About the Role

We’re looking for our first Support Leader to build and scale HeyMarvin’s support function. You’ll own the end-to-end support experience for our customers — from designing processes to hiring the team, defining KPIs, and working cross-functionally with Product, Sales, and Customer Success.

This is not a “keep the lights on” role. It’s about building — support systems, playbooks, and culture — so our customers get help that’s fast, empathetic, and insightful.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and lead HeyMarvin’s support team — recruiting, onboarding, and coaching high-performing support specialists.
• Define and implement scalable processes (ticketing, SLAs, escalation paths, feedback loops).
• Be hands-on at the start: resolve customer issues across channels (chat, email, in-app, phone), ensuring high CSAT.
• Partner with Product & Engineering to turn customer pain points into product improvements.
• Establish support metrics and reporting (response times, resolution times, CSAT, % deflection).
• Create a customer-first culture where every interaction reinforces HeyMarvin’s brand voice and values.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in customer support, at least 3 years in a leadership role (startup or SaaS strongly preferred).
• You’ve built and led support teams — from hiring to coaching to creating a great culture.
• You can design processes that scale: ticketing, SLAs, escalation, feedback loops.
• You’re customer-obsessed and know how to balance empathy with speed.
• You’re fluent in support tools ( bonus points for knowing your way around Intercom) and love automating the boring stuff.
• You know your way around KPIs (CSAT, FRT, resolution time, deflection %) and can explain why they matter.
• You play well with others — CS, Product, and Engineering are your natural partners. You’re excited to be hands-on at first (yes, taking tickets) while building the foundation for scale. You thrive in startup mode: ambiguity, fast changes, no playbook.
• You communicate with clarity (and a little wit) — making sure our support voice feels warm, human, and HeyMarvin-y.
