Job Description About the Role
n We're looking for a Customer Support Team Lead to own the day-to-day performance and long-term growth of our support team. You'll coach and develop a team of support specialists, manage escalations, refine our processes and tooling, and act as the voice of the customer across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll spend time in the queue alongside your team while building the systems that let us scale support quality as we grow.
n
n What You'll Do
n n Lead, coach, and develop a team of [4–8] customer support specialists, including hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, and performance reviews.
n Own team KPIs — first response time, resolution time, CSAT, and SLA compliance — and report on them regularly to leadership.
n Manage queue coverage across channels (email, chat, phone) to meet service-level targets.
n Serve as the escalation point for complex, sensitive, or at-risk customer issues, and coordinate with engineering and product on bugs and outages.
n Build and improve support processes: triage and prioritization, escalation paths and macros/templates.
n Own the knowledge base — identify documentation gaps from ticket trends and drive self-service deflection.
n Surface customer insights and recurring issues to product, engineering, and leadership.
n Evaluate and administer support tooling (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot) and explore automation and AI-assisted workflows.
n Stay hands-on: handle tickets during peak periods and lead by example on tone and quality.
n n
n What We're Looking For




n n 3+ years in customer support, with 1+ year leading or mentoring a team.
n Track record of improving support metrics (CSAT, response/resolution times, deflection).
n Excellent written and verbal communication — you can de-escalate a frustrated customer and give a teammate clear, kind feedback.
n Experience with modern support platforms (Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or similar) and comfort with reporting and analytics.
n Strong judgment on prioritization and escalation; calm under pressure during incidents.
n Process-minded: you document, systematize, and automate rather than firefight.
n Empathy for customers and teammates alike.
n n
n Nice to Have
n n Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment.
n Familiarity with AI support tooling (chatbots, AI-assisted replies, deflection tools).
n Experience building QA programs or support career ladders from scratch.
n Basic technical fluency — reading logs, writing straightforward queries, or working closely with engineering.
n n
n What We Offer
n n Competitive salary.
n Flexible PTO and hybrid work.
n A direct hand in shaping how a growing company treats its customers.
n n
n How to Apply
n Send your resume and a short note about a support team improvement you're proud of to . We review every application and aim to respond within 3 business days.
n Ava is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
