being close to the business and the clients, this role is for you 🚀
Your role – leadership with impact
Lead and support your team with clear expectations, monthly 1:1s and continuous feedback
Create a motivating environment where people grow alongside new technology
Monitor team KPIs (quantitative and qualitative) and take action when needed
Own the quality of the team's output both human and AI-assisted alike
Act as escalation point for the complex situations where human judgement is critical
Handle resource planning, keep the team right-sized as tools and workflows evolve
Collaborate closely with Operations teams and other Team Leads
What we’re looking for
Minimum 12 months in a team leadership or people management role
Excellent English at C1/C2 level
KPI-driven mindset, you analyse situations and act with confidence
Comfortable working with and alongside AI tools, curious, not resistant
Strong leadership skills, motivating, positive, and direct
Skilled at giving constructive feedback that helps people grow
Background in e-commerce, customer service or digital retail is a strong plus
We welcome applications from all nationalities and backgrounds.
What it’s like working with us
We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. You’ll join an international, informal and ambitious company where people support each other, share knowledge and celebrate wins.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across Copenhagen, Vilnius and Brno, and be part of a culture built on trust, ownership and collaboration.
This is not a “manage from a distance” role, you will be working out of our office in Copenhagen.
Work with the best AI tools in E-commerce customer service, before most companies even know they exist
A front-row seat to how AI and human expertise combine to deliver real results
Full training in our tools, methods and leadership approach
Profit-sharing, your results matter, you share in them
Career development: 1:1 sparring and personal development plans
International team across Copenhagen,Vilnius and Brno
Social Club: parties, game nights and good vibes
