Job description

The Role

As Support Operations Manager at Linktree, you'll own the systems, processes and data that power how we support 70+ million Linkers around the world. This is a 12-month fixed-term role, built for an experienced operator who can come in, diagnose quickly, and leave our support operation measurably faster, smarter and more scalable.

You'll partner closely with Customer Support leadership, Product, Engineering and Trust & Safety to design how work flows through our team, from routing and staffing to quality, tooling and AI-powered automation. You'll turn support data into clear priorities and make sure every Linker gets the right answer, fast.

Most of all, you'll help Linktree achieve our mission: to empower anyone to curate and grow their digital universe.

What You’ll Own

• BPO performance & partnership: Own the BPO relationship and day-to-day delivery, holding partner leaders accountable for service levels, productivity, quality and team development.
• Capacity & workforce planning: Forecast demand and translate workload, AI resolution and team availability into staffing requirements. Work with BPO leaders on schedules, coverage and hiring plans to balance service levels, quality and cost.
• Operating model: Own support workflows, routing, tiering and SLAs across AI and human support, improving how work moves between them.
• AI & automation: Own the ongoing performance and improvement of support AI, partnering with vendors and internal teams to improve resolution, customer experience and efficiency.
• Metrics & insights: Own performance reporting across BPO and AI, turning insights into operational improvements and clear priorities for Product and Engineering.
• Quality & incidents: Oversee QA and calibration across human and AI support, and lead the operational response to incidents and ticket surges.
• Tooling: Own the support tech stack, partnering with Engineering and vendors on workflows, integrations and improvements.
• Documentation & handover: Build clear playbooks, ownership and processes that sustain improvements beyond the 12-month term.

Who We're Looking For

• 5-7 years of experience in support operations, CX operations or a related field, including leading operational programs at a high-growth tech or consumer company.
• Deep expertise in support metrics, workforce management and capacity planning, with a track record of hitting service levels efficiently at scale.
• Hands-on experience administering support platforms (Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce Service Cloud or similar) and building workflows, routing and automations.
• Proven results deploying AI or automation in support (self-serve, bots, agent assist) with measurable impact on deflection, speed or quality.
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable building dashboards and models in spreadsheets and BI tools; SQL is a plus.
• A proven ability to influence cross-functional partners and senior leaders without direct authority, and to communicate clearly in writing.
• Available for a 12-month fixed-term engagement, based in the San Francisco or Los Angeles area.

Linktree is committed to providing a fair and competitive compensation package including cash, equity, and benefits. The base salary offered for this role is targeted at $175,000-$185,000 for roles based in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Final offers depend on multiple factors including location, experience, expertise, and role scope, and may vary from the range listed.

Our Story

We're on a mission to empower anyone to curate, grow, and monetize their digital universe. We created the "link in bio" category - and we're just getting started. From creators, artists, and entrepreneurs to global brands, we're redefining how people connect with their communities, showcase their content and promote products - all in one link.

Today, a community of 70+ million use Linktree, including icons like Adidas, TikTok, the UN Environmental Program, The NFL, Manchester United, World Central Kitchen, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and Selena Gomez. With 48,000 new accounts created every day, Linktree is the fastest-growing leader in our space.

We've teamed up with some of the world's biggest platforms including TikTok, Snap, YouTube, GoFundMe, Spotify, Google, Stripe, Reddit, Laylo, and Kajabi, to unify Linkers’ digital spaces, and we partner with retail brands Amazon, Lululemon, Nike, Target, Sephora, Lululemon, and more to share products they love.

We're a tight-knit, passionate team building best-in-class tools that make online presence simple, powerful, and yours. If you're excited by the idea of shaping a new category, setting the standard, and making space for everyone to be seen and succeed, we'd love to meet you.

Where and How We Work

We're a global, diverse team spread across continents with offices in London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and San Francisco. We work together flexibly and you can choose the setup that works best for you: fully remote or a hybrid mix of office and home.

We offer autonomy in how you structure your days and weeks. While we're mindful of time zones and occasionally collaborate outside the typical 9-5, we lean into async work to keep things flowing. Our culture is family-friendly and Zoom-casual where kids, pets, and delivery drivers are welcome.

• An annual wellbeing allowance to use on things like (but not limited to) fitness memberships, development courses, childcare, travel, charitable donations, pet insurance, home office set-up - the choice is yours!
• 100% coverage (and 80% for your dependents) of your monthly premiums for medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance for US-based employees.
• Employer contribution towards your retirement.
