About the role: 

The Support Supervisor plays a critical role in ensuring our Product & Payments Support teams deliver exceptional service to our members while maintaining operational excellence across both internal and BPO partners. This role is equal parts coach, operator, and problem solver. The Support Supervisor oversees 6 internal agents and ~18 BPO agents, driving accountability on KPIs, coaching for performance, and ensuring alignment across teams. They are empowered to make independent decisions for membership exceptions, discounts, and escalated cases, while coordinating across Product/Engineering and Leadership during incidents. This role requires strong leadership, judgment, and technical depth to balance competing priorities, manage escalations, and drive quality outcomes.

This role is hybrid to our SF office, 3 days per week in office.

Here are some things you’ll be working on:

Program & process management

• Oversee/manage support programs and tooling.
• Drive operational excellence across both internal and BPO teams, ensuring consistency of quality and standards.
• Monitor, analyze, and report on support metrics daily (CSAT, SLA etc.), flagging anomalies and opportunities for improvement.
• Leverage AI tools daily to elevate the ways in which the Support team works (think: Scorebuddy to manage conversation quality, Unwrap to identify support trends)

Quality & performance oversight

• Conduct regular QA reviews across Tier 1-3 cases.
• Provide actionable coaching and performance feedback based on QA findings.
• Partner with the Support and BPO Manager to identify trends, performance gaps, and training opportunities.

Team & partner collaboration

• Directly oversee scheduling for internal teams and ensure BPO coverage, flagging any gaps to Support Managers.
• Hold regular syncs with the BPO Manager to maintain alignment, quality, and accountability.
• Monitor queues throughout the day, stepping in to support members alongside agents when needed.

Escalation management

• Serve as the first point of contact for member escalations, empowered to make decisions around membership exceptions, discounts, and escalated issues.
• Coordinate directly with Product/Engineering during outages, critical bugs, and high-priority issues.

Leadership & communication

• Ensure important updates and high-priority communications are cascaded effectively across internal and BPO teams.
• Lead by example with a proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented mindset.
• Drive team development by identifying skill gaps and supporting training initiatives.

What we're looking for in a candidate:

• At least 5 years’ experience in customer support, with at least 1-2 years in a leadership/supervisory role.
• Proven ability to coach and develop individuals and teams, with a track record of driving performance improvements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to influence cross-functionally.
• Experience managing QA processes, KPIs, and support tooling.
• Strong appetite for (and ideally some experience in) leveraging AI tools to enhance your work, and that of your teams.
• Skilled in balancing empathy with sound judgment when making customer-facing decisions.
• Comfortable coordinating with Product/Engineering during incidents and driving escalations to resolution.

Bonus points if you:

• Experience managing BPO/vendor relationships.
• Exposure to project management, workflow automation, or process improvement.
