About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Customer Experience to lead our Tier I and Social Support operations across a globally distributed team of 35+ agents and 4 Team Leads. This role is for a self-sufficient, fast-moving operator who can manage a large team, drive automation across our CX tech stack, and protect brand trust in public-facing channels — all without needing hand-holding. You'll report to the Director of Customer Experience and serve as both an operational leader and a strategic partner across the business.

Requirements

5–8+ years in Senior/Supervisory CX role, with 2–3+ years managing Team Leads or senior agents in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
Experience across both high-volume transactional CX (email, chat) and public or social support channels
Background in subscription or e-commerce with recurring billing complexity
Demonstrated ability to drive automation and workflow improvements within a CX tech stack, not just oversee them
Experience leading teams through platform migrations and operational change without losing performance
Hands-on with CX platforms — able to configure, optimize, and improve systems directly
Deep expertise in social CX, community management, and public escalation handling
Strong analytical and reporting skills; able to contextualize data clearly for non-CX stakeholders
Familiar with CSAT/NPS methodology — understands how survey design and exclusion logic affect what scores actually mean
Excellent written communication, especially in brand-sensitive and public-facing environments
You're a self-starter who moves fast — you don't wait for perfect data or perfect process to take action
You can manage a large, fast-paced team without losing quality or burning people out
You treat Social Support as brand strategy, not just customer service
You're genuinely excited about technology — you want to get into systems, understand how they work, and make them better
You lead with clarity — your team knows what's expected and performs well under pressure
You think about retention, not just resolution — you understand how support shapes whether a customer stays
You communicate data with nuance — you know metrics don't always tell the full story and you frame that clearly for leadership
