Total Annual Package: Up to USD $125,800

Location: Remote

Puffy is a Top 5 US mattress brand with over $1B in sales. This role is for a hands-on builder who will own the entire customer support tech stack—designing, launching, and optimizing AI-powered workflows that automate Tier-1 inquiries, maximize containment, and ensure seamless AI-to-human handoffs.

You'll also lead and enable a team of agents, driving adoption through coaching and real-world workflow improvements.

This isn’t just another customer support role. This is your chance to become a true industry architect.

You won't just manage tickets—you'll architect the systems that eliminate them. Own the full tech stack (Zendesk, Alhena AI, voice, sentiment analysis), design automated workflows, and push containment rates higher than industry benchmarks. Most support managers inherit systems. You'll build them from first principles.
