Job description

Posit creates great software that helps people understand data and make better decisions in real-world applications. Our core offering is an open source data science toolchain, and we aim to make it available to everyone, regardless of their economic means.

 
About the Role

Posit’s Customer Support team is the first point of contact with customers who are struggling with Posit software. 

Because our products are developer tools for data scientists and because they are usually deployed by the customer (not SaaS), our engineers support customers through everything from billing questions to deep questions about Linux functionality. Irrespective of the issue, we seek to turn a moment of frustration into a positive experience that impresses every customer with our kindness, empathy, and technical excellence.

We seek a Manager, Customer Support to help us lead, guide, and improve our support experience. Working on this team will give you the opportunity to improve customer experience, influence product improvements based on feedback from customer interactions, and lead a creative and collaborative team of talented support engineers.

 

Things you’ll own:
  • Guide day-to-day support functions
  • Coach engineers on their career development
  • Improve Support processes for the benefit of the customer and the team
  • Foster a collaborative and open team culture
  • Increase automation and deflection based on analysis of tickets
  • Monitor and improve KPIs
  • Facilitate knowledge sharing

 

Things you’ll assist with:
  • Setting direction for the whole team and building a team culture of psychological safety, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
  • Creating team-wide processes that allow us to scale by identifying, clarifying, and completing projects and customer engagements and sharing knowledge across the team. 
  • Communicating with other teams across the company to ensure they know what Support is doing and planning, and vice versa.

 

Broad Timeline
By the end of your third month, you would…
  • Meet the rest of the Support team and a meaningful fraction of the rest of the company.
  • Understand our Pro Products, offerings, and processes.
  • Know your direct reports, their career aspirations and values, and understand what makes them tick at Posit.
  • Develop hypotheses on operational improvements that could make us more efficient.
 
By the end of your first year, you would…
  • Own part of the team’s process for identifying, scoping, prioritizing, assigning, and completing work.
  • Identify 1-2 opportunities for meaningful improvement to Support team processes and grow the team's effectiveness, efficiency, and/or impact, and begin implementing them.
  • Develop relationships with people on other teams across the company to be more effective as a leader.
