About the role
The Support Manager will lead a high-tier team of specialists focused on the technical health, data integrity, and backend stability of the Crunchtime platform. This role is designed for a leader who thrives at the intersection of customer advocacy and systems engineering. You will be responsible for managing complex technical escalations, refining the "Support-to-Engineering" pipeline, and ensuring our customers’ mission-critical data remains accurate and connected across our ecosystem.
What you’ll do as a Support Manager
- Technical Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of Technical Support Specialists and Support Analysts. Foster a culture of "Root Cause Analysis," moving the team beyond surface-level ticket resolution to deep-tier system diagnostics.
- System Health & Data Integrity: Oversee the resolution of complex issues involving data synchronization, API behaviors, and third-party platform connections. Act as the final internal escalation point for system-wide technical hurdles.
- Process Engineering: Continuously optimize workflows between Support, Product, and Engineering. Implement sophisticated monitoring and alerting practices to identify platform issues before they impact the broader customer base.
- Technical Advocacy: Collaborate with Product Development to prioritize technical debt and bug fixes based on data-driven trends. Translate complex system limitations into actionable feedback for the product roadmap.
- Reporting & Technical Metrics: Develop and maintain metrics that go beyond volume.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner across the organization to provide technical expertise during high-stakes customer interactions and complex interactions.
What we’re looking for
- Experience: 3+ years of experience managing a technical support or "Support Engineering" team within a complex SaaS environment.
- Technical Fluency: A strong understanding of how cloud-based software interacts with external systems. Comfort discussing APIs, data mapping, logs, and database structures.
- Systems Thinking: The ability to troubleshoot issues that live "in between" platforms—understanding how a failure in one system impacts the data flow into another.
- Strategic Leadership: Proven ability to coach a team through high-pressure technical incidents while maintaining a focus on long-term process improvement.
- Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in data analysis, with the ability to use SQL or BI tools to identify patterns in system performance or ticket trends.
- Communication: Exceptional ability to bridge the gap between "Developer-speak" and "Customer-speak," translating complex technical failures into clear business impact.
Nice to haves
- Restaurant Technology: Familiarity with the unique technical challenges of the hospitality industry (POS systems, inventory data, or labor management).
- Scale Experience: Previous leadership in a high-growth cloud company ($100M+ revenue) supporting enterprise-level clients.

- Great mission-driven team members from diverse backgrounds with a strong company culture
- Competitive pay
- Flexible PTO
