About the Role

We're looking for a Customer Support Team Lead to own the day-to-day performance and long-term growth of our support team. You'll coach and develop a team of support specialists, manage escalations, refine our processes and tooling, and act as the voice of the customer across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll spend time in the queue alongside your team while building the systems that let us scale support quality as we grow.

What You'll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of [48] customer support specialists, including hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, and performance reviews.
• Own team KPIs first response time, resolution time, CSAT, and SLA compliance and report on them regularly to leadership.
• Manage queue coverage across channels (email, chat, phone) to meet service-level targets.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex, sensitive, or at-risk customer issues, and coordinate with engineering and product on bugs and outages.
• Build and improve support processes: triage and prioritization, escalation paths and macros/templates.
• Own the knowledge base identify documentation gaps from ticket trends and drive self-service deflection.
• Surface customer insights and recurring issues to product, engineering, and leadership.
• Evaluate and administer support tooling (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot) and explore automation and AI-assisted workflows.
• Stay hands-on: handle tickets during peak periods and lead by example on tone and quality.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in customer support, with 1+ year leading or mentoring a team.
• Track record of improving support metrics (CSAT, response/resolution times, deflection).
• Excellent written and verbal communication you can de-escalate a frustrated customer and give a teammate clear, kind feedback.
• Experience with modern support platforms (Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or similar) and comfort with reporting and analytics.
• Strong judgment on prioritization and escalation; calm under pressure during incidents.
• Process-minded: you document, systematize, and automate rather than firefight.
• Empathy for customers and teammates alike.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment.
• Familiarity with AI support tooling (chatbots, AI-assisted replies, deflection tools).
• Experience building QA programs or support career ladders from scratch.
• Basic technical fluency reading logs, writing simple queries, or working closely with engineering.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary.
• Flexible PTO and hybrid work.
• A direct hand in shaping how a growing company treats its customers.
