Senior Manager, Customer Support

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.

More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium‑sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

We’re a high‑growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as Black Rock, TPG (The Rise Fund), Soft Bank, Glynn Capital, New View Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

The Senior Manager of Customer Support at Human Interest plays a critical role in driving operational excellence and world‑class service by leading a high‑performing team of Support Managers. Reporting to the Director of Customer Support, this position combines strategic oversight with indirect leadership to execute our specialized support strategy, ensuring customers receive high‑accuracy resolutions on our retirement savings platform.

You will lead a multi‑layered organization of associates and managers, focusing on specialized work streams such as Money‑In, Money‑Out, and Account Support. Key responsibilities include coaching and mentoring your management tier to drive associate development, while maintaining our top‑tier service metrics, including CSAT and Resolution Rates.

The role emphasizes a proactive, data‑driven approach to customer support, leveraging specialized "Subject Matter Expert" (SME) teams to reduce cognitive load and simplify the complexities of 401(k) administration. This position is perfect for an experienced leader of leaders who thrives in a fast‑paced, scaling environment and is passionate about building the systems and people needed to help customers secure their financial futures.
