About the Role
You'll be the person who brings order to the chaos when critical product issues hit—turning a high‑stakes customer escalation into a structured, confident path to resolution. When a customer hits a roadblock, you own the communication, cross‑functional coordination, and overall customer experience from the moment an issue is raised until it’s fully resolved.
What You'll Own
Customer Ownership & Advocacy
- Act as the primary, trusted point of contact for customers navigating high‑impact, cross‑functional product issues.
- Champion the customer’s voice internally while setting clear, grounded expectations externally regarding status, timelines, and next steps.
- Own the communication lifecycle, providing proactive, transparent updates that ensure customers never have to ask, “What’s the status?”
Resolution Coordination & Execution
- Own the lifecycle of an escalation from intake and business‑impact scoping through to successful internal resolution and customer validation.
- Coordinate directly with Product, Engineering, Commercial, and Professional Services to clear roadblocks, align on action plans, and keep resolutions moving forward.
- Manage the escalation path effectively, looping in leadership and managing high‑priority or after‑hours critical issues when the situation demands it.
Cross‑Functional Alignment
- Facilitate regular internal review sessions to keep Customer Success Managers, Product Managers, and Technical Support teams synced on priorities.
- Drive execution across technical teams without direct authority, keeping everyone focused on a customer‑first outcome.
Communication, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Develop clear, executive‑ready summaries and action plans for high‑priority customer issues and internal leadership.
- Track core operational metrics (aging, response times, escalation trends) and turn those insights into better workflows and smoother processes.
Qualifications
- 2–5 years of experience in Customer Success, Technical Support, Account Management, Project Management, or Operations.
- Track record managing complex customer communications, ideally dealing with high‑stakes escalations or enterprise SaaS environments.
- Experience operating within a fast‑paced environment where you balance multiple critical priorities simultaneously without losing footing.
- Industry expertise in Transportation, logistics, or supply chain technology is highly preferred.
Skills & Approach
- Exceptional communication instincts: de‑escalate tense situations with empathy, clarity, and follow‑through.
- Organizational agility: influence, collaborate, and drive accountability across cross‑functional technical teams without direct authority.
- Sharp problem‑solving: navigate ambiguity, dig into the business context of a technical issue, and translate it for different audiences.
- Tool fluency: comfortable working in platforms like Salesforce, Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, or similar CRM and work‑management systems.
- Familiarity with Agile product development processes is a major plus.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
Success Metrics

- Cycle times shrink: mandatory coordination and roadblock removal reduce resolution time.

- No cleanups required: issues are closed only after the customer has formally validated the fix.
