Lead the technical support function, redesign support systems, manage a global team, and enhance customer experience through efficient processes.
At Opus1, we’re building the operating system for music and performing arts schools, and we’re just getting started.
We believe that great customer experience starts with exceptional support. That’s why we’re hiring a Director of Technical Support to level up and lead our Support function. You’ll lead the evolution of our Support function, enhancing infrastructure, people operations, and customer touch points.
You’ll own our in-app support experience, develop systems to scale, and empower our team to deliver fast, thoughtful, and reliable support to the performing arts educators who rely on Opus1 every day.
If you’re passionate about building efficient systems, leading with empathy, and turning chaos into clarity, we want to meet you.
What You’ll Do
· Own the Support strategy across in-app chat, email support, ticketing, and help center infrastructure (Zendesk transitioning to HubSpot)
· Redesign foundational systems: improve tagging, triage, escalation protocols, and prioritization frameworks
· Build and manage a high-performing global support team, including US-based and offshore resources
· Ensure full coverage of our 9am–9pm EST support window through thoughtful scheduling and staffing models
· Model and forecast capacity based on volume trends, product growth, and seasonal demand
· Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and CX to ensure timely resolution and closed-loop feedback
· Oversee technical documentation and internal training for new hires and ongoing enablement
· Lead with values and set the tone for a support culture grounded in empathy, accountability, and customer love
What You Bring
· 5+ years experience leading technical support or help desk teams, ideally within a SaaS environment
· Proven success managing and scaling distributed teams (US + offshore)
· Strong experience with Zendesk (or equivalent) and in-app chat platforms
· Demonstrated ability to design and implement support processes, SLAs, tagging systems, and escalation workflows
· A data-driven approach to capacity modeling and team planning
· Exceptional cross-functional communication and collaboration skills
· A passion for empowering customers and a high bar for service quality
Why Opus1?
We’re on a mission to modernize how performing arts schools operate—starting with software that actually works the way studio owners and educators do. Backed by incredible customers and investors, we’re scaling fast across music, dance, and beyond.
You’ll join a passionate, scrappy, and collaborative team where your work will have immediate impact. Come help us build the kind of company you’d be proud to support.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
