We're looking for a Senior Manager/Director of Support who wants to build something—not just inherit it.

This isn't a role for someone who's happiest keeping the trains running. It's for someone who sees friction, asks why it exists, and fixes it at the root.

You'll lead our support organization while redesigning the systems, processes, tooling, and operating rhythms that create an exceptional customer experience. You'll build scalable support operations, develop a high-performing team, strengthen our relationship with our outsourced support partner, and create tight feedback loops with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Professional Services.

We're looking for someone with high agency. Someone who doesn't wait for permission. Someone who naturally spots opportunities, brings solutions, and leaves every system better than they found it.

AI is also central to how we work. We use it every day to automate workflows, improve decision-making, eliminate repetitive work, and move faster. You'll be expected to bring the same mindset—using AI as a practical tool to improve both customer experience and operational efficiency.

This role reports directly to the VP of Service Operations and offers the opportunity to shape the future of our support organization from the ground up. If you're energized by transformation, thrive in ambiguity, and love building teams and systems that scale, we'd love to meet you.

You naturally take ownership. When something is broken, your instinct is to fix it.

You don't…
