Senior Client Support Specialist

What We Do

We’re on a mission to empower animal healthcare professionals with opportunities to earn more and achieve greater flexibility in their careers and personal lives.

Powered by groundbreaking technology, Roo has built the industry-leading veterinary staffing platform, connecting Veterinarians, Technicians, and Assistants with animal hospitals for relief work and hiring opportunities. Roo empowers the largest network of over 20,000 veterinary professionals to help more than 9,000 animal hospitals provide quality care to more pets.
Together, we’ve provided more than  3 million hours of healthcare, helping Veterinarians earn more than $200 million.

About the Role

Roo is looking for a Senior Client Support Specialist to play a critical role in delivering exceptional experiences to the veterinarians, hospitals, and technicians who rely on our platform. This role goes beyond frontline support—serving as a key leader within the Customer Support team, responsible for guiding daily operations, elevating team performance, and ensuring high-quality, consistent service across all customer interactions.

As a Senior Client Support Specialist, you’ll act as a central point of contact for escalations, support cross-functional collaboration, and drive continuous improvements in workflows, tools, and documentation. You’ll also play a hands-on role in training and onboarding new team members, conducting quality assurance, and providing real-time coaching to help the team succeed.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is passionate about customer experience, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is excited to take on leadership responsibilities while still staying close to the work.

Note: This position requires availability during peak support hours—early mornings and evenings (Central Time), including weekends.

  • Serve as a go-to resource for all things Roo CS, helping guide decision-making and best practices.
  • Monitor team workload and performance metrics to ensure service levels and processes are being met.

Training, Onboarding & Quality Assurance

  • Lead onboarding and training efforts for new hires, ensuring a smooth ramp-up and strong foundation.
  • Conduct QA audits on tickets and provide real-time, constructive feedback to improve individual and team performance.
  • Support ongoing coaching and development of team members.

Operations & Process Improvement

  • Maintain accurate documentation in Zendesk, ensuring all customer interactions and tickets are properly logged.
  • Identify workflow gaps and recommend system or process improvements to increase efficiency and scalability.
  • Update and maintain macros, help center articles, and internal documentation to reflect current best practices.
  • Proactively document “rainy day” scenarios and share learnings to strengthen team preparedness.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Finance, Data, and other teams on reconciliation, reporting, and operational workflows.
  • Facilitate smooth cross-functional handoffs to ensure continuity and accountability.
  • Generate reports and insights as needed to support decision-making and operational improvements.

Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of client support or customer success experience, ideally in a fast-paced, early-stage startup or marketplace platform.
  • Veterinary, technician, or broader animal healthcare experience is a major plus.
  • Known for exceptional communication, empathy, and active listening—especially in high-pressure situations.
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and an ability to juggle multiple priorities effectively.
  • Experience working with customer support platforms such as Hubspot, Zendesk, Intercom, or similar.
  • Process-oriented with a knack for identifying inefficiencies and driving continuous improvement.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and able to adapt quickly to changing needs.
  • A self-starter who takes initiative and thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
