Buyers Edge Platform is seeking an experienced and dynamic Manager of Customer Support (Back Office) to lead a team dedicated to delivering a best-in-class customer support experience. This pivotal role is instrumental in translating customer needs into impactful product improvements and cultivating genuine, valued customer relationships.

Through a combination of continued education and user-friendly software, independent, multi-location, franchise, and enterprise restaurant groups gain actionable insights into their performance, empowering them to make data-based operational decisions!

We value the impact and connection that comes from regular in-person collaboration. Therefore, the ideal candidate will work from our Littleton, CO office, with anticipated travel, as needed. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role.
