Short on time? Summary below

• Who you are: An experienced, proactive Customer Support Manager who’s excited about a founding role at a B2B2C API product company, supercharging health data for millions

• Ownership: All frontline customer support queries at Junction. You’ll spend half your time being hands-on unblocking customers and the other building out the function

• Time zone: Remote within the U.S., but we are only hiring candidates physically based in EST/EDT time zones

• Reporting to: our Head of Operations, Aditya

   

Why do we need this role

Our customer base is rapidly expanding so we now need someone owning all frontline customer tickets.

Today customer tickets typically fall under a few buckets:

1) Operational/logistical questions around patient lab orders and results

2) API/integration related questions

3) General support queries such as billing, new product features. etc (~10%).

Right now, customer support is being managed by a few different team members, including Lab Operations team, our dedicated Customer Engineer Tiffanie, and Naiara in Customer Success. You’ll be responsible for scaling the support function, alongside customer engineering to make sure we take a tech focused approach. This is a founding role, so we need you to be hands on with customer tickets from day 1 whilst you build for the future.

What you’ll be doing from day 1

• Managing customer support: You’ll be owning all customer support across our various channels that currently flow into our ticketing tool Pylon. We currently offer support through Slack, email and in-app, Monday-Friday 9-5 pm EST, with plans to extend coverage and modalities over time.

• Responding to customers: You’ll be hands-on responding to customer tickets for around 50% of your time to begin with, including handling any escalations and routing tickets to the appropriate internal teams. You will need to get intimately familiar with our product which consists of both the lab ordering/resulting and device integration APIs and processes (see documentation here), as well as lab partners and vendors that we work to provide our services.

• Building for the future: You’ll be responsible for building workflows and our customer support playbook, with a focus on reducing queries through self serve options and exploring new features on our tooling platform to improve our core metrics. You will constantly be exploring AI capabilities to improve customer experience while driving down costs

• Monitoring our response rates and customer satisfaction: We need you in the data on our response times, setting up dashboards and making sure we can consistently hit our SLA's of same day for the first response and 24 hours to a resolution. You will also collect data and improve our understanding on other core metrics like customer satisfaction scores.

   

What this role isn’t responsible for but will work closely with to maintain a seamless customer experience

• Lab Testing Operations team that will handle operational queries related to lab result issues

• Customer Engineering that will handle escalated technical queries

• Customer Success team that owns product utilisation, onboarding and contract queries with the customer
