About the role

We're looking for a sharp, strategic support operator to own our most complex escalations and then systematically work to reduce them. This role won't have direct reports, but management skills over our T2 and T1 teams are an important part of the role.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years in customer support, with substantial time spent at a lead level
  • Demonstrated experience reducing escalation volume: you've identified a pattern, built the fix (SOP, macro, training), and measured the result
  • Experience enabling other tiers to handle more, whether through writing documentation or running training that demonstrably expanded what frontline or T2 agents could resolve
  • Strong cross-functional instincts: you've worked directly with Engineering, Compliance, or Legal to resolve issues, not just flagged them upward
  • Strong written communication. You can document a resolution path clearly enough that someone else can follow it without you in the room
  • Analytical enough to pull ticket data, spot a pattern, and present a clear, actionable point of view, not just a summary
More about this role

At Cardless, we're building a credit card and loyalty platform that consumer businesses use to engage their customers.

We value curiosity, humility, and intensity — we move fast and take outsized ownership. This is a place where a motivated, resourceful individual can have an enormous impact on our trajectory. We're headquartered in San Francisco, and have raised about $150M in equity funding from top venture capital firms including Spark Capital, American Express, Activant Capital, and more.

You'll handle our most complex cases: disputes with compliance implications, fraud scenarios that require cross-functional coordination, and edge cases that don't fit any existing playbook. But just...
