 More on the company and role: 

We're hiring a Customer Support Team Leader — and this might be the dream job for someone who loves systems, working across departments, and helping customers. If you like to rise above the standards most people set and aim for excellence in everything you do, take great pride in your work, and are already recognized as a "quiet leader" who is the person everyone around you counts on — then this might be the perfect job for you.

You'll be working hands-on with our Founder — we doubled in 2021 despite the Covid supply chain disruption, and so we're bringing on someone who is a great person, very reliable, who loves systems and getting results in a disciplined way. We're looking for someone with the right type of mind and thinking style — perhaps you studied engineering, or a similar types of very disciplined work style — and you'll be mentored hands- on by our Founder on logistics, technology, and teamwork skills so you can be an incredibly effective leader and executive.

This will be a very challenging but very fun job. Company-wide we have 65 people in the United States, Philippines and India. If all goes well, you'll be in the top ranks working alongside the Founders of the company. Please don't be shy about applying if you think of yourself as a quiet leader and have only led smaller teams — if you've got "the right stuff", we'll know and do some great work together. Looking forward to hearing from you and potentially doing some great work together.

More on who we’re looking for:

We're looking for a "Customer Support Lead" who will eventually completely take over the Customer Support Department. This will include close collaboration with Karthik to start, and gradually completely taking over all customer facing processes and communications with internal and external stakeholders. This person has the ability to work cross functionally with multiple departments to better serve the customers' needs through effective communication, driven by data, and process oriented.

This person should take immense pride in their team's work, and approach the world in a customer centric way, but systematic in driving the business forward. They should be able to handle high volumes of requests from multiple stakeholders and properly prioritize their team's workload to better serve the customer. This person could have been a Vice President and/or Director in Customer Support, Customer Service, Operations, or Supply Chain. 

In order, they'll (1) review and build Training & Resources, (2) Establish and manage different queues to support customers, (4) understand reporting and long-term strategy of the business, (5) understand and leverage all of the systems, (6) Implement new processes to reduce friction cross-functionally, (7) work with team members to provide continuous feedback and reviews, and (8) hire, interview, and onboard new team members, and (9) optimize the customer support team to drive additional revenue.

The logical promotion path for this role might be to Chief Operating Officer, if they're good. This person might be a former COO/Operations Manager, or someone with an engineering background with experience in a customer facing role. They're probably a little more extroverted, but also enjoy doing deep thinking to solve complex problems by providing a simple solution.
