Responsibilities:
- Manage and develop a team of 12+ FTE support agents distributed across locations and time zones
- Formalize a tiered team structure, including Team Leads and escalation roles
- Grow the team thoughtfully and proactively alongside ticket volume and efficiency gains
- Coach team on quality, efficiency, and customer experience. You’re helping the team drive performance through regular 1:1s, feedback, and structured development
- Foster a high-accountability, high-support, and highly-engaged team culture in a fully remote environment
- Own team monthly and seasonal scheduling as well as day-of scheduling changes
- Own support KPIs: CSAT, first response time, full resolution time, percent SLA adherence, etc
- Design and iterate on workflows, escalation paths, coverage models, and QA processes
- Identify workflow improvements that reduce reliance on manual interventions by increasing user-enabled features and workflows
- Increase our percentage of tickets that are auto-resolved
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams on escalations, bug patterns, feedback loops, and product improvements
- Lead the team's implementation of innovative tools to improve efficiency and response quality
- Build and optimize AI-assisted workflows from agent-facing automation to customer-facing features
- Identify opportunities that reduce ticket volume or improve self-service. Then own deployment and adoption of new tools
- Stay ahead of the curve on what's possible and bring a point of view on where we should be striving towards
- Alongside VP of Operations, evaluate, own, and evolve our tech stack (we currently use Front) to best serve team and customer needs
- Handle tickets and provide real backup coverage when team capacity requires it

Requirements:
- 8+ years in customer support, with at least 3 years in a management or team lead capacity within a B2B SaaS tech company
- Experience managing high-volume, multi-channel support operations (email, chat, phone, in-app, etc.)
- Deep customer obsession, with a genuine drive to listen to calls, read chats, and get into the weeds of the support experience rather than manage it from a distance
- Demonstrated experience with AI as a productivity tool within support teams. This means more than turning on a chatbot. We want someone who has used AI agents, built or configured AI-powered workflows, and ideally has shipped something customer-facing
- Comfortable evaluating and implementing support tooling, including having been part of a platform migration or buildout before
- Proven ability to manage remote, distributed teams across time zones
- Background in payments processing is required, proptech or real estate tech experience is a plus
- Data-driven, where you know your metrics cold and use them to tell a story and drive decisions
- Expert with Front, Zendesk, or Intercom
- Familiarity with building in tools like Retool, n8n, Relay, or other workflow/automation platforms
- Having shipped agentic tools
- AI or other LLM-based certifications or educational experience
- Exposure to property management, parking, or real estate tech
