This role is responsible for the team’s day-to-day performance, including coaching and development, workforce planning, scheduling and coverage, support queues, service levels, quality, customer escalations, and operational efficiency.
As a key cross-functional partner, the Customer Support Manager works with Product, Engineering, Implementation, Customer Success, and Quality to resolve customer issues, identify root causes, improve product supportability, and share customer and product feedback. This leader uses support data, customer insights, automation, and AI-enabled tools to strengthen team performance, improve the customer experience, and help the support organization continue to scale effectively.
This is a hands-on first-line leadership role for someone who understands SaaS technical support, knows how to lead a high-volume support team, and can balance daily execution with thoughtful continuous improvement.

- Monitor team performance across key support metrics, including customer satisfaction, response and resolution times, quality, case backlog, productivity, and phone-support measures, using data to guide coaching and operational decisions.
- Foster a customer-focused culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, and operational excellence, partnering with Training and Quality to strengthen onboarding, team development, and quality standards.
- Serve as the primary escalation point for complex customer issues and high-priority incidents, ensuring timely, professional communication and effective service recovery.
- Analyze support cases, customer feedback, and operational trends to identify recurring issues, emerging risks, and opportunities to improve service quality and team efficiency.
- Take initiative to investigate recurring or customer-impacting issues, participate in root-cause analysis and post-incident reviews, and partner with Product, Engineering, and Quality on resolution.
- Serve as a voice of the customer, translating recurring issues, enhancement requests, usability concerns, and adoption challenges into actionable feedback for Product and other internal teams.
