Manager, Customer Support

Buyers Edge Platform is seeking an experienced and dynamic Manager of Customer Support (BackOffice) to lead a team dedicated to delivering a best-in-class customer support experience. This pivotal role is instrumental in translating customer needs into impactful product improvements and cultivating genuine, valued customer relationships. Operating within a period of significant transformation, this leader will champion the integration of AI tools and innovative workflows to redefine service excellence and elevate team capabilities. This is a unique opportunity to lead through change, drive adoption of modern operational practices, and build a team that fosters significant career growth for its members.

Who we are:

Back Office, a Buyers Edge Platform SaaS solution, dismantles siloed restaurant technology systems, offering Accounting & Bookkeeping, Payroll, Food Cost Management, and AP Automation as a unified tech stack. Developed by restaurant owners for restaurant owners, Back Office goes beyond traditional software; it's backed by industry experts who guide operators to make faster, more informed business decisions surrounding revenue, cost of goods, labor, and compliance. Through a combination of continued education and user-friendly software, independent, multi-location, franchise, and enterprise restaurant groups gain actionable insights into their performance, empowering them to make data-based operational decisions! 

We value the impact and connection that comes from regular in-person collaboration. Therefore, the ideal candidate will work from our Littleton, CO office, with anticipated travel, as needed. We are unable to offer work sponsorship for this role.
