Role Overview: Customer Operations Lead
The Customer Operations Lead serves as the main support contact for Bastion’s partners, with an initial focus on a major integration. This position handles daily partner escalations, triages technical issues, and works closely with engineering, product, finance operations, and compliance teams to resolve challenges. Building scalable processes, developing a knowledge base, and introducing tools for efficient support are key responsibilities.
What You Will Do
- Address partner inquiries and manage escalation workflows directly, not just through documentation or delegation.
- Define and refine the scope of support as Bastion’s partner network grows.
- Develop sustainable processes and create resources to support partners at scale.
- Strategize and manage the BPO approach as inquiry volume increases, ensuring high service standards.
- Select, implement, and optimize AI-powered support tools (such as knowledge bases for AI agents and automated triage systems) to improve efficiency without simply adding headcount.
- Continuously evaluate and improve support tools and workflows for performance and effectiveness.
- Engage cross-functionally from day one: collaborate with engineering on technical issues, with product on documentation, and with compliance on regulatory processes.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience with automation workflows, AI tools, or platforms like Claude Code is a strong plus.
- Ability to recognize and eliminate repetitive manual tasks through smart tool selection and process design.
- Sound judgment in deciding when to use automation and when a personal touch is required.
- Comfort working across teams and disciplines to resolve partner issues quickly and accurately.
