About this task

This management consulting firm for energy companies (1,001–5,000 employees) is looking for a manager Customer Support Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 1–2 h a week. The numbers behind the support team, monthly.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It is a consulting firm, so client deadlines set the pace and handover notes are expected.

The company prefers a person who can come to San Francisco for kickoff and the final review; the rest is remote. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

What you deliver

  • Produce the monthly support report: volume, first response, resolution, CSAT and three actions.
  • A written update every Tuesday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked
  • A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends
  • Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

What a week looks like

  • Friday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items
  • Wednesday: main working block (1 hours)
  • Tuesday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

Duration: 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.
