Since inception, we've been focused on building a delightful, world-class experience that empowers physicians to deliver phenomenal care to patients. We're looking for a Manager, Customer Support to lead a high-performing team of Support Specialists and Support Engineers.

You'll be the operational leader for Elation's support experience, owning team performance, development, and the daily execution of SLA commitments. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Customer Operations to translate support insights into product improvements, and build the analytics infrastructure that makes support performance transparent and actionable.

you've redesigned workflows or implemented tooling that improved efficiency - Product management mindset: You understand root cause analysis and think about preventing issues upstream rather than just resolving them faster - Technical credibility: You can learn product architecture, understand complex workflows, and coach support engineers on technical cases - Coaching-oriented: You develop people through feedback, skill-building, and stretch opportunities—not just task assignment - High standards with empathy: You hold your team accountable while supporting their growth - Cross-functional collaboration: You've worked effectively with Engineering, Product, or Customer Success teams where success required partnership - Comfortable with ambiguity: You're excited to build operations for a new support model without a perfect playbook on day one Nice to Have - Experience in healthcare, health tech, or regulated industries - Exposure to AI-assisted support workflows or LLM-based tooling - Prior experience as a technical support engineer or individual contributor before moving into management - Familiarity with Notion, Linear, Salesforce, Intercom, or similar support/case management platforms Salary range: $110,000-140,000 CAD Elation welcomes individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.
