About Novig
Novig is building America's #1 sports prediction market. Our mission is to financialize and democratize sports trading - taking a closed system run by casinos and turning it into a fair, efficient, two-sided market where the power sits with users. With Novig recently becoming a CFTC-designated market — the fastest designation of its kind in US history— we're bringing the prediction market built for sports fans nationwide. We're backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors — Pantera, Forerunner, Lux, NFX, Paul Graham, and Joe Montana — who have collectively invested over $100M behind this vision.What You Will Do
- Scale and empower the team. Recruit, mentor, and guide our customer support team to achieve service excellence, establishing clear operational standards and robust coverage models for a 24/7 platform.
- Drive continuous operational improvement daily. Stay in the tools and the data alongside the team by spotting patterns across tickets, deciding what to automate next, and partnering with engineers to kill recurring issues at the root.
- Own the AI and tooling roadmap for support. Determine the future direction of self-service, automation, and AI agents. Convert single high-friction issues into permanent solutions that prevent thousands of users from experiencing the same friction.
- Build the operating system of support. Establish robust SLAs, coverage and staffing models, QA processes, and escalation protocols while continuously elevating key metrics like CSAT, deflection rate, and resolution time.
- Stay close to the data. Analyze dashboards directly to drive decisions on staffing, tooling, and product strategy using empirical evidence.
- Be the voice of the customer at the leadership table. Act as the customer advocate at the leadership level by identifying product gaps, monitoring adoption trends, driving critical resolution efforts, and serving as the bridge between users and execution teams.
- Raise the bar relentlessly. Maintain the highest quality for every team member and customer interaction, continuously driving standards higher.
