Role DescriptionThe CX / Support Manager is the sole people manager for all hourly support agents, owning formal performance management, development, and the direct employment relationship across L1 and L2. This role also manages the Support Lead as a functional partner, owns day-to-day operational execution, and handles Level 3 escalations. The Support Manager translates the Head of CX's strategic direction into team-level goals, accountability systems, and cross-functional coordination. This is an operational leadership role — the person who makes sure the team performs, the queue runs, and collectors are served well, every day.

Manage the Support Lead as a functional partner and direct report
Conduct regular 1:1s with all direct reports without exception
Build and maintain documented development plans for every agent; hold agents accountable to growth in capability quarter over quarter

Build and maintain schedules, coverage plans, and handoff structures that hold up without close supervision
Manage support tooling and identify where workflows create friction
Stay close enough to case quality to give specific, useful coaching — understand the products well enough to validate resolution quality
Surface CX issues to product, fulfilment, and risk clearly and within agreed timelines

Acknowledge all Level 3 escalations within the target window and provide regular player-facing status updates on open cases
Triage escalations accurately
Document root cause and outcome notes on resolved escalations
Performance & Reporting
Use platform reporting and operational data to identify performance trends and drive decisions, not just monitor activity
Suggest data-informed improvements to constantly improve the customer experience
Frame operational decisions in terms of collector retention, churn, and revenue
Track support economics: cost per contact, deflection rates, AHT, FCR

Strong working knowledge of payments, fraud signals, escalation handling, and marketplace or platform support
Experience with at least one modern support platform (Intercom, Zendesk, or Gorgias) and associated reporting tools

Fluent in support economics: cost per contact, deflection rates, AHT, FCR
Nice to HaveBackground in gaming, collectibles, e-commerce, or marketplace platforms
