Customer Support Lead - Quality Assurance

Mercury is working to turn banking* into something like magic for a really wide range of startup businesses. A key piece of the magic we’ve built thus far has been smart, product-driven support, and we’d like to add a thoughtful lead to the team to help us continuously augment our support experience as we scale quickly. 

You’ll focus on managing your own small cohort of QA analysts, while working on impactful projects to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the support team as a whole. You’ll also be working closely with our engineering, design, business operations, and compliance teams to improve our product and general customer-facing processes. 

We have 200,000+ businesses on Mercury and are growing every day, so you’ll need to understand how to create durable processes and tools that work at scale. And while users might think we have a beautifully simple product, there’s quite a bit of complexity under the hood.  The US banking system isn’t easy to interface with, so you’ll need to be extremely competent in solving fairly technical issues, and have the ability to mentor others on how

*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.

Here are some specific things you’ll do on the job:

• Lead a small team of QA analysts, managing performance while fostering a team culture of support, excellence and accountability

• Be a key partner in the overall CS experience strategy, ensuring that our programs, initiatives and outputs are meeting our high standards 

You should:

• Have 2+ years of experience directly managing people

• Have 3+ years of experience in a Quality Assurance environment

• Have 4 - 8 years of experience in Customer Experience (CX) organizations

• Have demonstrated program management experience and autonomously building Quality Assurance programs, driving decision-making and consensus, managing multiple stakeholders, executing projects, and rolling out processes from the ground up

• Be comfortable navigating and managing change in a quickly growing, dynamic environment
