Full Job Description
Senior Manager, Customer Experience

Full-Time • Remote • Reports to Director of Customer Experience

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Customer Experience to lead our Tier I and Social Support operations across a globally distributed team of 35+ agents and 4 Team Leads. This role is for a self-sufficient, fast-moving operator who can manage a large team, drive automation across our CX tech stack, and protect brand trust in public-facing channels - all without needing hand-holding. You'll report to the Director of Customer Experience and serve as both an operational leader and a strategic partner across the business.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Team Leadership & Operations

  • Lead and develop Team Leads and agents across Tier I email and Social Support globally
  • Own CSAT, NPS, QA, First Response Time, Full Resolve Time, and productivity metrics
  • Act as the primary escalation point for complex or high-risk customer issues
  • Drive process improvements that improve both the customer and agent experience
  • Manage vendor and recruiting partner relationships, including quality oversight and performance
  • Own onboarding and training program development - not just coaching through leads, but building the curriculum
  • Lead incident response during outages or fulfillment failures, coordinating cross-functional communication under pressure

Automation & Platform Ownership

  • Be hands-on with our CX tech stack - able to get into backend systems, configure workflows, and build improvements directly
  • Identify and implement automation opportunities to reduce manual work, improve routing, and free agents for high-complexity issues
  • Partner with Product and Engineering on AI-assisted support tools, integrations, and workflow automation
  • Own SOPs, macros, routing logic, and documentation within Kustomer and connected platforms
  • Calibrate self-service and automation strategy to balance efficiency with CSAT outcomes

Social Support & Brand Protection

  • Oversee Social Support across social channels, app stores, and public review platforms including BBB
  • Be a true expert in social CX - fluent in platform-specific nuances, community management, and public de-escalation without sacrificing brand voice
  • Monitor social sentiment proactively and surface emerging issues before they escalate
  • Align with Marketing and Brand to ensure CX voice is consistent across every public-facing touchpoint
  • Set and enforce response quality and brand standards across all public channels

Workforce Planning & Reporting

  • Manage global workforce planning, shift scheduling, and coverage strategy for a US-demand-heavy operation
  • Deliver weekly and monthly KPI reporting with clear context and actionable recommendations
  • Lead change management across platform migrations and operational shifts - keeping team performance steady through transitions
  • Analyze contact drivers and sentiment trends to surface retention risks and product insights cross-functionally

Voice of the Customer & Cross-Functional Work

  • Partner with the Director of Customer Experience to deliver strategic, actionable insights that drive the Voice of the Customer across Product, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Legal
  • Own Help Center and FAQ content, keeping it accurate and aligned with current policies and product changes
  • Think beyond resolution - understand how support interactions affect retention and bring that lens to cross-functional conversations


WHAT WE'LL LOVE ABOUT YOU

  • You're a self-starter who moves fast - you don't wait for perfect data or perfect process to take action
  • You can manage a large, fast-paced team without losing quality or burning people out
  • You treat Social Support as brand strategy, not just customer service
  • You're genuinely excited about technology - you want to get into systems, understand how they work, and make them better
  • You lead with clarity - your team knows what's expected and performs well under pressure
  • You think about retention, not just resolution - you understand how support shapes whether a customer stays
  • You communicate data with nuance - you know metrics don't always tell the full story and you frame that clearly for leadership


WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT YOU

Experience

  • 5-8+ years in Senior/Supervisory CX role, with 2-3+ years managing Team Leads or senior agents in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
  • Experience across both high-volume transactional CX (email, chat) and public or social support channels
  • Background in subscription or e-commerce with recurring billing complexity
  • Demonstrated ability to drive automation and workflow improvements within a CX tech stack, not just oversee them
  • Experience leading teams through platform migrations and operational change without losing performance

Skills

  • Hands-on with CX platforms - able to configure, optimize, and improve systems directly
  • Deep expertise in social CX, community management, and public escalation handling
  • Strong analytical and reporting skills; able to contextualize data clearly for non-CX stakeholders
  • Familiar with CSAT/NPS methodology - understands how survey design and exclusion logic affect what scores actually mean
  • Excellent written communication, especially in brand-sensitive and public-facing environments

Platform Knowledge (Preferred)

  • Kustomer or equivalent CX/ticketing platforms (Zendesk, Gladly)
  • Sprout Social or equivalent social listening and community management tools
  • DigitalGenius or AI-assisted CX automation platforms
  • Shopify or E-Commerce backend systems relevant to order management and customer data
