Company Description

Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.

Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.

Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer, providing employment opportunities without regard to age, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other protected status. We’re continuously evolving our recruitment processes to ensure fairness and are open to accommodating any needs you might have.

Role summary

We are looking for a Senior Process Specialist to join our Community Experience team and support the Continuous Improvement function. You will independently own scoped process improvements, from identifying gaps and root causes through to designing, implementing and measuring practical solutions.

Working with Product Ops, Training, QA, Real Time and CX Specialists, you will turn product, policy and operational changes into clear, accurate and sustainable guidance. You will work with minimal day-to-day direction, use sound judgement when information is incomplete and help improve agent effectiveness and the community experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the creation and rollout of scoped process improvements and workflows linked to product launches, policy changes, bugs, recurring pain points and operational feedback.
• Investigate process issues and content gaps using data, feedback and stakeholder input to identify root causes and recommend practical solutions.
• Maintain the accuracy and consistency of CX documentation and guidance across multiple tools, resolving discrepancies and implementing smaller amendments independently.
• Translate complex or changing information into clear, actionable, agent-friendly guidance that reflects the Depop tone of voice.
• Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders to align owners, timelines and operational requirements, while providing clear updates on progress, risks, dependencies and blockers.
• Identify operational risks before changes launch and recommend mitigations, contingency plans or follow-up actions where needed.
• Prepare and deliver team announcements, process updates and training content, and own defined workstreams within larger change-management projects.
• Use feedback and operational insight to assess whether changes have improved clarity, efficiency, adoption or the agent and customer experience.

Requirements

• Experience creating, maintaining or improving process documentation, operational guidance, knowledge base content or similar materials.
• Experience owning work from problem identification through to implementation, managing competing priorities and meeting fast-paced deadlines.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to work through incomplete or conflicting information and turn complex concepts into simple, actionable guidance.
• Initiative and sound judgement: able to identify solutions, make decisions within your remit and know when to seek input or escalate.
• Strong attention to detail and a high quality bar, including the ability to identify discrepancies, dependencies and operational risks.
• Confidence working cross-functionally and adapting communication style for agents, specialists, operational teams and stakeholders.
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities while maintaining quality and accountability for outcomes.
• Confidence using Google Docs, Sheets and Slack, alongside support tooling such as Zendesk or equivalent systems.

Nice to have

• Experience in customer support, operations, knowledge management or continuous improvement.
• Experience supporting changes linked to product launches, bugs, policy updates or operational incidents.
• Experience using operational data, quality insights or Jira to identify, track and evaluate process improvements.
