Overview:

The Support Lead ensures that Jama’s customers have a phenomenal experience with our product and our support team. Are you a leader and a problem-solver? Do you like supporting others on your team to improve the customer experience? Here’s your opportunity to do significant work by providing extraordinary support to your technical teams while contributing to making Jama Software one of the best places to work. As a Support Lead, you provide the appropriate level of customer service and support through all service channels. You consistently take initiative and are motivated to do what’s best for the customer. In this role you report to the Manager of Customer Support.

Who you are:

You are a life-long learner who develops and maintains subject matter expertise of Jama Software, support processes, policies, systems, and tools. You’re an excellent communicator who is experienced in swiftly onboarding new personnel and encouraging to create solutions that meet our customers’ specific needs. You enjoy building relationships and developing talent. You are adaptable and adept at discovering and shifting to fulfill customer needs as they are uncovered. You are passionate at collaborating, within Customer Care and across Jama.

What you’ll Own

You will own onboarding and development against set metrics. This involves training, coaching, and guiding the team to meet specific goals as defined by leadership. You will also be responsible for ensuring standards for productivity and quality are achieved. You will help set the direction and culture of the Support team by leading individual and team performance expectations and goals, providing individual mentoring feedback sessions, and frequent one-on-ones that focus on improving customer satisfaction.

You will also build, review, and plan technical and procedural documentation. Most meaningfully, you will provide the team with all knowledge of tools and policies to optimally integrate them into Jama Software and specifically into the Customer Care culture. Be available to respond to the team within a reasonable amount of time, even during their staggered shifts (evenings and weekends as needed).

• Strong leadership skills which encourage confidence with team members and customers (internal and external).
• Able to empathize with people to understand their needs and desires when supporting customers’ needs
• Can identify and implement improvements to internal workflows – partner with leadership to use automation and technology to creatively tackle problems and scale Customer Support workflows and tooling.
• Strong business sense and intuition: able to perceive future business needs and act upon those needs with very little direction.
