Who You Are:
You are a customer-obsessed leader who thrives at the intersection of service, success, and operations. You know how to build high-performing teams that don’t just “triage” — they solve. You’re skilled at developing managers, creating scalable processes, and using customer insights to prevent issues before they become escalations. You’re energized by helping new customers find value quickly and by building a culture where frontline teams feel empowered, accountable, and proud of the experience they deliver.
As the Associate Director of the Customer Care Team, you will collaborate with customer-facing teams and managers to create win-win scenarios for stakeholders. You will lead, develop, and grow your team, bringing strategic thinking and organization to the role.
You will monitor and drive your team’s KPIs, thriving in a high-accountability environment and leveraging your senior-level expertise in managing individuals and teams.
As a strategic leader, you will develop scalable business processes and empower a team dedicated to guiding prospective customers toward their goals with the HighLevel platform. You will ensure exceptional engagement from the start of trials and foster a results-oriented, collaborative environment. By building a team of subject matter experts, you will provide customers with strategic insights, ensuring their success and alignment with business strategies.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Lead 3 Customer Care teams (30+ members) focused on delivering proactive, front-line resolution and exceptional customer experiences.
- Evolve Customer Care into a de-escalation center — resolving issues at the source rather than passing them downstream.
- Drive early adoption by monitoring customer health signals and proactively engaging at critical moments in the first 90 days.
- Ensure all team members are trained and certified in KO Call SOPs, Implementation Call SOPs, and other onboarding playbooks.
- Partner closely with Account Management, Customer Success, Support, and Product to ensure seamless customer handoffs and a consistent journey.
- Establish clear KPIs around time-to-resolution, CSAT, escalation deflection, and early adoption success, and pipeline creation
- Regularly review performance with frontline managers, coaching them to elevate their leadership and operational effectiveness.
- Champion process improvements, knowledge sharing, and automation that allow the teams to scale while improving customer outcomes.
- Act as the voice of the customer in leadership discussions, using frontline insights to influence product and CX strategy.
- Own capacity planning, headcount alignment, and forecasting to ensure the team is staffed to meet growing demand.
What You’ll Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, Care, or Support, with at least 3 years managing managers.
- Proven success leading large, multi-team organizations (20+ people) in high-growth SaaS or technology environments.
- Strong track record of turning reactive support models into proactive, resolution-focused organizations.
- Experience building de-escalation frameworks and measurable impact on reducing churn or escalation volumes.
- Operational excellence: skilled in SOP development, process design, and scaling through systems and tools.
- Deep understanding of customer experience metrics (CSAT, CES, NPS, churn, adoption) and how to drive them.
- Exceptional coaching ability — you build leaders who build great teams.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
- Data-driven, analytical mindset with the ability to translate insights into action.
- Resilient, positive, and passionate about helping customers succeed.
Experience/Education/Certifications Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, Management, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- MBA or advanced degree preferred but not required.
