Customer Support Team Lead

Job Description About Topline Pro

We’re building AI powered Shopify for service businesses. We help service pros (e.g., roofers, landscapers, painters, cleaners) acquire direct business, fast. Up and running within minutes using Gen AI, our digital storefront products help pros get discovered, trusted, and booked repeatedly.

Topline Pro is co-founded by Nick Ornitz (CEO) and Shannon Kay (COO) with an excellent team of 70+ rockstars with plans to expand more in 2025. We serve thousands of local service businesses and were named as one of the 2023 and 2024 top 50 Tech Companies building for SMBs.

We're YC-backed and well funded with several years of runway, and we’ve experienced rapid growth in the past year. We're in a phenomenal position to scale—with the financial foundation, product-market fit, and momentum to go big. You’ll be joining at an inflection point—where the groundwork is laid and the path to massive impact is clear.

We’re expanding our Onboarding team, and this role will be essential in ensuring our customers are set up for success from day one. You’ll drive the team that is responsible for reducing their time to value by guiding them through the initial stages of their journey, driving early retention and satisfaction. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for someone excited to shape how we deliver a seamless and impactful onboarding experience that sets the foundation for long-term success. This is your chance to join a rapidly growing company and directly influence customer satisfaction and success.

We believe “great candidates” do not come about through simply a checkmark next to past experiences. We believe in hiring people not just skills. Even if you do not check every box but find excitement at the prospect of working with us in this capacity, please apply.
