Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square POS, Square Stand and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

On Customer Success, our mission is to turn questions into commerce; time is the most precious resource for business owners, and every minute our sellers spend struggling is a minute that could be used to bring about economic change for themselves and their communities. Technical issues, such as hardware defects or bugs in our software, can be especially painful -- interrupting our sellers’ business operations and, in extreme cases, preventing them from accepting payments. 

We are seeking a purpose-driven leader, with an analytical mindset and an aptitude for process improvement, to elevate our Technical Support program. As the Head of Technical Support, you will lead a team of senior Customer Success Specialists and ensure the white-glove resolution of technical issues. You will set the vision and strategy for the program: building out world-class operations, driving customer satisfaction, and promoting employee success. In addition to leading your team to greatness, you will inspire greatness across the organization by using your team’s data and insights to analyze, communicate, and resolve high-impact opportunities to improve the customer experience. 

You will:

• Coach and mentor team members, with a focus on professional development and instilling a sense of pride and purpose in our work
• Establish the vision and strategy for Square’s Technical Support program, creating an inspirational and actionable roadmap that answers the question “where are we going and how will we get there?”
• Implement and improve standard operating procedures, creating highly efficient workflows that enable great customer outcomes
• Define and implement KPIs, ensuring we have meaningful measures of success for individual contributors and the holistic Technical Support program
• Introduce regular reporting on technical issues, providing quantitative and qualitative data on the trends and impact of products defects and bugs to stakeholders across the organization
• Address opportunities to improve skills and knowledge of Technical Support Specialists and frontline Advocates (agents) to drive first-contact-resolution and reduce erroneous escalations 
• Serve as a consultant and collaborator with product development and operational teams, influencing cross functional roadmaps and go-to-market plans with the customer experience in mind

• 5+ years relevant professional experience, with at 2+ years of experience leading others
• Extensive experience in process improvement and change management
• Excels at data visualization (Looker, Tableau, etc) and analysis (cost/benefit, root-cause, etc.)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to effectively influence and communicate at all levels of an organization
• Top-notch problem-solving and decision-making abilities
• Deep commitment to economic empowerment, with a passion for the customer experience

Even Better:

• Experience building and scaling escalation teams (Help Desk, Tier 2, Tier 3, Advanced Support, Technical Support, etc.)
• Experience and/or certifications in process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, etc.)
