Manager of Customer Support

• Dealpath is hiring a Manager, Customer Support to build our Customer Support function from the ground up—defining the strategy, standing up the program, and running the day-to-day operation
• You will design and operationalize the systems, processes, and metrics that turn support into a scalable, measurable, and consistently excellent customer experience
• This is a builder’s role for someone who is customer-obsessed, operationally rigorous, and energized by creating structure where none exists
• You will start hands-on—triaging and resolving the ~10–20 tickets we receive each day—while simultaneously designing the tooling, SLAs, and playbooks that support scale, and hiring the team to run it as volume grows
• Build the customer support strategy and program
• Define Dealpath’s customer support strategy from a blank slate—support channels, coverage model, ticket taxonomy, prioritization framework, and service-level commitments
• Establish the operating model for support: intake, triage, routing, escalation paths, and resolution ownership across the customer lifecycle
• Create the roadmap to evolve support from a reactive inbox into a proactive, self-service-enabled function (knowledge base, help center, in-app support, and deflection)
• Stand up tooling, processes, and SLAs
• Evaluate, select, and implement a modern support platform (e.g., ticketing, help desk, knowledge base, and reporting), migrating off the current support@dealpath.com and CSM-email model
• Define and instrument SLAs and success metrics—first response time, resolution time, CSAT, backlog, and reopen rate—and build the dashboards leadership needs to track them
• Author the support playbooks, macros, and documentation that drive fast, consistent, high-quality responses
• Run day-to-day support operations
• Own the queue: personally triage and resolve customer inquiries with speed, accuracy, and empathy while the team is being built
• Manage escalations end-to-end, driving resolution plans and clear communication that protect customer trust
• Monitor volume and trends, identify recurring issues, and feed insights back into Product, Engineering, and the knowledge base to reduce future tickets
• Partner cross-functionally to resolve and prevent issues
• Work closely with Customer Success and Implementation to ensure seamless handoffs and a unified customer experience
• Partner with Product and Engineering to route, prioritize, and resolve product escalations, and to advocate for fixes that reduce customer friction
• Relay customer feedback and support trends to leadership to inform product, process, and prioritization decisions
• Hire, coach, and scale the team
• Build the case for and lead hiring as ticket volume and complexity grow, defining roles, ramp, and enablement for the support team
• Coach and develop support team members, setting clear expectations and building a high-feedback, customer-first culture
• Create the operating rhythms (queue reviews, QA, performance reviews, best-practice sharing) that keep support effective and consistent as it scales
