Job Description

Front is a hub for customer communication that allows companies to offer tailor-made service at scale. Front looks and feels like your email inbox with a few very important differences: teammates collaborate in the same place where external messages are sent and received, and behind the scenes, robust workflows and integrations power the efficiency and insights typically found in a CRM. More than 6,500 businesses use Front to work together to send out the best replies faster, keep messages organized across channels, and always maintain a personal touch. The result is premier, personalized service that scales with your business — and a team that works together as one.

With $138M in funding, Front is backed by Sequoia Capital, and other leading venture capital firms, as well as independent investors including top executives of Atlassian, Okta, Qualtrics, and Zoom. Front was recently named to Wealthfront’s Career-Launching Companies in 2021 and Forbes Cloud 100 2020, the definitive list of the top software companies in the world. We have also been recognized on LinkedIn’s 2020 Top Startups, The New York Times’ The Next Wave of‘Unicorn’ Start-Ups, Fortune’s Best Small Workplaces, and Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work.

At Front, we’re redefining business communication and collaboration with our shared inbox for teams. Front brings all of your communication channels(email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) into one place, so you can triage and assign messages, have internal conversations around them, and even sync your work across other services you use from Salesforce to Github. Today, over 2,000 companies rely on Front to power communication in their business, and we’re just getting started.

As a Customer Support Manager, you’ll be an integral member of our world-class support team, and will have an opportunity to help our team as we scale to offer global support. You will be working closely with multiple teams within Front to help us represent the company in our most visible role. We are looking for a leader who has a proven record of leading a support team that has maintained delivery of a high quality of support interactions while scaling, and someone who loves mentoring and coaching their direct reports to maximize their potential.

This role is required to be located in CA, OR, WA, CT, IL, AZ, NY, TX, FL, CO, MI, or NC.

What will you be doing?

  • Supervise a fully remote support staff across multiple time zones, checking in regularly on their metrics, happiness, and growth. You’ll be in charge of onboarding, developing, leading, engaging, motivating, and supporting team members, who in turn help Front’s customers work happier.
  • Drive improvements in response times, messages sent, and customer satisfaction within your team. Think globally to propose where we could make improvements that would not only improve one person’s stats but improve the whole team’s efficiency.
  • Participate in cross-functional projects with engineering product and design, marketing, and sales.
  • Point of contact for customer escalation requests and pings from the team.
  • Become knowledgeable on how Front works and its day-to-day usage, helping our customers understand the features and all of the benefits pertaining to their specific needs.
  • Respond to customer support inquiries when required and monitor the health of our support channels(email, chat, calls).
  • Scheduling shifts and balancing the team’s availability to ensure we have optimal coverage for our customers.
  • Lead team meetings give presentations on behalf of the support team at company meetings.
  • Assist in building knowledge base/support data such as training materials and FAQs to empower your team to solve problems.
  • Take part in the“on-call” rotation for urgent customer requests: a reactive-first shift shared by the entire support team that includes some weeknights and weekends on a rotating basis.

What skills and experience do you need?

  • 5+ years of customer support experience(bonus points for SaaS/tech startup customer support experience).
  • 2+ years in a leadership role where you directly led and managed a team of people and built a strong team culture.
  • Previous experience managing a team to metrics, hosting regular 1:1s, performance reviews, career development, performance improvement plans, and running team meetings.
  • Excellent verbal & written communication.
  • Experience developing deep partnerships across multiple teams.
  • Ability to recognize patterns in data and develop recommended solutions.
  • A great attitude, low ego, and positive energy. Someone who genuinely has a passion for customer support and cares for their team.
