Warp is an AI-native payroll, compliance, benefits, and HR platform that automates complex back-office operations through AI agents. Backed by $25M from Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, and founders of Dropbox, Replit, OpenAI, and Cruise. The company serves more than 1,000 customers and is scaling rapidly.

This is a senior leadership role responsible for building and scaling Warp's customer support organization from scratch. You will own the full support function — hiring, SLAs, escalation frameworks, runbooks, and team development — while serving as the primary voice of the customer to Product and Engineering.

• Build and lead the support organization from scratch
• Hire, train, develop, and manage support team members
• Own SLAs, performance metrics, and escalation management
• Handle complex payroll and compliance issues
• Build support systems, runbooks, and escalation frameworks
• Develop managers and future team leaders
• Conduct root cause analysis and partner with Product and Engineering
• Serve as the voice of the customer

• 5–8 years in support operations or customer-facing leadership
• Direct people management experience with ownership of headcount, SLAs, performance reviews, and organizational structure
• Deep payroll, HRIS, and compliance knowledge
• Experience building support teams from scratch
• Fintech, payroll, HRIS, or compliance platform experience
• Strong operational and analytical mindset
• Ability to thrive in fast-moving environments

Strong signals include experience at Rippling, Justworks, Gusto, Deel, Remote, or similar payroll and HRIS platforms — particularly those who have built support functions from scratch, managed headcount, and owned team scaling. Ideal roles: CX Manager, Senior CX Manager, Head of Customer Support, Director of Customer Experience, Payroll Operations Manager, HRIS Operations Leader, or Customer Operations Leader.

• Candidates without direct reports or headcount management experience
• Enterprise-only backgrounds without payroll or HRIS knowledge
