About this role

What You'll Do

- Own Day-to-Day Support Operations: Lead-style management of our external support team, including coaching, shift coverage, and triaging what gets escalated upward.

- Run First-Pass Escalation Triage: Take the first pass on issues currently going to engineering. Resolve what's covered by existing process, and escalate only what's genuinely necessary.

- Build the Support Foundation, Then Own QA: Partner with the Head of Customer Success to strengthen our support tooling and processes. Once that foundation is in place, quality assurance becomes your full-time focus, making sure standards are applied consistently across every interaction.

- Support Enterprise Reporting: Help prepare and spot-check the reporting we share with clients, and keep our internal and external documentation current.

- Manage Our External Support Partner: Track performance against agreed standards, and hold our team to a high bar as we refine their scope.

- Cover the Queue When Leadership Is Heads-Down: Monitor tickets and escalations while the Head of Customer Success is in client meetings or otherwise unavailable.

Required Skills and Qualifications

- 5–7 years of experience in customer support, support operations, or CX, ideally in fintech, payments, or crypto.

- Experience managing an outsourced or offshore support team, including performance reviews and quality oversight.

- Hands-on experience with modern support tooling, including building workflows and reporting.

- Comfort making fast, judgment-based decisions inside clearly defined guardrails, and knowing when to escalate rather than decide.

- Strong written communication; you'll be setting the tone for how we sound to end users and partners.

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with crypto or blockchain-based products, even as a user.

- Experience building a support operation from an early or informal state into something more structured.

- Exposure to compliance-adjacent support workflows (KYC, transaction disputes, fraud review).
