Customer Support Team Senior Manager
Parkade
About Parkade
Parkade is a B2B2C SaaS platform that modernizes private parking for apartments, mixed-use, and offices. We help buildings move away from the headaches of stickers, hang tags, and spreadsheets to a fully automated, self-serve app for parking management, enforcement, and customer service.
We have carved out a highly differentiated position in a massive PropTech market, our customers love us (98% lifetime retention), and we closed a successful Series A funding round with a proven sales process.
We're a lean, high-impact team where your work is visible, your ideas matter, and there's real room to shape how things get done.
The Role
We're looking for a Customer Support Team Senior Manager who's equal parts operator and innovator. You'll own the day-to-day performance of a 12+ person dispersed support team while also thinking strategically about how we scale. We see scaling come to life through smarter tooling, AI-powered workflows, and a culture of hustle and continuous improvement.
This is a true player-coach role. You'll be in the queue alongside your team, handling tickets daily and stepping in as backup when coverage demands it. You're not too senior to help a customer, and you're not too junior to build the systems that mean we need fewer escalations in the first place.
Our support team is a key source of customer obsession and happiness. It will be your job to help ensure we maintain that.
What You'll Do
Team Leadership
- Manage and develop a team of 12+ FTE support agents distributed across locations and time zones.
- Formalize a tiered team structure, including Team Leads and escalation roles.
- Grow the team thoughtfully and proactively alongside ticket volume and efficiency gains.
- Coach team on quality, efficiency, and customer experience. You’re helping the team drive performance through regular 1:1s, feedback, and structured development.
- Foster a high-accountability, high-support, and highly-engaged team culture in a fully remote environment.
- Own team monthly and seasonal scheduling as well as day-of scheduling changes.
Operations & Strategy
- Own support KPIs: CSAT, first response time, full resolution time, percent SLA adherence, etc.
- Design and iterate on workflows, escalation paths, coverage models, and QA processes.
- Identify workflow improvements that reduce reliance on manual interventions by increasing user-enabled features and workflows.
- Increase our percentage of tickets that are auto-resolved.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams on escalations, bug patterns, feedback loops, and product improvements.
Innovation & Tech Stack
- Lead the team's implementation of innovative tools to improve efficiency and response quality.
- Build and optimize AI-assisted workflows from agent-facing automation to customer-facing features.
- Identify opportunities that reduce ticket volume or improve self-service. Then own deployment and adoption of new tools.
- Stay ahead of the curve on what's possible and bring a point of view on where we should be striving towards.
- Alongside VP of Operations, evaluate, own, and evolve our tech stack (we currently use Front) to best serve team and customer needs.
Player-Coach
- Handle tickets and provide real backup coverage when team capacity requires it.
- Stay close to the customer experience so your strategic decisions are grounded in reality.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years in customer support, with at least 3 years in a management or team lead capacity within a B2B SaaS tech company.
- Experience managing high-volume, multi-channel support operations (email, chat, phone, in-app, etc.).
- Deep customer obsession, with a genuine drive to listen to calls, read chats, and get into the weeds of the support experience rather than manage it from a distance.
- Demonstrated experience with AI as a productivity tool within support teams. This means more than turning on a chatbot. We want someone who has used AI agents, built or configured AI-powered workflows, and ideally has shipped something customer-facing.
- Comfortable evaluating and implementing support tooling, including having been part of a platform migration or buildout before.
- Proven ability to manage remote, distributed teams across time zones.
- Background in payments processing is required, proptech or real estate tech experience is a plus.
- Data-driven, where you know your metrics cold and use them to tell a story and drive decisions.
- Expert with Front, Zendesk, or Intercom.
- Familiarity with building in tools like Retool, n8n, Relay, or other workflow/automation platforms.
Nice to Haves
- Having shipped agentic tools.
- AI or other LLM-based certifications or educational experience.
- Exposure to property management, parking, or real estate tech.
Why This Role
- Real ownership. You're not inheriting a rigid playbook, you're helping write it.
- A supportive management team. We’ll encourage your experiments and support you as you try new things.
- Lean but incredible support team, low bureaucracy, and high visibility.
