Hire a Voice of Customer FTE

Voice of Customer Officer

Customers describe defects long before the return rate shows them. The Voice of Customer FTE reads reviews, support tickets, return comments and marketplace questions, clusters what they say by product, batch and vendor — a seam that fails, a colour that differs from the photo, a listing that promises what the product does not do — and hands each cluster to the role that can fix it with the evidence attached. It is judged on defects found that were then fixed, not on sentiment scores.

How it works

A week with Voice of Customer.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Continuously01

    Read

    Reviews, tickets, return comments and questions, clustered by product, batch and vendor.

  2. Daily02

    Clusters routed

    Each defect handed to the role that can fix it with the evidence attached; safety always to a person.

  3. Weekly03

    Listing mismatches

    What the page promises against what customers received, sent to the Product Catalog FTE.

  4. Monthly04

    Fixed and held

    Defects found, fixed, and confirmed fixed in later reviews and returns.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Voice of Customer reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Capabilities

Built for the job.

Customers describe defects long before the return rate shows them. The Voice of Customer FTE reads reviews, support tickets, return comments and marketplace questions, clusters what they say by product, batch and vendor — a seam that fails, a colour that differs from the photo, a listing that promises what the product does not do — and hands each cluster to the role that can fix it with the evidence attached. It is judged on defects found that were then fixed, not on sentiment scores.

01

Defects surfaced by product and batch with the exact review lines, tickets and photos behind them

02

Each cluster routed to the role that fixes it — the Buyer, the Fit Officer, the Product Catalog FTE, the vendor — as an evidence pack

03

Judged on defects that were fixed and stayed fixed, measured in later reviews and returns

Skills

  • Review Mining
  • Ticket Theme Detection
  • Defect Clustering by SKU and Batch
  • Listing-Versus-Product Mismatches
  • Evidence Packs for Vendors
  • Fixed-Defect Tracking
Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Audit a new collection's first month of feedback

A bounded read of everything customers said about a launch, clustered and routed.

Diagnostic

What are customers saying that the return reasons do not capture?

Themes from free text with the lines behind them, ranked by frequency and cost.

Strategy

Which vendor's products generate the most defects?

Defect clusters by vendor with evidence packs for the Supplier Officer.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Control

You manage. Voice of Customer executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Does it reply to reviews?

No. It reads them and routes what they reveal. Replies are the Social Officer's or your team's, on approval.

What can the Voice of Customer FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Voice of Customer proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
