Title And Summary

Manager – Support Operations & Process Improvements

Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical and operations-driven professional to manage customer support processes while driving project execution and automation initiatives using Alteryx or AI capabilities. This role sits at the intersection of customer experience, operational efficiency, and data automation, requiring a strong problem-solving mindset and the ability to translate business needs into scalable workflows.

The Manager – Support Operations & Process Improvements within Client and Product Support Team will own the execution and continuous improvement of operational processes supporting the Network Distribution (also known as “Bulletins” / “One-to-Many”) channel. This role is responsible for ensuring accurate, timely, and scalable operations that directly enable invoicing integrity, revenue realization, and a high-quality customer experience.

This is a manager-level individual contributor role requiring end-to-end ownership of complex workflows, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a focus on driving automation and operational efficiency using Alteryx.

Key responsibilities include driving process standardization, identifying and resolving operational gaps, and leading automation initiatives to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy. The role will partner closely with stakeholders across Sales, Finance, Customer Success, Account Management, Billing Services, Insights & Enablement, and other support functions to deliver seamless execution and continuous improvement.

Success in this role requires a strong data-driven mindset, hands-on expertise in Alteryx/Automation, and the ability to influence outcomes across teams without direct authority. The individual will also contribute to enhancing stakeholder engagement, customer satisfaction, and overall program performance.

As the program continues to expand, this role may evolve to support additional billing and operational activities across the broader Services organization.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and are passionate about driving automation, efficiency, and customer experience, this is an opportunity to play a key role within the CAPS team
