Who You Are
You naturally take ownership. When something is broken, your instinct is to fix it. You don't wait to be told what needs attention—you notice it, investigate it, and improve it. You enjoy building systems just as much as solving problems. You're comfortable making decisions with imperfect information and moving quickly while maintaining high standards. You balance customer empathy with operational discipline. You care about developing people, building scalable processes, and creating lasting improvements—not just putting out today's fires.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience leading Support, Customer Operations, Customer Experience, or Service Operations teams.
- Demonstrated experience improving, transforming, or scaling a support organization.
- Experience building processes, operating models, playbooks, or quality programs from the ground up.
- Strong leadership experience with a track record of developing high-performing teams.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate operational data into actionable improvements.
- Experience managing outsourced support vendors or BPO relationships.
- Experience with Zendesk, Jira, Gainsight, Intercom, or similar customer operations platforms.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve productivity, workflows, reporting, or customer operations.
What We're Looking For
You'll Thrive Here If...
- You get excited by fixing broken systems instead of working around them.
- You naturally ask "Why does this keep happening?" instead of simply solving today's problem.
- You have a high level of initiative and don't wait for someone else to tell you what needs to happen.
- You enjoy building structure in environments that are evolving quickly.
- You hold yourself and your team to a high standard while remaining collaborative and humble.
- You're energized by ambiguity and transformation rather than intimidated by it.
- You believe the best leaders build teams that consistently solve problems.
- You're constantly looking for ways to improve the customer experience, even when no one asks you to.
- You leave every team, process, and organization better than you found it.
