Customer Support Lead - USDS
Responsibilities
About the Team
Our Customer Support Team is responsible for providing timely, high-quality support to the TikTok community. Be it a forgotten account login credential or a technical issue, we provide friendly, on-brand resolutions 7 days/week. We're looking for a self-motivated people leader to join our Scottsdale, AZ office.
Reporting to the Customer Support Manager, the Customer Support Operations Lead will guide a team of 12-15 Associates in delivering best-in-class user experience. This role is for a passionate and people-focused leader who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and is motivated to drive impactful change and continuous operational improvement.
This role performs a critical function that supports our efforts to address objectionable or disturbing content. Content that this team interacts with includes images, video, and text related to every-day life, but it can also include (but is not limited to) bullying; hate speech; child abuse; sexual assault; torture; bestiality; self-harm; suicide; and murder.
It is possible that this role will be exposed to harmful content on a daily basis.
In order to enhance collaboration and cross-functional partnerships, among other things, at this time, our organization follows a hybrid work schedule that requires employees to work in the office 3 days a week, or as directed by their manager/department. We regularly review our hybrid work model, and the specific requirements may change at any time.
