Customer Success Operations Manager
Ding ding ding, we have a (BINGO) winner.
Roles labeled as Head or Director of a CX function, or that involve being responsible for the business outcomes of an entire CX function, department, or division (regardless of size).
Ding ding ding, we have a (BINGO) winner.
This whole JD is a sloppy mess, but hey, at least the pay's good?
Friends. You're in sales. You know pretty words like "competitive," "generous," and "comprehensive" mean nothing unless there's data to back them up. What are the numbers? Tell me the numbers!
It is so infuriating when companies want the credit of giving a salary without actually giving the salary, which is such utter bullshit, especially from a company with stated values of "Trustworthiness" and "Accountability."
Okay, so look. This could just be me. I am highly suspicious and cynical, I fully own that. But everything in this job description just comes across as slightly off. Just, like, this side of reasonable.
Hoo boy. Why does this read to me as "We will give you no resources, we will change the parameters of success constantly, and we will offer little to no support toward meeting your strategic goals. Good luck!"
Oh wow, how unique brightwheel is! Because most startups move like molasses and expect their people to come in and fail immediately and repeatedly.
Nope, that's...that's the salary. That's the real salary in reality.
This is essentially a Director role with engineer duties, and right now, the salary is only compensating for one of those things.
It seems like a pretty straightforward Director role, but this is one of those times where playing Bad Job Bingo is more an art than a science because I'm getting a weird vibe from this job description.
Not provide fast responses and resolutions or excellent customer service, but fast TIMES and SCORES. Goddamn.
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like they're asking this Director position to do a lot. It almost reads as if they asked ChatGPT for a Director of Support & Ops job description and then didn't whittle it down at all to fit this specific role.
Y'all, the noise I made when I saw "CX Director, MeUndies" in the #jobs channel in ElevateCX. WOOOOOOOOOO. Okay, for real. I can do this. I am a serious professional.
Overall, while I don't think there are any major flags, the USD salary range is a little low for a Senior Director role of this type, so I'm going to put it in Eh, It's Probably Fine.
Seems fine. Sounds like a very call center-y, corporate role, which is fine if that's your thing. Benefits seem good, pay range is good (if broad).
I don't think they really know why they're hiring a Director of Support, which will likely make actually working in this role unpleasant, to say the least.
I think it would probably be fine, except there's no salary transparency, so into Tread Carefully it goes. Womp Womp.
Man, I really want to put this in Eh, It's Probably Fine, but alas, they claim a competitive salary without then sharing the salary. So – well, you know how this ends.
If you've been taking a shot every time they exclaim you should be energized by something, you are already drunk and we haven't even gotten out of the introduction.
They mention that this role has global responsibilities a few times, and as much as I appreciate the close relationship with Support, considering the scale of the work, I think this should really be a VP-level title.
How good are you at plastering on a smile while a middle-aged white dude is screaming at you?
The company has an informative Careers page and the job duties make sense overall, but I'm going to say Tread Carefully for this one.
The company sounds fine and they have a solid Careers page. However, based on the job description, it's not totally clear why this is a Director-level role, and some of the job duties don't fit with a Success role.
If this is a global senior leadership position (as described in the JD), it really should be at the VP-level or higher. Otherwise, everything seems normal enough, although I'm not sure about the salary range – seems low for a position at this level that's also hybrid in New York.
