We're running an Online Hiring Event every Saturday to hire SVPs of Software Customer Support ($400K/yr).
Online Hiring Events are live forums designed to enable you to understand the role and requirements through an interactive Q&A session followed by a self-directed testing process. The testing takes between 3-5 hours to complete. It’s worth taking the time to finish all the tests because we evaluate every single complete application to find the top talent.
This event will include all testing required to apply for the role. Upon grading the tests, and if you advance, we will set up an interview with the hiring manager.
The SVP of Software Customer Support will be expected to react quickly and make critical decisions on a daily basis. Our products are never offline, and there’s a requirement to have an always-on mentality.
The ideal candidate will need to have a hunger for new challenges. While the typical Customer Support organization sets readily achievable targets, we don’t. We want more than reasonable, we set high-quality bars, and we push for constant improvements until we feel we have reached excellence.
In this position, you will be expected to deliver weekly, monthly and quarterly improvements to the quality of software support. You will be measured by quality metrics, customer NPS scores, and productivity of software support resolutions, measured by total cost per ticket.
As a senior manager, you will be responsible for recruiting best in class VPs. You will need to have the ability to identify key skills to build your team. You will need to coach your VPs on what we believe top quality service is, to make sure they develop and nurture their own teams toward a common goal of excellence. We need the SVP of Software Customer Support to raise the level of the team performance in our atypical fast paced environment.
