Do you know what “world-class customer support” means? Read on:

We’re hiring a Director of Customer Support to lead a growing 15-person team. You’ll step into a department that has an absolutely stellar reputation for customer support, both internally and externally (don't take our word for it: read what our customers say about us on places like g2.com).

Our team provides 24/5 live chat support to tens of thousands of digital marketing professionals who use our platform worldwide. As Director of Customer Support, you’ll report to the VP of Customer Success, working to ensure world-class customer service, fulfill departmental and company goals, and support a growing and talented team of staff.

Like our customers, our team is global, and we enjoy a remote yet highly connected work environment: The culture is friendly, open, and collaborative, with regular Slack conversations, Zoom meetings, and shared projects. Outside of your department, you’ll work alongside senior team members from Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering.

As a growing company in a high-growth industry, a key priority is to continually put processes, structures, and people in place to ensure the department scales smoothly while maintaining world-class customer service for our users.

We place a high priority on creating a positive, nurturing, and collaborative team environment: We're specifically looking for someone with a proven track record of rolling up their sleeves to coach staff members to achieve their best, and someone who knows how to rally a team to foster a tight-knit environment that crushes KPIs and wows customers.

• Manage a global team, ensuring processes are followed and quality is achieved in all regions
• Oversee internal and external Customer Support documentation
