Customer Support Lead
Hybrid (San Francisco, CA)$100k - $180kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
Lead end-to-end customer support and build Pocket's community. Manage automation, support tooling, and a distributed team across time zones to drive advocacy and retention for Pocket’s hardware+software product.
Responsibilities
- Automation: the AI support agent, the knowledgebase behind it, and the workflows that keep humans out of routine volume
- The support stack end to end: helpdesk, integrations, routing, and reporting
- A distributed team across time zones, spanning support and community: hiring, coaching, scheduling, performance
- Support quality and SLAs, plus returns, warranty, and order escalations - the realities of a physical product
- The feedback loop: turn what support and community hear into fixes and bets for product and ops
- The core numbers: deflection rate, cost per contact, first-response and resolution time, CSAT - plus community growth and its pull-through to retention
Qualifications
- You've shipped automation in support - automations, AI agents, self-serve - and can point to the numbers moving
- You've run a support team (5+ people) at a consumer company, ideally one with both a hardware and a software product
- Fluent across hardware and software support - you can troubleshoot a device and chase down a sync bug with equal ease, and translate cleanly between customers and engineering on both
- Technically literate - as comfortable configuring a helpdesk or writing a prompt as running a 1:1, and you reach for AI to amplify the team
- You own your metrics and build the systems behind them, end to end, without being managed
- A clear writer who sets the bar for tone - for the team, the AI agent, and every community touchpoint
- Calm under spikes: launches, shipping delays, viral moments, etc.
