at Togetherwork

🏢 About Togetherwork

Togetherwork is a rapidly growing $250M SaaS business with over 33 specialized software applications serving diverse vertical markets. What makes them unique is their mission-driven approach to helping communities and businesses thrive through tailored solutions, combined with their 'work hard, play hard' culture centered in their new Austin headquarters. Someone might want to work here because they're entering an exciting growth phase with opportunities to scale processes while maintaining a customer-delight focus across a diverse ecosystem.

About This Role

This Customer Support Team Lead role at Gingr (a Togetherwork company) involves managing 6-8 direct reports across three support tiers while actively serving as a senior agent yourself. It's impactful because you'll drive process improvements during a scaling period, manage escalations across phone/email/chat channels, and directly mentor agents to maintain exceptional service as demand increases. You'll collaborate closely with the Customer Support Manager and cross-functional teams to shape the department's growth trajectory.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing team metrics and prioritizing escalations from overnight support tickets, followed by hands-on handling of complex Tier 3 cases. You'd conduct one-on-one coaching sessions with direct reports, collaborate with the Customer Support Manager on scaling initiatives, and spend afternoon hours actively monitoring chat/phone queues while documenting process improvements for the growing team.
