Orderful | No comp given
Steph's Notes:
See the VP, Operations role for notes on the Careers page.
There are some weird formatting issues in this job description that weren't present in the VP role (very tiny font in the first three sections of the JD). It could be that the hiring manager is stretched thin, or there's no People Ops to speak of, as I'd like to think they would have caught this.
Compared with the VP, Customer Ops role, it's clear that much more thought and effort went into the VP JD. Each section is more abbreviated, and there are no The Opportunity or What Success Looks Like sections. In terms of transparency, this JD suffers without them.
This role does get a Why work with Orderful? section that was not in the VP role, but oddly, I think the addition hurts them rather than helps:
Competitive Compensation
I'll let you guess why.
Lifestyle Work From Home Benefit
Remote Work
Flexibility
Yes, you're reading that right: three separate bullets that say basically the same thing. It's like a Greek chorus of things that are not benefits.
Weekly Yoga
This is a remote position.
Having said all that, this role's responsibilities are well-scoped and make sense for a Director role, as do the requirements, which distinguish it well enough from the VP position.
The application also does an interesting thing: it offers prewritten options to indicate your experience level for various requirements, which I think is a neat alternative to having candidates write essay responses.
If it weren't for the lack of salary transparency, this would still go in Eh, It's Probably Fine, but alas. You know the drill.

About the role
As the Director of Customer Support, you will lead the strategy and operating model for three distinct functions: Integration, Onboarding, and Post Go-Live Support. Your mission is to build a process-driven, AI-enabled organization that scales safely while exceeding customer expectations. You will act as the critical link between the customer and our technical teams, transforming support signals into structured insights for Product and Engineering to drive long-term platform improvements.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Operating Model: Define and govern support structures, escalation paths, and cross-functional handoffs to ensure a seamless customer journey from onboarding through production.
- Performance & SLA Accountability: Own core CX outcomes including TTFR (<60m), TTR (<1d), and CSAT (>95%), using weekly trend analysis and corrective action plans to maintain excellence.
- AI-Enabled Support Governance: Implement and oversee AI-driven Tier-1 triage and self-service automation, ensuring accuracy, safety, and clear escalation paths for complex edge cases.
- Product & Engineering Feedback Loop: Replace fragmented feedback with a structured, revenue-weighted pipeline that quantifies customer needs and identifies root-cause themes for product prioritization.
- Resource & Capacity Planning: Design global coverage models (including US, Canada, and EU) and staffing plans to manage variable ticket volumes and complexity.
- Operational Safety & "Managed Hacks": Establish a governed system for documenting and lifecycle-managing custom workarounds (e.g., Workato flows, scripts) to minimize technical debt and risk.
- Support Playbook Library: Build and maintain a standardized library of responses and playbooks to reduce resolution variance and improve first-contact resolution rates.
Requirements
- Established Support Leader: A proven track record of leading multi-function Support or Technical Operations organizations within high-growth B2B SaaS environments.
- Operational Architect: Accomplished at building scalable processes, defining rigorous SLAs, and implementing reporting cadences that drive team accountability.
- Technical Domain Expertise: Deep experience supporting integration-heavy products (APIs, EDI, iPaaS) and managing complex production incident patterns.
- Cross-Functional Catalyst: Demonstrated ability to translate support data into actionable insights that influence Product and Engineering roadmaps.
- Strategic Capacity Modeler: Practiced in forecasting demand and designing global support coverage models across multiple time zones.
Preferred Qualifications
- AI Implementation: Experience deploying and governing AI tools for triage, knowledge automation, or support copilots.
- Premium Support Design: Background in building and packaging tiered support offerings without creating a services-heavy dependency.
- Technical Background: Early-career experience in Engineering or Product Management is highly valued.
