Team Intro
Our User 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 (enter location) office.

The User Support Operations Manager will be responsible for leading a quickly growing team of various functions (analysis, workforce management, strategy operations, communications, tools and reporting) to both optimize our support function and bridge the gap between Support and cross functional partners such as Product, Engineering, and Research. You'll define operational levers and lead in their adjustment to support our evolving needs. You'll focus on facilitating insights of both the Support operation and our diverse community of users, optimizing service levels, and ensuring that our team has all of the right processes in place to maintain a high level of productivity. You'll be empowered to shape and deliver scalable processes in a rapid growth environment. A deep respect for TikTok users and an entrepreneurial spirit with a penchant for systems thinking and self-starting are critical for success in this role.

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.

- Oversee the workforce management function of our growing Support team resulting in appropriate distribution of overall incoming support case volume across all Support workflows, overseeing front-line Associate forecasting and maximizing efficiency.
