WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Technical Support Specialist, Team Lead in our New York Office office, you will be an essential part of our Global Technical Support Team that owns the post-sale technical relationship with our customers and will directly manage a local team of Support Specialists during West Coast Standard Business Hours of 12:00pm - 8:30pm Eastern. Your role will have two main components: handling and resolving support tickets and managing a growing team of support specialists.

Handling and Resolving Support Tickets

Your focus will be to own, prioritize, troubleshoot, and build a response plan for complex inbound customer support issues relating to our platform. You will work in coordination with your Global Technical Support Leadership and teammates to ensure our customers are able to quickly and successfully overcome any technical issues they may face when using our platform. You’ll also regularly contribute to our knowledge database, helping to “pay it forward” allowing teammates and customers to learn quickly from your insight. Want to learn and grow in the role? Perfect! We will give you plenty of opportunities to become a subject matter expert in our platform and will challenge you with stretch projects that will help you learn about coding, marketing automation, and mobile ecosystems.

Managing the Team

You will be directly managing a small, but growing team of support representatives in the NY office, with plans to hire additional team members as our business continues to grow. You will be responsible for interviewing, hiring, training, performance management, and ongoing coaching of employees to deliver exceptional performance. You’ll also focus on planning, assigning, and directing their daily work activities. A big part of your role will be to help implement our global processes across the team to ensure world-class support to our customers. You’ll also take responsibility and pride in helping to grow and develop the amazing support team members across the region. You will act as the regional escalation manager for critical issues, ensuring they get resolved quickly and successfully through a coordinated, process-driven approach.

WHO YOU ARE

You have previous team lead experience or have directly managed a team. People say you’re a great communicator and top-tier problem solver! You have exemplary written and verbal communication skills with unparalleled follow-up skills. You leave people with the impression that you are really listening to them, understand their problem, and you’re there to help. You look for every opportunity to make things better and you’re all about the team. You get a thrill from helping customers and you know that even though the job isn’t easy, you’re making a difference each and every day. You’re naturally curious and you see every problem as an opportunity to learn more or help others (teammates or customers) learn more too.
