Lead Support Engineer
The role seems pretty straightforward, and the company's Carreers page is pretty standard corporate fare. The main thing putting this in Tread Carefully is the lack of salary transparency.

I am reading these job duties, and y'all, "you will sit at the intersection of product, marketing and customer support," my ass. This role is three whole jobs. Does no one else work at this company?
Hey, this is exciting! I don't know if Vetcove read this Bad Job Bingo critique, but they've updated the title of this position to Vet Clinic Implementation Manager.
So...AI wrote this job description, and no one proofread / edited it? Cool.
Okay, for starters, none (save one) of the duties listed in this JD are Lead-level duties. They clearly want a discount Director/VP of Support. (And at $70k-$150k, we're talking a *real* discount.)
This, and the whole introductory paragraph, has some of the most flowery language to describe a middle manager role that I have ever read.
Genuinely, y'all, I don't think they know what Support is. I'm not being funny. I think someone is very confused. Or I am very confused. One of us is very confused.
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.
Well-defined (and compensated) role and the company calls out in the JD how much they value their Success team. Obviously depends on how they actually treat the team, but it's nice to see.
I don't know if the hiring manager is an immature manager or what's happening here, but whoever wrote this job description does not have a good grasp of what makes a CX professional successful in their work. The only thing keeping this out of BINGO is that the salary is decent.
Given the work this role will be doing and how often they will be working with senior leadership, I think it probably should have a more senior title and a slightly higher salary range.
Other than the casual ableism, this is a straightforward management role with a good compensation package.
Maybe they should have had Siena review this job listing before they posted it.
But I thought this is what Siena was for? Are you saying you need humans to support humans? Real food for thought.
Boy this job opening sure sounds like Support! But nah, can't be, they have their AI for that!
The salary range is interesting, to say the least – the low side is way too low, and I don't trust that the high side is actually on the table.
The duties of the role and title are badly misaligned – this should be a Director-level role.
So...this role is a Senior Manager, Strategic Customer Success managing Senior Customer Success Managers collaborating with Account Managers, Managing Directors and Customer Success Managers. Who's on first?
For a hybrid role in NYC, that seems like a low salary range. And there's a *new* two-for-one! Amazing, monday.com over here disrupting corporate red flags, love it.
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.
Y'all know by now that it doesn't sit well with me when leadership roles are well-compensated and frontline roles are not.
That salary is too low for what they want this role to do, especially considering it's not entry-level and they're a SaaS tech company.
Ah, so they want a discount manager. Cooooool.
