Tablet Command builds software that matters. We are the emerging leader in incident response and management solutions for public safety agencies in the US and Canada. Our iPad app is in the hands of firefighters and other first responders while they respond to emergency incidents. We deliver an intuitive, easy-to-use, and, above all, robust and reliable software solution that improves outcomes.

Tablet Command Enterprise Service is in use by thousands of fire service professionals across hundreds of fire departments throughout North America. Our customers include San Francisco, San Diego, Denver, Charlotte, and departments in California, Colorado, Missouri, Florida, and Canada. We are growing rapidly in other regions as well.

Tablet Command is a remote team within the company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Preferred time zones are US (Hawaii to East Coast).

As a Customer Support Manager, you will be responsible for leading our customer support operations, ensuring our public safety customers receive timely, expert, and mission-critical assistance. You will manage the support team, define processes, and be the key advocate for the customer experience within the company.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have experience working remotely and managing a customer-facing support team. We look for strong communication skills, an obsession with customer success, and a passion for high-quality service delivery. We love keeping up with new technology and best practices in customer support, and we hope you do too.

In our software, we value robustness, stability, resilience, and performance. If our code works, lives are saved. If our code fails, lives can be at risk. We’re motivated by the fact that our work has a real impact, and it pushes us to be better every day.

As a part of a small, collaborative, and agile team, you will:

Lead, mentor, and grow the Support team, managing daily operations, scheduling, and escalation protocols.
Define, document, and implement efficient support processes, policies, and best practices.
Manage and prioritize customer issues, coordinating with the Engineering and Product teams for bug fixes and feature requests.
Develop and maintain a comprehensive knowledge base, help center articles, and internal documentation.
Maintain a strong customer focus, talking to our users directly whenever possible to understand their needs and challenges.
Analyze support metrics (e.g., response time, resolution rate, customer satisfaction) to identify trends and drive continuous improvement.

In your application, please include an example of something you’ve created and are proud of related to customer service or support process improvement. This can be anything you choose: a streamlined process, a knowledge base article, a customer success story, or whatever you like.

Nice-to-haves Include

Solid professional experience managing a B2B or SaaS support team.
Experience with support platforms (e.g., FreshDesk, HubSpot CRM, Zendesk).
Knowledge of incident management and Government IT processes.
Ability to work independently and collaborate with a remote team.
Action-oriented, diligent, and flexible.
Passion for public safety and software that impacts society in a positive way.
Familiarity with Tablet Command and/or public safety agency operations.

The Application

If you think you are a good fit for this position, please submit your resume along with a cover letter, letting us know why you want this job and why you are the best candidate for this position.

Your resume will be reviewed and, if selected, you will be scheduled for a short phone screen. During this call, we want to learn about you and give you the opportunity to learn about Tablet Command and our team.

If we (and you) want to continue, we'll schedule a second interview with more of the team to get to know you a little better. We'll talk in depth about your experience, your approach to customer support leadership, team management, and problem solving.

The final stage for successful candidates will be a case study/presentation challenge, where you'll walk us through how you'd approach a real-world customer support scenario. This will be followed by a conversation with a team member and will take no longer than 1–2 hours in total. If selected, a conditional job offer will be presented that is contingent upon reference and background check.

Benefits

We’re committed to Tablet Command being a company where the best want to work. We treat people well by favouring remote work, family-friendly policies and reasonable work hours. We build exceptional support experiences by fostering clear communication, empowering the team to lead decisions, hiring smart people, and letting them get things done.
