Head of Customer Support and Call Center

Head of Customer Support (Technical & Operations) We are seeking a high-caliber, technically-proficient Head of Customer Support to build our support department from the ground up. This is a 'root-level' leadership position. You will not just manage a team; you will architect the systems, automate the workflows, and establish the physical office of our support operations. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between high-level customer empathy and modern technical execution. You must be comfortable working with LLMs, AI-driven automation, and complex call routing configurations. You aren't expected to code, but you must have the technical prowess to configure modern tools without waiting for a developer to hold your hand.

An Architect, Not Just a Manager - You prefer building systems and teaching others rather than just following a pre-set manual. Calm Under Pressure - You maintain a high level of 'stress-resistance' and can navigate complex customer disputes without losing focus.
