Operations Lead, Care

OverviewThe Operations Lead, Care is a cross-functional operations generalist responsible for helping improve how Tonal's Customer Care organization works. This role takes on operational problems that span processes, systems, customer journeys, and teams, and helps turn them into scalable solutions. The Operations Lead will coordinate projects, analyze workflows, identify opportunities for improvement, and build or implement solutions using automation, self-service tools, and other customer support technologies. The role is designed for someone who is equally comfortable understanding an operational problem, working with stakeholders to define a solution, and getting hands-on with the systems and tools required to bring it to life. Rather than owning a single functional area, this person will be leveraged across Care priorities based on business needs, including self-service, automation, customer support tooling, process improvement, launch readiness, content operations, and other operational initiatives.
What You Will Do
Lead operational workstreams across Customer Care, taking projects from problem definition through implementation, launch, and ongoing improvement.
Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce manual work, improve customer and advocate experiences, and increase operational efficiency.
Build and improve automations and self-service experiences, including forms, guided flows, troubleshooting journeys, chat experiences, and other digital support tools.
Work with APIs, integrations, and support platforms to connect systems, surface information, and automate repetitive operational workflows.
Translate operational requirements into practical technical or process solutions, partnering with Engineering, Product, IT, vendors, or other teams when deeper technical support is required.
Act as a project lead for assigned Care initiatives, coordinating stakeholders, requirements, timelines, dependencies, testing, launch readiness, and follow-up.
Support the rollout of new products, policies, tools, and operational programs by assessing Care impact and coordinating required readiness activities.
Partner with Care leadership and frontline teams to understand recurring operational challenges and develop scalable solutions.
Use customer contact data, operational metrics, workflow performance, and frontline feedback to identify opportunities and measure the impact of changes.
Build lightweight tools, dashboards, workflows, or operational solutions when appropriate rather than relying exclusively on manual processes.
Support the development and optimization of Tonal's digital self-service ecosystem, including the public knowledge experience, automated workflows, and customer-facing support journeys.
Partner with Content and Enablement owners on initiatives that require changes to customer-facing or internal knowledge, while maintaining clear ownership within those functions.
Document new processes and ensure operational changes are clearly communicated, tested, and adopted by affected teams.
Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early and work with stakeholders to drive them toward resolution.
Manage multiple concurrent workstreams and adjust priorities based on customer impact, operational needs, and business priorities.
Continuously look for opportunities to improve how Care uses technology, automation, data, and processes to operate more effectively.
