  • Own the day-to-day operations of the support team, ensuring coverage, workload balance, and queue health across all support channels while monitoring team adherence to SLAs for first response, assignment, and resolution targets.
  • Drive escalation management processes, ensuring escalated cases are handled with urgency, proper documentation, and root cause follow-through while maintaining high-quality ticketing hygiene within the CRM/ticketing system.
  • Leverage AI tools to improve operations, identify and implement process improvements that reduce repeat contacts, improve resolution times, and eliminate friction for customers and agents.
  • Own and report on key support KPIs including CSAT, SLA compliance, escalation rate, first response time, and case volume trends, analyzing operational data to identify patterns and translate insights into action plans.
  • Serve as the primary operational liaison between Customer Support and teams including Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Professional Services, coordinating on incident management, escalations, and systemic issues impacting multiple customers.
