Elation Health

1d•$180,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Our team is committed to enhancing physician and patient quality of life through Elation, a SaaS cloud-based clinical platform. Since inception, we've been focused on building a delightful, world-class experience that empowers physicians to deliver phenomenal care to patients. We're looking for a Senior Director / VP, Customer Support to elevate customer service as a strategic lever for product excellence. This is not a traditional support leadership role—you'll own the end-to-end system that captures, routes, resolves, and learns from every support case, driving both immediate service quality and long-term case prevention through product roadmap influence. You'll build and scale a new generation of technically-oriented support professionals, create career paths that retain top talent, and establish the operational rigor that scales with our growth. As a key partner to Product and Engineering leadership, you'll translate support insights into product improvements that prevent issues at the source. If you see customer service as a product to be engineered, love building high-performing organizations, and want to shape how a healthcare technology company serves its customers, this role is for you.

Requirements

7+ years building or scaling technical support/TSE organizations, or 5+ years building and scaling consumer product services at software or SaaS companies with genuine tiered escalation models and technical depth
Proven track record running functions against hard SLAs and systematically improving them—not just maintaining baseline performance
Deep people management experience: Built strong teams, culture, and outcomes; developed high-performing teams through coaching, leadership, and accountability
Experience building or redesigning support career ladders and leveling frameworks that retain technical talent
Technically credible: You may have an engineering background but chose an operations/people-leadership path; you can speak engineer-to-engineer and assess technical problem-solving quality
Systems thinker: You see support as an end-to-end process to optimize, not just a service desk to staff; you've built or redesigned workflows, tooling, and operational models
Data-driven: You translate metrics into insights and insights into action; you've used case data to drive product roadmap prioritization
Proven ability to partner with Product and Engineering leadership as a peer—you've influenced roadmaps, secured resources, and navigated matrix structures
Customer Service as a Product mentality: You design for plans that anticipate problems before customers encounter them, treating support cases as trust-building moments rather than liabilities to manage
Builder mentality: You've started functions from scratch or led major transformations; you're energized by ambiguity and building the playbook
High standards with high empathy: You hold teams accountable to excellence while investing in their development and growth. You genuinely care about your people
Cross-functional influence: You've driven outcomes through partnership and evidence when you don't control all the levers
