POSITION:
We’re looking for an analytically driven, intellectually curious, and tech savvy Support Operations Manager to help scale the service function of the User Operations team as we tackle our ambitious growth goals. The User 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 work with User Operations leaders and other key business partners to implement these improvements while ensuring cross-functional alignment through tenacious prioritization, execution, communication, and follow-through across multiple initiatives.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY:
- Ownership of the User Operations “scalability” roadmap - development of long term and near-term (quarterly) operational initiatives to support our product-led growth
- Persistently driving the execution of scalability efforts through removing blockers, consistent follow-up with key contributors, and holding others accountable when needed
- Identify process/system inefficiencies, investigate solutions, and take action
- 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
- Proactively identify solutions for key system and process gaps to improve the service experience of PI users - both customers and partners.
- Ensure the organization, accuracy and prioritization of the broader User Operations projects roadmap and communicate regular updates to key stakeholders
- Oversee implementation, roll-out, and training for systems and tools used by the User Operations team (delegating when appropriate).
- Act as a cross-functional liaison to articulate User Operations’ business problems, develop use cases, and submit business requirements to our partners in Business Systems, Business Intelligence, Product, IT, and others
- Continually keep a pulse on operational opportunities (including, but not limited to, automation, systems and process improvement) and measure the success of implemented projects
- Oversee the management of our internal knowledge solution (Guru) - user access, permissions, the structure and analysis of data
- Provide input in meetings and participate in cross-functional groups to identify and drive forward improvements to internal/external communications, business processes, tools, and products
- Collaborate with User Operations team to understand their workflow and identify operational inefficiencies, plus gather feedback from the team on proposed solutions prior to implementation
