Customer Support Team Lead
TLDR
Lead hands-on customer support operations, ensuring fast, high-quality first responses and a trusted round-robin routing system.
What you'll do
Team & coverage
• Build the shift schedule and on-call rotation so someone is always covering, evenings and weekends included, with named backups
• Run standups: yesterday's SLA hits and misses, every escalation reviewed, anything that slipped off-queue
• Onboard and certify new reps, nobody touches the live queue until they pass a drill-based certification
Quality & consistency
• Own the weekly quality audit and coach against the results
• Enforce the non-negotiables: no ticket, no work; every reply ends with a next step, owner, and time; SLAs run from ticket creation; nothing is called "handled" until it's verified
• Protect trust between tiers, a bad handoff that burns a CSM is a same-day fix
• Spot and shut down shadow channels
Escalations
• Be the escalation point when a rep is unsure, and the backstop on the emergency path
• Keep the routing playbook and templates current as real issues teach you what's missing
Reporting
• Own the support dashboard and bring it to the weekly operations review
• Surface trends early, if cancellations or a particular issue are climbing, you often see it first
Requirements• 4+ years in customer support/service, including 1+ year leading or coaching a team
• Excellent written English and a high bar for how the team writes
• Real experience with SLAs, queues, and support metrics
• Fair, structured, consistent coach, you hold a standard without micromanaging
• Calm and decisive in escalations
• Comfortable owning a dashboard and presenting to leadership
• Reliable home internet, professional remote workspace, backup connectivity
Nice to have
• Experience standing up or restructuring a support function, not just running one
• Hands-on with HubSpot Service Hub, Freshdesk, Zendesk, or Intercom, including reporting
• Background in staffing, recruiting, virtual assistants, or BPO
• Experience running shift-based or 24/7 teams
