Hyderabad, India Zobaze Full time

Company Overview


Zobaze is a rapidly growing B2B SaaS company that has crossed the Product-Market Fit (PMF) stage. We are now transitioning from the 0 to 1 phase to the 1 to 10 growth phase, focused on building and optimizing SOPs and processes. We provide solutions to streamline business operations for SMEs and unorganized business owners, and we’re looking for a dynamic Customer Support Lead to help us scale.


Role Overview

The Customer Support Lead will be responsible for setting up and optimizing customer support processes to scale efficiently. This role involves creating SOPs, setting up reporting mechanisms, selecting the right tools, and leading the customer support team to ensure seamless and cost-effective support operations. The ideal candidate will have prior experience in a similar startup environment and a strong understanding of how to build and scale customer support functions.


Key Responsibilities


Technical Skills


Tool Selection & Implementation

  • Evaluate and finalize the right customer support tools (e.g., Intercom) that align with the needs of a growing CS team.
  • Replace existing tools that do not meet broader requirements, such as transitioning from HelpCrunch to a more suitable platform.


Process Setup & Optimization

  • Develop and implement processes for ticket management, including the integration with backend teams to ensure timely resolution.
  • Establish review mechanisms to optimize Playstore reviews and responses across multiple channels like email/ social.
  • Initiate outbound chats if required, as the current focus is solely on responding to inbound queries/chats.
  • Ensure the resolution of issues within agreed SLAs.


Customer Feedback Analysis

  • Identify patterns in customer feedback, including feature requests and competitor insights, and communicate the crisp market insights to the leadership team.
  • Be the Voice of the Customer: Identify and drive changes in product and company processes to increase efficiency while improving the customer experience.


AI and Automation Implementation

  • Set up processes that can leverage AI to handle a significant portion of customer queries, aiming to resolve at least 30% of issues without human intervention.
  • Scale the CS function to handle more queries without increasing the number of physical agents.


Knowledge Management

  • Own online and offline support documentation and work with marketing and product teams to consistently update it.
  • Ensure that the knowledge base is updated in real-time and that customer support agents are upskilled with new product launches and feature updates.
  • Constantly improve the percentage of customer queries answered by guiding them to online documentation and the percentage of queries resolved using offline documentation or the knowledge base.


Measure Effectiveness of Customer Success

  • Define operational metrics for the team and establish a system for tracking these metrics.
  • Create a cadence for review within the team and expose a subset of metrics to the executive team/ company.
  • Measure the effectiveness of support provided by your team using KPIs and metrics around response times, response quality, and the effectiveness of documentation. Publish these metrics internally.


Managerial Skills


Ownership, Leadership & Team Building

  • A strong sense of ownership and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Build and lead the customer support team, including recruitment, training, and performance management.
  • Recruit, hire, develop, and retain a high-quality team to meet forecasted demand.
  • Drive the vision for customer experience across inbound and outbound customer channels, including social media.


Collaboration & Strategic Influence

  • Collaborate with Customer Success, Engineering, and other internal groups to deliver services and solutions that delight our customers.
  • Influence key metrics such as retention and FTP conversions by ensuring the team delivers timely and accurate communication, building customer trust.
  • Develop strategies to manage 24/7 global customer queries while minimizing costs.


High-Value Query Management

  • Personally handle and resolve queries and blockers for high-ticket-value resellers.


Reporting & Visibility

  • Set up a reporting mechanism to give the leadership team visibility into daily vitals and the health of the CS function.
  • Create and track OKRs and leading metrics necessary to monitor the progress of the CS team.


Continuous Improvement

  • Stay updated with industry best practices and continuously influence the leadership to adapt and improve the CS function.


Qualifications


  • Proven experience in setting up and scaling customer support processes in a startup environment.
  • Strong knowledge of customer support tools and their implementation.
  • Experience in managing and optimizing review processes.
  • Ability to lead and develop a high-performing customer support team.
  • Strong analytical skills to interpret customer feedback and derive actionable insights.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.


Preferred Experience
