NYC: Customer Support Manager

At New York Pilates, our members are at the center of everything we do.

We're looking for an exceptional Customer Support Manager to lead our customer support operation and ensure every member receives an exceptional experience from their first interaction with New York Pilates through their entire membership.

This is a hands-on customer support leadership role. We're looking for someone who thinks like both a customer advocate and an operator. Someone who can lead an exceptional Customer Support team, manage complex member issues, identify patterns in customer feedback, and turn those insights into better systems, processes, and experiences.

You'll oversee customer support, member communications, issue resolution, escalations, onboarding, service recovery, and ongoing member engagement, while building scalable systems that improve both the member experience and the efficiency of our support operation.

You'll be responsible for ensuring our members receive exceptional support today while constantly asking how we can make their experience even better tomorrow.

If you are an expert in these areas, we'd love to meet you.

You care deeply about creating exceptional customer experiences.

You enjoy solving problems and building systems that make every interaction with a member feel intentional, thoughtful, and personal.

You're equally comfortable managing a Customer Support team, reviewing customer conversations, handling escalations, improving support processes, analyzing support trends, and identifying opportunities to make the member experience better.

When you see the same customer issue happening repeatedly, you don't just want to solve the individual tickets; you want to understand why it's happening and fix the underlying problem.

You know how to balance speed and efficiency with empathy and a premium level of customer service. You understand that great customer support isn't simply about answering questions or closing tickets; it's about making members feel heard, supported, and taken care of.

You know how to use customer feedback and support data to identify patterns, prioritize opportunities, and measure whether your work is actually improving the experience.

You understand that customer experience isn't owned by one department; it's created through every interaction. You're analytical, proactive, highly organized, and always looking for ways to improve efficiency without losing the personal experience that makes a brand special.

Most importantly, you're excited to help shape one of the fastest-growing boutique fitness brands in the country.
