Summary

This role is designed for a seasoned leader with 8–10 years of experience managing technical support teams, specifically within the AMER market. The ideal candidate has a blend of high-level strategic vision and deep technical fluency; you should be as comfortable designing an enterprise-tier support roadmap as you are analyzing server logs or troubleshooting APIs. Experience scaling SaaS support organizations and managing "managers of managers" is essential for success here. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from **$220,000 to $260,000 base**, plus equity. While the listing mentions "fully remote," it also emphasizes a strict **in-office culture** on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in San Francisco, so proximity to the bay area is required. You’ll have the unique opportunity to build an AI-native support strategy for a beloved global brand while architecting the "upmarket" experience for large enterprise clients. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have spent at least 4 years leading the AMER region for a global CX organization. * Possess a "builder" mindset and can design support tiers from self-serve AI (Tier 0) to complex escalations. * Are technically proficient enough to review scripts (Python/JS) and understand SSO/SAML integrations. * Thrive in high-growth environments where you must influence product roadmaps using data-driven "Voice of the Customer" insights.
