Customer Support Manager

Avive Solutions, Inc. is a growth stage Automated External Defibrillator (AED) company with a connected response system that is rapidly gaining market share. We are a mission driven team that is quite literally saving lives. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and we are on a mission to change that! We are a dynamic organization that builds elegant, creative solutions to solve complex problems. Ultimately, our mission is for all cardiac arrest victims to have rapid access to life-saving defibrillation.

Avive is taking a fresh approach to addressing this decades-old problem by innovating AED technology, coupled with a first-of-its-kind software platform solution to enable a quicker and more streamlined response to SCA emergencies. We believe that this unique combination of deploying advanced yet still accessible hardware, and software, has the potential to revolutionize out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response and massively impact SCA survival rates.

We are seeking a Customer Support Manager to lead and elevate our inbound call center operations, customer product support, new customer onboarding experience, and unmanaged / small-account retention and success workflows.

This role is a critical part of our Customer Success organization. As a player-coach, you'll actively support customers while recruiting, developing, and managing a high-performing support team. You will ensure we meet (and exceed) service SLAs, improve operational efficiency, and deliver an exceptional customer experience across every interaction.

We need someone who thrives in a fast-growing environment, rolls up their sleeves, and can build scalable processes from the ground up. This is a highly cross-functional role that works closely with Engineering, Product, Quality, Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Business Systems.
