Requirements
5+ years leading/managing Customer Support teams in B2B SaaS, including at least 2+ years at the Director level overseeing multi-layered, globally distributed organizations. Preferred if you have experience in Payments or Fintech.
Experience with Intercom is strongly preferred. If you come from Zendesk or a comparable enterprise support platform, we're still interested; what matters most is that you know how to get the most out of a modern support stack and can get up to speed quickly.
Proven experience scaling support teams from ~20 → 40+ representatives, ideally in high-growth environments with increasing product complexity.
Has operated in high-volume, fast-paced hiring environments, building strong recruiting pipelines while maintaining a high technical bar.
Deeply experienced in support operations as a discipline, including:
Ticket volume forecasting & workforce planning
First response time & time-to-resolution optimization
Strong command of help center / knowledge management systems, including building structured internal documentation and scalable self-service strategies.
Experience leveraging AI and automation (e.g., Intercom Fin AI or similar tools) to increase resolution rates and deflect low-complexity volume without harming CSAT.
Technically inclined and comfortable supporting complex SaaS products (payments, fintech, CRM, workflow systems, automation, AI-enabled platforms preferred). Able to dive into complex cases when needed.
Experienced building and scaling globally distributed support models, including follow-the-sun coverage and regional leadership layers (LATAM, Europe, APAC strongly preferred).
Strong executive communicator who can translate frontline insights into strategic product and retention improvements.
Obsessed with customer outcomes, but equally rigorous about operational discipline, efficiency, and measurable performance.
