  • Lead, Inspire, and Develop: Manage and mentor a team of customer support specialists, providing guidance and support to help them deliver the best possible customer experiences. Drive a high-performance culture by setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, and creating growth opportunities within the team.
  • Strategic Process Improvement: Identify, design, and implement processes and policies to improve support efficiency and the overall customer experience. Use data-driven insights to refine and enhance workflows and tools, focusing on reducing friction points for customers.
  • Handle Escalations: Act as the point of contact for complex or escalated customer issues, ensuring timely and effective resolutions that align with our commitment to customer satisfaction.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams, including Product, Marketing, and Engineering, to advocate for the customer and drive product improvements based on feedback and support interactions.
