[Hiring] After-Sales CX Specialist @SOUM

Role Description

Soum's car showroom is where customers meet the brand face to face. The After-Sales Customer Experience Specialist owns the customer's journey from the moment a sale is signed, through handover, and beyond. You are the customer's single point of contact after the sale: you manage every conversation, every follow-up, and every request until it is resolved.

When a customer raises a technical concern about their car, you own the customer side of the case and work with the Vehicle Inspection Specialist, who owns the technical assessment. The customer always hears from you.

The goal of the role: every customer leaves confident in their purchase, any issue is resolved quickly, and buyers become repeat customers who recommend Soum.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Paperwork & Procedures
  • Follow up on ownership transfer via Absher and the Traffic Department, and on insurance issuance with the relevant parties.
  • Follow up on financing and installments with finance providers when needed.
  • Keep the customer informed at each stage of transfer, insurance, and financing, so they never have to chase Soum for an update.
  • Ensure contracts and invoices are complete and archived in the system.
• Warranty & Complaints
  • Receive post-sale warranty requests and complaints, log them, and follow up until closed.
  • For technical issues, open the case, pass the customer's description to the Vehicle Inspection Specialist for assessment, and keep the customer updated while the technical work is in progress.
  • Coordinate with approved maintenance workshops on appointments, timelines, and customer logistics, using the technical findings provided by the inspection team.
  • Communicate the outcome and next steps to the customer, and close the loop with them on their original channel before marking the case resolved.
  • Escalate complex cases to the Showroom Manager in line with approved procedures, with a documented resolution attempt attached.
• Follow-Up & Customer Loyalty
  • Contact every customer after their order is completed and the car is received, to confirm the car arrived in the agreed condition, that they have faced no technical, paperwork, or missing-accessory issues since handover, and whether they need further service or support.
  • Schedule regular follow-up calls, for example within 3 days and again 30 days after handover.
  • Open a ticket immediately for any issue the customer raises, follow it through to resolution, then check back to confirm they are satisfied.
  • Offer relevant add-on services such as protection, window tinting, maintenance packages, and insurance.
• CRM, Reporting & Coordination
  • Log every ticket and follow-up outcome with accurate category, subject, and resolution notes, and keep all customer data accurate in the CRM system, so reporting stays clean and root causes remain traceable.
  • Gather customer feedback and submit a monthly report on recurring issues and improvement suggestions.
  • Flag repeat issues and process gaps to the Showroom Manager so the root cause reaches the owning team.
  • Share recurring technical complaints with the Vehicle Inspection Specialist so they can be reflected in inspection checks.
  • Work closely with Sales, Inspection, and Maintenance so that every customer handoff between teams is smooth.
