Are you passionate about putting technology to work? Are you seeking a career that allows you to develop in one of the world’s fastest growing companies, and to have a tremendous impact on that growth? Compass is looking for passionate, driven professionals with a strong technical aptitude and the ability to connect products and business to constantly improve the customer experience to join our Executive Escalations and Product Operations Team.

The Support Escalations Program Manager will be the driving force behind Compass’ support escalation strategy, ensuring that both customer and staff problems are rapidly addressed with a high-touch and a white glove. This strategic role requires a systems thinker who can bring a data-driven and customer-centric approach to our escalation response plans. You will work closely with Product Operations, Support Engineering, and IT managers to create and implement strategies to enhance the escalated support experience, reduce defects in lower tiers, and improve responsiveness and quality metrics.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist in the creation and execution of a roadmap to address support-wide improvements that deliver systemic solutions to escalated issues.
  • Design and implement a 24/7 escalations strategy that ensures continuous, gap-free coverage and a blue sky vision of flawless support.
  • Apply systems thinking to design and implement a comprehensive defect reduction program aimed at minimizing escalation rates.
  • Partner with P&E and Support Engineering to optimize and iterate on incident management processes, ensuring SLA adherence and timely customer and frontline communications.
  • Act as the primary liaison between Product Operations, Support Engineering, Support Accounts, and IT teams to drive alignment on escalation priorities and strategies.
  • Monitor and improve key support health metrics to evaluate efforts and provide regular reports on program outcomes.
  • Collaborate with leadership, support managers, regional leads, and other stakeholders to identify, define, and prioritize the problems they face.
  • Facilitate regular cross-functional meetings to discuss ongoing escalations, process improvements, and strategic initiatives.
  • Be the face of change management initiatives related to new processes, technologies, or strategies within support operations, ensuring smooth transitions and working with people managers to address pushback and resistance.
  • Identify potential risks associated with existing business processes and develop and implement strategies to mitigate them.
  • Provide thought leadership on escalation management and operational strategies.
  • Serve as a backup for senior IT and product support during technology/infrastructure incidents and outages. Flexibility for occasional after-hours or weekend commitments may be required, but this is not expected to be a regular responsibility.

Requirements:

  • Experience leading continuous improvement initiatives related to support operations, or similar processes to the benefit of end customers.
  • Experience resolving customer-facing issues in partnership with product managers and/or engineers, leveraging software-based ticketing systems such as Zendesk, Jira, or similar.
  • Experience analyzing structured and unstructured datasets using advanced spreadsheet formulas and techniques.
  • Excellent problem solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Fast learning self-starter who is technically skilled, open-minded, and willing to adapt to changing situations.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Operations Management, Communications, or equivalent.
  • Experience with process improvement modalities such as Six Sigma, Lean, Agile, etc., with the ability to integrate these approaches into defect reduction and escalation management strategies preferred
  • This is an onsite-only role (sorry, no remote).

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Compass’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.


Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
