Support Operations Analyst
TLDR
Own the architecture and intelligence layer of Intercom while enabling functional leaders with data integrity and visibility for operational KPIs.
Responsibilities:
Platform Architecture & Configuration
Own the end-to-end architecture of Automatiq’s Intercom environment: inbox structure, routing logic, automation workflows, tagging taxonomies, and conversation data models
Audit the current state and build a remediation roadmap; identify and correct the configuration decisions that are limiting our ability to measure and manage support at scale
Design for scale — build a clean, logical system that agents can work in efficiently and managers can interpret clearly
Manage user access, roles, and permissions; maintain well-documented, consistent system standards across teams
Partner closely with Automatiq’s Internal Operations product manager to ensure Intercom integrates efficiently into our broader tooling ecosystem and remains aligned with the company’s technology roadmap
Evaluate and implement AI-powered capabilities within Intercom — including intelligent triage, deflection, and response assistance — in support of Automatiq’s broader strategy of leveraging technology to drive operational efficiency
Support Philosophy → Operational Design
Partner with support leadership to understand how we believe great support should be delivered, then translate that philosophy into platform architecture and process design
Recommend and implement best practices for how the organization should operate within the platform — not just feature usage, but the habits and workflows that compound over time
Proactively surface configuration gaps where the current setup creates friction, blind spots, or inconsistency
Measurement Architecture & Business Intelligence
Identify the critical support capability areas we cannot reliably measure today — productivity, volume drivers, resolution quality, team and individual performance — and build the instrumentation to track them
Design and maintain reporting frameworks that give support managers, team leads, and senior stakeholders a clear, honest picture of what’s happening at the customer, team, and agent level
Go beyond output metrics: build for the questions that actually matter, including where volume is coming from, what’s driving it, where resolution is breaking down, and what support patterns signal for the broader business
Recommend KPI frameworks that align to goals as defined by support leaders, drawing on historical data and industry benchmarks; build the infrastructure to track them
Ensure that support data becomes a shared resource across functions, not siloed in the support team
Ongoing Optimization
Continuously evaluate workflow efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve routing, and increase automation signal-to-noise
Stay current on Intercom product updates and assess new capabilities for adoption; serve as the internal subject matter expert
Support managers and team leads in setting achievable, data-grounded performance targets based on what the platform can actually tell us
Identify and act on opportunities to reduce support costs over time — through automation, deflection, improved routing, and elimination of avoidable volume — without compromising the quality of the customer experience
Core Qualifications:
Experience
3–5 years of hands-on experience building and scaling a major helpdesk or customer support platform
Intercom experience is a plus and will be weighted; equivalent depth with Zendesk, Freshdesk, or a comparable enterprise platform is fully considered
Experience supporting a growing tech company through meaningful operational scale — not just steady-state administration
Demonstrated ability to own a platform end-to-end: architecture decisions, not just configuration tasks
A combination of support management experience and platform fluency is a legitimate and valued path into this role — deep operational knowledge of how support organizations actually run is as important as technical platform expertise
Architectural Thinking
You understand that helpdesk configuration is infrastructure — decisions made today create constraints or optionality downstream
You can assess a support environment and quickly identify where structure is missing, where automation is generating noise instead of signal, and where reporting is measuring the wrong things
You design for the organization’s needs six months from now, not just today’s
Measurement & Insight Fluency
You know which metrics actually matter to support managers and why — not just the standard list, but the nuanced picture of team health, customer patterns, agent effectiveness, and cost
You can build comparative reporting across customers, teams, and individuals that tells a coherent story, not just surfaces numbers
You understand the difference between a dashboard someone looks at and a dashboard someone acts on
You can articulate why a given metric matters to a given business outcome — not just how to measure it
Communication & Partnership
You’re comfortable in a collaborative, advisory role: translating what support leaders want into what gets built, asking the right clarifying questions, and pushing back when a request points in the wrong direction
You can explain platform decisions in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
You’re self-directed and can move from problem definition to execution with minimal hand-holding
Nice to Have
Familiarity with Intercom’s AI and automation features, including Fin
Experience integrating a helpdesk platform with adjacent business tools: CRM, product analytics, data warehouses
Background in or exposure to support operations, CS strategy, or revenue operations in a B2B SaaS context
Automatiq builds an all-in-one software platform for the live event ticketing industry, catering to resellers of all sizes. Our technology simplifies ticket resale by integrating multiple exchanges, dynamic pricing, and efficient delivery, addressing the complexities of a rapidly evolving market.
