About the job

We’re a founder-led, fast-growing tech startup supporting time-sensitive customer operations in the travel sector.

We’re hiring a dedicated Operations Supervisor to help stabilize, scale, and improve our remote support team. You’ll work closely with leadership and have real ownership over daily operations, quality, and performance.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building systems, leading people, and solving real problems -- not just following scripts.

Company details will be shared after initial screening.

Role Overview

This is a 40-hour/week, hourly contract role focused on supervising contractors, handling escalations, and improving operational workflows.

You’ll be a key link between frontline support and leadership.

What You’ll Do

  • Operations & Escalations

    • Handle Tier 2 / Tier 3 customer escalations
  • Investigate and resolve high-severity cases

  • Serve as a quality benchmark for case handling

  • Ensure critical issues are documented and resolved

  • Team Leadership

    • Manage and support a remote contractor team
  • Audit work for quality and SOP compliance

  • Coach and provide performance feedback

  • Ensure coverage, reliability, and accountability

  • Onboarding & Administration

    • Lead onboarding and training for new hires
  • Maintain training materials and SOP alignment

  • Track schedules, hours, and availability

  • Review time submissions and payroll inputs

  • Process Improvement

    • Identify workflow gaps and inefficiencies
  • Improve escalation paths and SOPs

  • Flag recurring issues and propose solutions

  • Work in tools such as Intercom, Linear, Slack, and internal systems

  • Who This Role Is For

  • This role is ideal for someone who has led small teams and wants more ownership in a growing startup.

You likely have:

  • 3+ years in operations, support leadership, or escalations
  • Experience managing contractors or distributed teams
  • Strong organization and follow-through
  • Sound judgment under pressure
  • Excellent written and verbal English

Bonus:

  • Startup, travel, or logistics background
  • Experience building processes from scratch

Requirements

  • US-based

  • macOS computer

  • Compensation & Growth

  • $20/hour

  • 40 hours/week (some on-call responsibility)

  • Long-term opportunity

  • Increased responsibility and pay as the company scales

  • Why Join

  • Work directly with founders

  • High autonomy and ownership

  • Real influence over systems and standards

  • Opportunity to grow into a senior operations role
