Senior Manager of Customer Support
About the role
Define, track, and manage to SLAs across all support channels — using data to surface trends, identify gaps, and drive continuous improvement in resolution time and quality.
Own the support P&L, managing costs while scaling capacity intelligently as the product and user base grow.
Design the right support experience for each problem type — deciding when a user needs a human, an AI agent, a help article, or a proactive fix upstream in the product.
Build and iterate on operational processes that make the team faster, more consistent, and less reliant on manual effort — including launching new support channels.
Lead and develop a team of 6–8 support ICs, setting clear expectations, coaching on quality, and building a culture that’s as data-minded as it is customer-obsessed.
Partner with Product, T&S, Billing, and Legal to close the loop between support signals and product decisions — helping Suno build toward a future where creative fulfillment is a daily reality for everyone.
