NOW HIRING: Program Manager, Product Support

Company: Automattic
Website: https://automattic.com
Headquarters: Global


We’re looking for an experienced product support specialist to work within the 24/7/360+ operations of our Happiness organization. You’ll work closely with our Director of Support Operations and with leaders across the company to guide and improve our product feedback practices.

Each month we have more than 100,000 interactions with customers across WordPress.com, Jetpack, and WooCommerce. We believe those represent thousands of opportunities to learn and to build a better product. You’ll be responsible for helping us turn those conversations into clear customer insights for our design, development, and marketing teams. Your core focus will be to guide a program of work across our Happiness organization that gives a clear and detailed voice to our customers, their challenges, and their successes.


We’re looking for someone with experience:

• Working across multiple product lines as part of a large (300+ person) support organization.
• Building efficient and effective reporting flows that deliver feedback from customer support interactions to product teams across the company.
• Working closely with product teams to understand what they need in testing and post-launch feedback efforts.
• Gathering and analyzing data to create a more holistic and customer-centric view of product usage.
• Balancing the need for quantitative measurement with the desire for clear qualitative feedback.
• Defining and reporting upon key metrics that evaluate how effectively products serve customer needs.
• Proficiency with WordPress is nice to have, though not required. Bonus points if you have experience working on a distributed team.

As a part of our globally distributed team you can live anywhere in the world. Effectiveness in this role will mean occasionally shifting your working hours outside of 9-5 and across weekends to best coordinate with our global team.
