Candidates must have at least 2 years of frontline leadership experience in customer service, preferably within a startup or tech company. A minimum of 1 year of direct people management or supervisory experience is required. Proven ability to manage and develop a team, driving measurable performance improvements, is essential. Customer service experience is necessary, with a demonstrated ability to adapt and empathize with customers to de-escalate situations and offer solutions. A basic understanding of tech platforms and the ability to learn new ones quickly is needed, with prior Zendesk experience being preferred. Candidates should be comfortable operating in ambiguous, high-velocity environments with a proactive and resourceful approach, and willing to take a hands-on approach to problem-solving. Intellectual curiosity and a data-driven mindset are important, along with the ability to analyze performance metrics and implement improvements. Previous experience in a healthcare or clinical setting, or familiarity with the dental industry, are considered additional assets.
The Clinical Support Team Lead will supervise and coach a team of front-line associates, guiding best practices to achieve optimal customer outcomes. They will be responsible for overall team performance and KPIs, including managing the team, coaching, and providing customer service guidance. Responsibilities include understanding, tracking, and reporting on KPIs such as productivity, accessibility, and quality, as well as upholding performance standards and delivering feedback in 1:1 meetings. The role involves working with the QA team to audit and deliver actionable agent feedback, identifying process gaps, and building SOPs to close them. Additionally, the team lead will identify operational bottlenecks, propose scalable solutions, and collaborate with cross-functional teams for implementation. Developing, maintaining, and optimizing SOPs to ensure consistency, efficiency, and scalability is key. The role requires independently resolving issues using non-standard approaches and root cause analysis, and using data analysis to positively impact the area of ownership.
