Director, Support
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.
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).

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.
But I thought this is what Siena was for? Are you saying you need humans to support humans? Real food for thought.
One day I'll have a whole Bad Job Bingo session without a SaaS company claiming to change the world but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
It's a call center director position at a corporate giant, so, you know. Do with that what you will.
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.
I'm not putting this in Tread Carefully because anything in the job is jumping out at me specifically – let's say it's a general wariness about Google's working environment and the fact that, again, the company doesn't address how they protect the mental health of those working in Trust & Safety.
This isn't necessarily a red flag given the nature of First Due's product (software for EMS and Fire agencies), but when I read this I thought for sure they'd have a great compensation package to go with this requirement! But nope, they don't.
I'm posting this here because 1) A CX professional would absolutely kill it in this role, and 2) GET THAT MONEY.
Ehhhhh. Look. Most people want to do the very best they can, and yes, overachieve. But I am immediately suspicious of any company that wants to codify an employee doing more than what they're being paid for.
If I score this strictly, it could be a BINGO, but I'm not going to. Honestly, for the right person, going in with their eyes open (and assuming the pay doesn't suck)? It could be an interesting, meaty role.
"You want to be with the best" -- No. Throw me in the dumpster. Those trash pandas are my real family.
