The Role

At Sovos, we're transforming how companies around the world manage tax compliance, helping half of the Fortune 500 and thousands more stay ahead in a complex, ever-changing global regulatory landscape. As a Manager, Customer Support, you'll lead a team of support professionals to deliver consistent, high-quality service across all customer-facing channels. This role combines strong people leadership with a results-driven operational mindset, balancing team development, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration to protect customer satisfaction and drive business outcomes.

More specifically, you will:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Customer Support Analysts, Specialists, and Engineers, fostering a high-performance and customer-first culture through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and development conversations.
• Set clear performance expectations and KPIs, provide timely and constructive feedback, and promote a psychologically safe and inclusive environment where team members can raise concerns, share ideas, and continuously improve.
• Own the day-to-day operations of the support team, ensuring coverage, workload balance, and queue health across all support channels while monitoring team adherence to SLAs for first response, assignment, and resolution targets.
• Drive escalation management processes, ensuring escalated cases are handled with urgency, proper documentation, and root cause follow-through while maintaining high-quality ticketing hygiene within the CRM/ticketing system.
• Leverage AI tools to improve operations, identify and implement process improvements that reduce repeat contacts, improve resolution times, and eliminate friction for customers and agents.
• Own and report on key support KPIs including CSAT, SLA compliance, escalation rate, first response time, and case volume trends, analyzing operational data to identify patterns and translate insights into action plans.
• Serve as the primary operational liaison between Customer Support and teams including Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Professional Services, coordinating on incident management, escalations, and systemic issues impacting multiple customers.

What You Bring to Sovos

• You've built solid experience in customer support, customer service, or technical support roles, including at least a year in a people management or team lead capacity with direct responsibility for performance management.
• You can analyze operational data and translate findings into concrete process improvements that drive measurable outcomes.
• You have experience working with CRM and ticketing platforms (Salesforce experience is a strong plus) and understand how to maintain ticketing hygiene and documentation standards.
• You're organized, able to manage competing priorities, and comfortable working in dynamic environments where you'll influence cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
• You communicate clearly and effectively in English (spoken and written), with a customer-first mindset that comes through in meetings, reports, and cross-regional collaboration.
• You're comfortable leveraging AI-assisted tools to improve team workflows and enhance the customer experience.
• Experience in a SaaS, technology, or tax compliance environment, familiarity with ITIL or lean support processes, or working knowledge of e-invoicing and VAT/tax compliance are all valued but not required.
