Senior CX Executive at Nivoda – Grow Into Leadership in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Role Level & Market Position: This is a Senior Customer Support Executive role requiring 5+ years of experience — a mid-to-senior individual contributor position with coaching and mentorship responsibilities. No salary is listed, which is a mild yellow flag; senior CX roles in Europe typically range from €35,000–€60,000 annually depending on country and company stage. Candidates should negotiate confidently.
Skills You'll Build:
- Multilingual client management (English, Italian, French — rare and valuable)
- B2B marketplace support in a high-growth fintech-adjacent environment
- Zendesk and live chat tooling at scale
- Cross-functional collaboration and internal advocacy (“voice of the customer”)
- Team mentorship, onboarding, and escalation handling
Career Path Signals: The autonomy to set your own KPIs and the coaching/training responsibilities suggest a clear path toward a Team Lead or Customer Success Manager role. The company is in a rapid-growth phase ($300M+ GMV), meaning internal mobility opportunities are likely.
Green Flags: Low-hierarchy culture, distributed team across 8+ countries, strong mission-driven narrative, and a genuine scale-up energy. The 24/7 support model means your work has real operational impact.
Yellow Flags: Fixed CET hours with no mention of shift flexibility. No salary transparency. The role covers a broad remit (support + ops + training), which could mean resource constraints. Candidates should clarify team size and escalation volume in interviews.
Bottom line: Strong role for a multilingual CX professional looking to grow into leadership at a fast-moving marketplace startup.
Location: Remote in Europe
Working schedule: Mon – Fri, 8am – 5pm CET
Language Requirements: Native or full professional proficiency in English, Italian and French is required for this role. In addition, fluency in Spanish is highly desirable.
About Nivoda
Nivoda is a rapidly scaling global B2B diamond and gemstone marketplace connecting jewellery retailers with competitive, high-quality suppliers worldwide. Processing $300M+ in annual transactions and operating across multiple regions, Nivoda is transforming a $350B industry that has historically been slow to modernise.
Our platform gives businesses of all sizes — from independent jewellers to major retail chains — access to the world's best diamond and gemstone inventory, without the traditional barriers of capital, geography, or information asymmetry.
Our Mission
Diamond and gemstone trading has long been plagued by inefficiency, opacity, and exclusivity. Nivoda was built to change that — to democratise access and empower every business, regardless of size or location, to buy and sell with confidence. Independent jewellers are at the heart of this mission. They deserve the same access to quality, pricing, and selection as the biggest players in the industry. That's exactly what we give them.
The Team ⭐️
Our Customer Support team is the heartbeat of Nivoda's mission. We're highly attentive, customer-obsessed agents distributed across 8+ countries, dedicated to delivering exceptional service and seamless experiences 24/7 via live chat, phone, WhatsApp, and email. This is a team that thrives on responsiveness, continuous improvement, and deep cross-functional collaboration to solve personalised, nuanced needs of retailers across several regions.
