Customer Operations Manager
It seems like a neat role, and the pay and benefits are appropriate (and no mention of attention to detail). Solid Eh, It's Probably Fine!
Roles labeled as supervisor, lead, or manager, or that involve leading one or more individual contributors and being responsible for their professional development and work products.

Friends, the way I laughed. Funny uh-oh, not funny ha-ha. Run! Run away from this egotistical, self-deceiving micromanager!
I have to say, this is a great job to kick off this BJB batch. I'm really enjoying all these green flags.
My opinions about the gig economy aside (which are mixed—I see the benefits and the considerable downsides), DoorDash's Careers page hero is very, very red and legit hurts my eyes.
I do like their focus on actually pitching themselves to candidates as a good place to work—that's refreshing, especially after the stinkers in BINGO and Seriously, Maybe Don't.
Automatic BINGO! Damn, I don't think that's ever happened so fast. (It's the first thing you see on Ramp's Careers page).
You are an HR company. Why can't you define what a fast-paced environment means? I'd think you'd be better at this.
Pitiful. I see they only care that you're eating at work. Go home to your family and be hungry, I guess.
We've rapidly ascended through the atmosphere and are now in the cold, dead vacuum of space.
Seems great. We get a little more information about the seniority of this role, so I don't really have any concerns about the responsibilities, and the pay seems great for the region.
Damn, I think this would be a high Eh, It's Probably Fine if it had salary transparency, but it doesn't. That's a big bummer, because I think there are a lot of positive cultural signals, and it would be a fun, meaty role for the right person. I reluctantly place this in Tread Carefully.
Whatever. You know what I'd say here if I weren't so goddamned tired. You know, from all the fucking capitalism.
The duties are well-articulated and reasonable for the role. I think it really is fine? And the requirements are all normal too, the benefits section actually contains benefits, and the salary is great at $115,000 - $143,000.
A fun environment in which you have to remain calm and positive in all situations? Sure, that checks out.
The new JD is much shorter (I've pasted it below, above the old one), but it has many of the same problems as the original. It should still be a more senior title, it still doesn't list any actual benefits, and there's still no salary transparency. In BINGO it remains!
It's probably a little pathetic how easy it is to get me on your side as an AI company. Oh, you're doing the bare minimum? WOULD YOU LIKE A COOKIE?
Honestly, this job description is pretty forgettable. It's not terrible, but it's not good either; candidates get very little information about the structure of the team they'd be leading, and the only hint at culture we get is a single bullet about the office being pet-friendly.
Blacklane's Careers page is pretty bare-bones, with very little actual useful information, not unlike this job description!
For roles in companies like these, upsides for some can be downsides for others: they're often really old-school working environments that tend to favor stability over rapid innovation. You skip a lot of the startup bullshit, but obviously, Business Granddaddies come with their own kind of bullshit.
This role will already be leading the whole Support function, that it's not already at least a manager-level role is, frankly, absurd.
There are two different job titles in this job description, Manager, Customer Success and Customer Success Manager. Which one refers to this role specifically? Your guess is as good as mine.
I get that these roles will have some overlap, and seniority may be the biggest differentiator, but I dunno. It strikes me as odd and makes me wonder if they are entirely sure about the team's structure.
While this feels like it could be a young company still trying to figure out its culture and hiring practices, there are still some red flags that are hard to ignore, so I think it still belongs in Tread Carefully.
Seems like an awesome role with equally awesome pay.
