Mission:

Design, launch and operate a 24 × 7, high‑availability support organization for Interface.ai’s mission‑critical Conversational & Agentic AI platform—ensuring financial‑grade reliability, world‑class customer experience, and flawless incident management as we scale to tens of millions in annual recurring revenue.

What You Will Do:

• Architect and implement an omnichannel (phone, chat, email) support model with tier‑1 / tier‑2 / tier‑3 workflows and real‑time SLA dashboards.


• Own incident management: triage alerts, coordinate cross‑functional war rooms, drive root‑cause analysis (RCA) and publish post‑mortems.


• Select and administer support tooling (e.g., Zendesk/Intercom, PagerDuty/Opsgenie, Statuspage, Knowledge‑base) and automate alerts into Slack.


• Collaborate with Customer Success and Finance to resolve billing or collections‑related escalations and reduce dispute‑driven DSO.


• Recruit, onboard and coach the first cohort of support engineers / agents; establish SOPs, runbooks and ongoing training programs.


• Define and track support KPIs—First Response Time, MTTR, CSAT, NPS, SLA compliance—and present monthly Support Health reports to executives and investors.


• Ensure all processes meet SOC 2, GLBA, PCI‑DSS and other regulatory requirements for U.S. financial institutions.


• Act as Voice of Customer, surfacing systemic issues and usability insights to Product & Engineering roadmaps.


• Continuously improve documentation, self‑service content, and AI‑powered support bots to deflect low‑complexity tickets.

What You Will Bring:

• 7 + years in B2B SaaS or fintech customer support with at least 3 years as the senior‑most on‑call leader or support manager.


• Proven track record building a support organization from the ground up in a high‑availability, regulated environment.


• Hands‑on expertise with ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk, Intercom), monitoring & paging tools (PagerDuty, Opsgenie) and knowledge‑base platforms.


• Deep understanding of ITIL / incident management best practices and root‑cause analysis methodologies.


• Familiarity with financial‑services compliance frameworks (SOC 2, GLBA, PCI‑DSS) and secure data‑handling standards.


• Data‑driven mindset with strong analytical skills; ability to translate metrics into actionable insights.


• Exceptional communication skills for executive, customer and engineering stakeholders; calm under pressure.


• Experience leading or participating in on‑call rotations across multiple time zones.


• Proficiency in applying prompt engineering with AI chatbots/co-pilots to deflect tickets, auto-generate knowledge-base articles, and speed RCA/post-mortem documentation while boosting support-agent productivity.

Compensation

• Base Salary: USD 130 000 – 160 000 (dependent on experience and geography) + Bonus. Exact compensation may vary based on skills and location.
