Senior Support Operations Manager
We're looking for a
Senior Support Operations Manager
to serve as the strategic advisor and operational partner to the Support Leadership Team. You will shape how the Support organization interacts with customers, where and how it invests, and how it evolves. You bring the analytical rigor, business perspective, and outside-in thinking that helps Support leaders make confident decisions and moves the business forward.
The right person thinks in systems and can own an initiative from first principles to final rollout. You do not wait to be handed a problem. You surface the ones worth solving, frame them, and bring a recommendation. The outcomes you drive will show up directly in how our customers experience PandaDoc along with our Support Team's main KPIs.
In this role, you will:
Lead the rhythm of business for Support leadership : extract insights from data through real time monitoring across support performance, CSAT, channel mix, product gaps, customer health, etc and translate those insights into recommendations that inform strategy, headcount, and operational decisions
Drive the strategy and build for 0 to 1 programs and other Key Initiatives : proactively seek out opportunities to shape key initiatives, whether that's building something new or taking current programs like the Learning Academy and pushing them to the next level.
Own the customer lifecycle intelligence layer : partner with Product and Data to surface usage, lifecycle stage, and customer health signals to support agents at the point of contact, and define the playbooks and tooling that turn those signals into action
Lead AI and automation strategy for Support : advance PandaDoc's Claude, Intercom and Fin AI capabilities, identify and close tooling gaps, and drive adoption of new technologies that increase team productivity and improve the customer experience
Own planning and forecasting : lead capacity modeling, annual planning, budgeting, and monthly and quarterly business reviews for the Support organization
Build performance management infrastructure : consolidate disparate data sources into unified performance dashboards and reports that enables frontline managers to monitor, coach, and act while providing key insights to Support leaders on where to focus attention.
Serve as the cross-functional operator for Support : represent the Support organization in company-wide initiatives, strategize and execute on OKRs, and drive alignment with key business partners.
About You
5+ years working as the operational core of a customer-facing organization: Support, Customer Experience, or something closely adjacent. Recent Support Ops experience is recommended
You have led change that actually sticks. Not just tool rollouts, but the process redesigns and AI integrations (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others) that shift how a team fundamentally works
You have a high degree of business ownership. You don't stop at "here's what happened." You turn data into a POV and a plan, tracing a metric back to its root cause, forward to its business implication, and arriving with a recommendation people can act on
You can effectively move from ambiguous problems to launched initiatives with targeted outcomes. You hold the strategic thread and do the detailed work when it matters
You earn trust at the executive level and can move a room toward alignment even when you do not own the final decision
You have owned a budget, run a planning cycle, and explained a variance. Financial forecasting is part of how you manage the business, not something you hand off
You are fluent in the platforms that modern support and CX organizations run on ex: Intercom/Zendesk, Gainsight/Planhat, Salesforce and Jira/CWM software
We care more about what you've built, your domain expertise and how you think than whether your title history is a perfect match. If this role energizes you, please apply.
