Customer Support Team Lead
Hybrid- Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
Operations
Job description
At Source, we are supporting the best greenhouse growers in the world to help them scale their operations and become more successful. We do this by building software and AI solutions that help growers to more efficiently and effectively manage their day-to-day operations. By doing this, we are accelerating the global adoption of efficient and robust food systems which will make fruits and vegetables available and affordable to more people in a sustainable way.
Our values are the foundation of our commitment to achieving our mission of empowering growers. Curiosity at our core drives us to explore new possibilities and remain flexible and open. We think and act like owners, taking responsibility and aiming for excellence in all we do. Embracing a shared adventure fosters collaboration and unity, while a growing over comfort mindset ensures we are constantly evolving and improving. Being purpose-driven anchors our actions, ensuring that every effort is aligned with our greater goals. These values are essential, guiding us in our journey and shaping our collective success.
One of our goals is to provide the most dedicated support possible to the growers on our platform. Through its Customer Success, Onboarding and Support domains, the Customer Operations team aims at helping customers from the moment they adopt our solution until they successfully use it for scaling their business. The Support team is a pivotal part of this. With a team of 5, the Support team ensures that our customers know exactly how to use the product, have a place where they can ask their questions and are proactively notified if something goes wrong or if a new functionality requires their attention. The Support team is also a key resource for our Product and Engineering teams to gain deeper insights on how our software is being used and how we can improve our customer experience.
As our Support Team Lead, you are the primary responsible person for our global Support function. This means that you are focused on building, developing and retaining a high performance culture and team, take ownership of key support metrics and build out the processes, tools and resources required to run a great Support function such as developing our knowledge base, optimising our support channels or improving our performance management processes Next to this, you like to get your hands dirty and really lead from the front. This may sometimes mean that you run a first-line Support shift yourself to fill a gap or simply to get first-hand experience with the questions of our customers, or that you do a content deep dive on some of our new products or functionalities to ensure that the Support team can be instructed in the best way possible.
What we would love you to get excited about:
Working in a truly purpose driven AgTech scale-up that supports agricultural experts (growers) in the core of their day-to-day operation
Being in a pivotal position to achieve a high-quality customer experience
Leading, managing and coaching a team of Support specialists
