About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-established, mission-driven technology organization seeking a Call Center Manager to lead a high-impact technical support operation. This role is based in Bloomington, Minnesota and supports customers in time-sensitive, customer-critical environments.

This is a leadership position for someone who enjoys building, coaching, and stabilizing teams while operating in a fast-paced setting where quality, responsiveness, and professionalism matter.

Role Overview

The Call Center Manager is responsible for overseeing a small but highly engaged support team that handles inbound customer requests and issue resolution. The team supports complex products and services used in high-pressure, real-world situations, making strong people leadership and sound decision-making essential.

While the environment involves technical products, this is primarily a people-management and operations role, not an engineering position.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a 6-8 person call center/technical support team
• Oversee daily operations, workloads, scheduling, and service levels
• Ensure urgent and escalated customer issues are handled calmly and efficiently
• Foster a culture of accountability, professionalism, and strong customer service
• Support ongoing process improvements to enhance team performance and customer experience
• Partner with internal stakeholders to resolve issues and streamline workflows
• Use a ticketing or case management system to track, assign, and resolve customer requests
• Occasionally step in to assist with calls or coverage during peak demand
• Participate in an on-call leadership rotation as needed (compensated)

What We're Looking For

• Call center, customer operations, technical support, or service desk leadership experience
• 2+ years of direct people management experience
  • Must have formally managed employees - team lead or senior contributor roles alone are not sufficient
• Experience leading teams in fast-paced, high-pressure customer support or operations environments
• Strong coaching, performance management, and communication skills
• Comfortable handling escalations and guiding teams through urgent situations
• Proven ability to create team stability and drive engagement
• Sound judgment and decision-making under pressure
• Exposure to environments involving hardware, devices, or technically complex products
• Experience working with ticketing or CRM systems
• Bachelor's degree preferred, not required

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary - $110,000 - $130,000/yr.
  • Annual performance-based bonus
• Work Location - Bloomington, MN
  • Hybrid Work Schedule (3 days onsite/2 days Remote)
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) plan with employer contribution
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Additional flexibility for the right candidate (sign-on bonus, PTO, etc.)
