Team Manager jobs in United States

Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly, with loads of opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for a Customer Support Team Lead to join us at INSHUR! We’re based in Brighton, and our company embraces a hybrid working model, allowing you to thrive in both collaborative office settings and the comfort of your own home. You’ll have the opportunity to work remotely while also connecting with your colleagues at our Brighton office at least once a week, fostering a dynamic and supportive environment.

You’ll be working on re-inventing insurance in exciting markets across multiple territories including the UK, US, and the Netherlands, with plans to expand into new European countries.

Supported by (and reporting to) the Head of Customer Operations, you'll be joining a friendly team of 10 who believe in delivering a world class service experience to differentiate INSHUR from your average Insurance company.

We value high performance and care deeply about making INSHUR a place where everyone is building something special, that we can all be proud of, while enjoying the ride.

As a Customer Support Team Lead you will be responsible for leading and developing a team of Customer Support Associates. You’ll coach, support, and motivate them to deliver exceptional service while ensuring smooth operations and continual improvement of our customer experience.

• Team Leadership: Guide and mentor the Customer Support team to meet SLAs and KPIs while fostering a positive, high-performing culture.
• Escalations & Quality: Handle complex customer calls, complaints, and quality-assurance call audits to maintain world-class standards.
• Knowledge Base Management: Build and maintain our self-service Knowledge Base to empower customers and reduce friction.
• Systems & Tools: Troubleshoot and optimise customer service platforms such as Zendesk and AWS to ensure efficient operations.
• Development & Support: Conduct regular 1:1s, provide career development feedback, and cover key administrative tasks when needed.

We don’t have a definite checklist of skills – our hiring process is much more about aptitude and passion than ticking boxes. So don’t worry if you haven’t used a particular tool or checked off all the listed skills and experience.

That said, below is a guideline of skills that we think would make you successful in this role:

• At least 1 year of experience in a similar team-lead or supervisory role.
• Fluent in English (French, Spanish, or Dutch are a plus).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Technical proficiency with customer service tools (e.g., Zendesk, AWS) and experience managing Knowledge Bases.
• Strong problem-solving ability and analytical mindset.
• Experience working in a regulated environment.
• Ability to prioritise, multitask, and adapt while maintaining high standards.

…these additional skills that could set you apart

• A natural motivator and great communicator who inspires others.
• Creative problem solver with curiosity and a love of learning.
• Demonstrated success driving continuous improvement in a fast-growing, international environment.

• Thrive navigating ambiguity and finding clarity in uncertain situations.
• Take pride in being accountable and owning your responsibilities.
• Enjoy a fast-paced environment where change happens quickly.
• Are solutions-focused and driven to overcome challenges.
• Embrace resilience and adapt to setbacks with a positive attitude.
• Are intellectually curious, constantly seeking to learn, explore new ideas, and not afraid to question and improve your understanding.

• Prefer a more structured, slow-moving environment.
• Feel most comfortable when tasks and processes are clearly defined from the start.
• Struggle with handling multiple challenges at once or adapting to frequent changes.
• Tend to stick strictly to your defined role and avoid contributing outside of your responsibilities.

• Screen & Intro: 30-minute video call with the Talent Team to discuss the role and your experience.
• First Interview: 60-minute video call with the Director of Operations and People Operations Lead to delve into the role, including technical questions and team fit questions.
• Case Study: A brief take-home task followed by a 45-60 minute in-person interview with the Director of Customer Operations and a stakeholder to review the case study and assess role fit.
• We encourage you to ask questions about the role and the company throughout the hiring process. We believe that this is as much an opportunity for you to interview us as it is for us to interview you.

Our budget for this role is £32,500 - £35,000 and we will take into account any previous experience and location of work when agreeing on the final offer.

We offer all our employees stock options and we will pay into your pension monthly. We've also built a benefits package that invests in our people’s long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing. Here’s a sample of what this includes:

• 30 days of holiday annually, plus bank holidays
