Role OverviewHarvey is looking for a Customer Experience (CX) Manager to lead a high-performing support team serving lawyers and professional services teams. Our customers hold their own work to a high standard of accuracy and timeliness, and expect the same from our support. How well your region runs is one of the biggest levers Harvey has on what customers actually experience when they need help. Reporting to the Head of CX, you9ll drive operational excellence and accountability across Harvey9s global support organization.
You9ll balance strategic oversight with hands-on execution. This is a role for a leader who thrives in motion: proactive, decisive, and deeply motivated by achieving results through your team. You9ll inherit a metric set and processes that need to be better, and we expect you to diagnose what9s broken and fix it without being asked.
You9ll also be one of five CX Managers across the globe, and that peer group is where our operating standard gets set. You9re expected to trade what9s working across regions and push for the changes you think we should make everywhere, shaping the culture and cadence of a growing support organization.
What You9ll Do- Run day-to-day support delivery for your region: queue and coverage, triage and handoff, and escalation judgment, measured by First Response Time, Resolution Time, QA, and cSAT. When a number moves, you find the root cause and fix it or scale it.
- Set individual performance expectations and stay close enough to the work to spot drift early. Coach against QA results in the moment, and move to a documented plan only when coaching hasn9t landed.
- Own escalations end to end: triage and severity judgment, customer communication through to resolution, and bug reports Engineering can act on without a follow-up thread. Partner with Product, Engineering, and Go-to-Market to turn recurring escalations into fixes.
- Take part in the on-call rotation for customer-impacting incidents, owning the coordination of response and customer communication strategy while an incident is live.
- Drive adoption of the AI tools and systems we provide across triage, drafting, deflection, and QA, and pressure-test what CX Ops ships against real queue conditions.
- Track how your region performs against the other four, bring what9s working to your peers, adopt what9s working in theirs, and propose the practices you think should apply globally.
- Forecast coverage and staffing against volume, and flag gaps before they have impact.
- Hire, onboard, and develop team members to ensure readiness for future growth and evolving support needs.
What You Have- 8+ years in customer support or customer experience, including 4+ years managing teams in a high-volume environment serving enterprise customers.
- Comfortable operating at Harvey9s pace, not a typical enterprise pace. This is consistently the hardest bar for otherwise-strong support managers to clear.
- A deep focus on the customer, and real satisfaction in solving the problems that make their work harder than it needs to be.
- You are genuinely invested in developing your team, and you know a high bar is part of that.
- You manage close to the work. You know what your team9s tickets actually look like, not just what the dashboard says.
- A change you made to how a support team works that produced a step change, not an incremental gain. You saw the leverage point others in the seat missed.
- Ownership of a metric set (FRT, TTR, cSAT, QA, backlog, deflection): what drives each one, what to change when one slips, and the ability to build your own reporting. We use Zendesk, Salesforce, Omni, and Snowflake.
- You understand enterprise escalations, from severity judgment through the customer conversation, and can work one yourself: reproduce the issue, read error logs, and troubleshoot API, authentication, and AI output quality issues well enough to brief Engineering accurately.
- You can take a process improvement from idea to shipped yourself, and you know which ones to handover to someone on your team instead.
- Day-to-day proficiency using AI tools in a production support workflow, not experimentation, and a concrete point of view on how AI is changing what a support team should look like.
- Admin-level fluency with Zendesk or an equivalent platform: views, triggers, macros, and routing logic.
