What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director, Customer Support position at CloudZero?
About the Role:
CloudZero is seeking an experienced and strategic Director of Customer Support to lead and scale our customer support team. This pivotal role will oversee the delivery of exceptional customer experiences, ensuring timely and effective resolution of technical inquiries while driving continuous improvement in processes and performance. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of managing technical support teams, with deep knowledge of cloud technologies, including AWS and Kubernetes, and a passion for building customer-centric operations.
In this role, you'll have the unique opportunity to shape the future of customer support in a fast-growing company that's revolutionizing cloud cost management. If you're excited about creating impactful solutions, fostering an innovative team culture, and empowering customers to succeed, we'd love to have you join our mission-driven team!
Responsibilities:
Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it — and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That's why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers' business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.
Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we've built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.
To date, we've raised over $52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We're solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We're growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it!

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.
