Are you a systems thinker with a passion for operations and a drive to make things better? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same? If so, we're looking for a Customer Operations Lead to join our team at blithequark, a cutting-edge AI startup revolutionizing the future of work.
**About blithequark**
At blithequark, we're on a mission to build a system that lets a single human manage 100x more work, done by both AI and people. We're not just building software – we're redefining how work gets done. With a strong focus on operational excellence, we're uniquely positioned to integrate all systems seamlessly and unlock an order-of-magnitude boost in productivity.
**About the Role**
As a Customer Operations Lead, you'll play a critical role in scaling and improving our support engine. You'll handle day-to-day execution, including coverage, ticket routing, team performance, and more. But that's not all – you'll also own the systems that make support run, including macros, workflows, QA reviews, onboarding, training, and more. This is a great fit if you're a high-agency, problem-solver who loves fixing broken things and wants to run a core function at a fast-moving startup.
**Responsibilities**
* Run the daily operations of the support team, including workload balancing, shift coverage, and on-call rotations

* Own the upkeep of the internal knowledge base and training resources
* Design and maintain dashboards to monitor support performance in real time
* Audit workflows regularly to eliminate bottlenecks and reduce manual work
* Coordinate with engineering and product to resolve high-priority bugs and edge cases
* Triage escalations and communicate cross-functionally to ensure timely resolutions
* Improve how we use AI in support, including LLM agent workflows and QA tooling
* Help manage vendor tools (e.g. Intercom, Front, Zendesk) and optimize usage and cost
* Partner with recruiting and CX leadership to forecast team growth and capacity
* Assist with onboarding and ongoing training of new support hires
**What We're Looking For**
* Strong systems thinking and ops instincts
* Extremely organized with great attention to detail
* Can own ambiguous problems and drive them to done
* Sharp communicator – clear in writing, fast on Slack
* Fast learner and very comfortable with new tools
* Bonus: background in support, biz ops, consulting, or process-heavy roles
* Bonus: experience with Zendesk, Intercom, Notion, Retool, Jira
* Bonus: SQL and Sheets fluency (not required)
* No ego. High ownership. Ready to do what it takes.
**Why This Role?**
* You'll be trusted with real ownership from day one
* You'll get exposure to AI systems, ops workflows, and fast decision cycles
* You'll help build the internal systems that power a scaling startup
* You'll work closely with product, eng, and exec teams
**What We Offer**
* Competitive base salary ($70k-$125k) and equity compensation
* Opportunity to work with top talent and learn fast
* Collaborative and dynamic work environment
* Flexible remote work options
* Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance
* 401(k) matching program
