## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Own the strategy, execution, and continuous improvement of Hiya’s product support operations across customer-facing products, internal tools, external support platforms, workflows, automation, metrics, and reporting.
- Define clear ownership models for how support requests are handled across Product, Customer Success, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and other teams.
- Build support systems that reduce avoidable ticket volume, reduce time to resolution, and reduce the number of issues that require a human to solve.
- Establish trusted support reporting: dashboards, recurring summaries, customer pain-point analysis, and feedback loops that help teams make better product decisions.
- Lead the evaluation, implementation, and ongoing improvement of AI-enabled support tools and customer operations platforms.
- Get hands-on with configuration and technical implementation: workflows, automations, integrations, support forms, knowledge sources, routing logic, reporting, and light code or scripting where needed.
- Improve Hiya’s internal support tooling, including customer admin and operator admin tools, by identifying gaps, shaping requirements, validating impact, and collaborating with Product and Engineering.

## What We're Looking For
**Required:**
- 4-8 years of experience in support operations, product support, customer operations, support platform administration, or a similar role.
- Hands-on experience handling customer support tickets and building the processes, workflows, and automations that make ticket handling more efficient.
- Experience owning or administering support and customer operations platforms such as Zendesk, Salesforce, Gleap, Fin, Intercom, Pendo, or similar tools.
- Experience using AI tools, automation, or chatbot platforms to improve support quality, reduce manual work, or create better self-service experiences.
- Strong systems judgment, technical comfort, and execution ability: you can diagnose messy processes, configure tools, work with structured data, build reports, and use light coding or scripting when needed.
- Strong communication and influence skills: you can align stakeholders, lead cross-functional work, and bring teams along without relying on formal authority.
- Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments while staying open to feedback, tradeoffs, and changing priorities.

**Preferred:**
- Experience building support operations from the ground up or significantly improving an existing support function.
- Experience supporting both consumer mobile apps and B2B SaaS products.
- Experience working with Product and Engineering teams to turn support insights into product improvements.
- Familiarity with product analytics, session replay, business intelligence, or data tools such as Pendo, Amplitude, LogRocket, Sigma, Databricks, or similar platforms.
- Experience working across distributed teams, including international teammates or stakeholders.
