What you will be working on?

​

As the Customer Advocate Lead, you will lead and empower our US support team to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

​

Your first priority will be to hit consistent response times. We have a pretty solid foundation and our passionate team excels at delivering great experiences with our current processes—maintaining an average CSAT of 87%. We’re looking for someone who can take what’s working and make it even better.

​

To accomplish this, you will:

​

• Manage queue distribution in our chat support system and workload across the US support team to maintain target response times and SLAs. We're aiming for a first response time of <5mins for live chat and a total resolution time of 12h.
• Coach and develop team members through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and real-time feedback.
• Handle technical troubleshooting and empower the team to resolve issues that require strong product and systems knowledge, as well as managing customer escalations and high-priority issues.
• Review and quality check team's support interactions and documentation.
• Train new team members on tools, processes, and product knowledge.
• Regularly work in the queue to stay connected to customer needs and model best practices for the team. You will typically spend 30-40% of your time in the queue.
• You will report to our Director of Support, and work with our other amazing support leads such as Kelly whose favorite fruit is dragon fruit.
