Customer Support Lead

120k – 160kSan Francisco, CACustomer SupportOnsite5+ YOE
Summary

Lead and scale a customer support team at a B2B SaaS healthcare AI startup. Own SLAs, Zendesk tooling/automation, self-serve infrastructure, and use data to reduce support volume while coaching reps.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Lead and grow the team. Manage, coach, and develop a team of customer support representatives. Own hiring, training, and onboarding as the team scales.
  • Keep service exceptionally fast. Own SLAs and keep response and resolution times best-in-class. Ensure the team operates as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality.
  • Build the support engine. Design and continuously improve processes, workflows, and tooling in Zendesk. Create automations that remove repetitive work and speed up resolution.
  • Turn support into insight. Constantly analyze where the biggest opportunities are to reduce support queries, surfacing trends to the product and customer success teams to drive fixes at the root.
  • Build self-serve infrastructure. Develop a robust self-serve layer (help center, documentation, in-product guidance) so clinicians can solve more on their own.
  • Stay close to clinicians. Be comfortable texting and calling customers daily. Lead by example on what great, human support looks like.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years in customer support or customer experience at a B2B SaaS company, with at least 1-2 years leading a team. Experience at a fast-growing startup, ideally seed to Series B.
  • Highly analytical. You set up processes, track everything, and let the numbers guide where you focus.
  • Deep familiarity with Zendesk and a genuine excitement for building automations.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication. You're comfortable on the phone, over text, and in writing every day.
  • A bias toward getting ahead of problems rather than just clearing the queue.
  • High ownership mentality and comfort operating in ambiguity.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with healthcare or home health.
  • Experience building self-serve support infrastructure from the ground up.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Platinum health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Flexible PTO
  • Unmatched career growth opportunity in customer experience
