You'll also lead a team of customer support specialists who handle issues that still require human judgment and empathy.

Why This Role Is Different
Most companies are asking how AI can help their support teams. At Grid, we're asking a bigger question:
What would customer support look like if you built it from scratch in the AI era?
You'll have the opportunity to answer that question for more than a million users and help define how customer experience operates at Grid for years to come.
