We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.

 

POSITION:

 

We’re looking for an analytically driven, intellectually curious, problem solving oriented and tech-savvy Support Operations Manager to help manage and scale the service function of the Support Operations team as we tackle our ambitious growth goals. The Support Operations team supports and enables PI users (customers and partners) in numerous areas - beyond the traditional scope of technical support. In this role, you will propose and implement solutions in alignment with our business strategy and drive operational improvements with the ultimate goal of increased scalability. You will be part of the Support Operations leadership team and will work with other key business partners to implement improvements while ensuring cross-functional alignment through tenacious prioritization, execution, communication, and follow-through across multiple initiatives.

 

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY:

 

  • Ownership and development of a Support Operations “scalability” roadmap - development of long-term and near-term (quarterly) operational initiatives to support our product-led and partner- led growth.
  • Responsible for managing and growing talent in order to evolve into a world class Support Operations team 
  • Empower your team members’ ongoing career development, continued learning, general wellbeing.
  • Operating with a continuous improvement mindset through driving the execution of scalability efforts through identifying process and systems inefficiencies, removing blockers, consistent follow-up with key contributors, and holding others accountable.
  • Partner with the Business Intelligence team to enhance our data analytics and dashboards - ensuring our insights remain actionable in an environment of rapid iteration and change. 
  • Identify proactive solutions for key system and process gaps to improve the service experience of PI users and drive the Voice of the Customer throughout the organization.
  • Ensure the organization, accuracy and prioritization of the broader Support Operations priorities and projects roadmap and communicate regular updates to key stakeholders.
  • Act as a cross-functional liaison to articulate Support Operations’ business problems, develop use cases, and submit business requirements to our partners in Business Systems, Business Intelligence, Product, IT, and others. 
  • Participate in cross-functional groups to identify and drive forward improvements to internal/external communications, business processes, tools, operational efficiencies, automation and products
  • Oversee implementation, roll-out, and training and maintenance for systems and tools used by the Support Operations team

What does your typical day look like?

I'd say a good "typical" day is spent either in scrum meetings, mentoring, coding, doing system design, incident response, writing technical stories, interviewing as we are hiring and growing fast, technical documentation and other team meetings.

PI and my team have done a lot to map out a career path from having monthly discussions to filling out a personal development chart. This has allowed me to clearly see a future as well as understand what it is going to take to achieve my goals, and I know PI will help me get there.
