About The Position

ChargeLab has built a strong foundation in driver support and customer care. As our network, hardware footprint, and deployment volume have grown, so has the complexity of our customer operations.

As the Senior Manager, Customer Operations, you will bring Customer Support and Deployments & Hardware Operations together under one clear structure. You’ll create alignment, improve accountability, and ensure our systems and processes scale with the business.
