What you'll be doing
You will own and improve the system that handles incoming customer cases, with a focus on AI-assisted resolution, routing, escalation and handoffs. This is a systems-heavy individual specialist role, not a ticket-heavy support role.
- Own the day-to-day performance of a live customer support system, identifying where cases fail, misroute or create unnecessary work for other teams.
- Improve AI-assisted resolution safely, using evidence to raise automatic resolution, routing accuracy and case prevention.
- Design and refine customer case journeys end to end, including intake, routing, escalation, handoffs and ownership rules.
- Review failed and escalated cases to identify patterns, improve answer quality and make handoffs clearer.
- Maintain the knowledge, runbooks and feedback loops that support automation and help colleagues act quickly.
- Put safety checks in place before systems take action on customer accounts, especially where renewals, quotes, billing or account changes require human ownership.
- Work with the wider GTM teams to resolve unclear ownership, routing issues and recurring process problems.
- Reduce avoidable back and forth for customers and colleagues by turning ambiguous requests into clear actions.
- Start from a baseline, test narrow changes, review failures and measure impact through prevented cases, true resolution time and customer experience.
- Bring a high bar to system ownership: the candidate will be expected to combine speed, accuracy and judgement in a busy, high-volume environment, while improving the quality of the system over time.
- Ensure a smooth and high standard customer experience
- Be accountable for defining, surfacing on and improving our key customer metrics.
Requirements
You should bring:
- 5-7+ years in customer support systems or operations work.
- Experience in support operations, customer operations, support systems, sales operations, revenue operations, CRM administration or a B2B support analyst role.
- Hands-on CRM experience with Salesforce or HubSpot, including reporting, data quality and workflow management.
- Experience with structured customer journeys, high-volume workflows and ambiguous customer queries that need to become clear actions.
- Evidence of improving a process with a measurable result, such as replacing a repetitive manual process with better intake, self-service or safe automation.
- Strong ability to configure, maintain and improve CRM or support platform workflows, reports and data structures.
- Experience improving case routing, escalation or handoffs so customers reach the right team with less back and forth.
- The ability to review failed and escalated cases, identify patterns and tune an AI or automated support tool to improve answer quality and routing accuracy.
- Clear, concise written communication, including runbooks and documentation that busy colleagues can act on without extra interpretation.
- Strong problem-solving skills: the candidate breaks problems down, seeks missing context early and uses evidence rather than assumptions.
- Commercial awareness and the judgement to decide whether a case needs an answer, an action or a named human owner.
- A reliable, thoughtful, resourceful and meticulous approach, with the calmness to bring structure to a busy environment.
- Curiosity about new tools and a practical interest in fixing manual processes so work becomes smoother.
- Fin by Intercom, Intercom or another AI support or automation tool is a strong plus.
- SaaS or software support experience is a strong plus; telecoms, telecom software support or managed service provider experience is also relevant.
