Full Job Description
The Role

Way is looking for an experienced Manager, Customer Operations and Support who thrives in the complexity of scaling a startup. This role requires someone who is organized, analytical, and on the cutting edge of AI tooling. The position is intended to both oversee our Customer Support function and implement Rev Ops tools across the GTM organization. It is a high-impact, high-visibility position with the company.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and Implement Systems: Enhance Support tools (e.g., Fin) and implement other technology systems across the Customer organization, with a bias toward AI features and capabilities.
  • Manage Human and AI Customer Support Agents: Actively manage agents to ensure they are trained, supported and able to give our customers the highest level of success.
  • Maintain and Expand Knowledge Base: Ensure the knowledge base is clear, expansive and up-to-date, as it is the foundation for all of our AI processes.
  • Be a Product Expert: Master all aspects of the Product, including features, integrations and edge cases.
  • Analyze & Act on Data: Monitor individual customer responses and themes across the portfolio to inform gaps to be addressed, then address those gaps. Surface reports and insights across the business.

What We Are Looking For

  • Growth Mindset: You're energized by ambiguity, comfortable with change, and see fast-paced environments as opportunities rather than obstacles. You are looking to grow your abilities, intelligence, and skills through effort, learning, and persistence.

  • Customer Support Experience: You have been in customer support in some capacity, and understand the challenges and opportunities within it.

  • High Attention to Detail: You catch what others miss-whether it's an inconsistency in customer data, a subtle shift in usage patterns, or a minor detail in a customer case.
  • Exceptional Communication Skills: You adapt your message for different audiences and communicate with equal effectiveness in writing, presentations, and conversation.
