Support is split into three levels: L1 handles basic how-to questions and user-side issues, L2 covers anything that can be fixed with our internal tools (configuration, access, data), and L3 is anything that requires action from another department, typically engineering. Level 1 is run by an external vendor (Concentrix), level 3 sits with engineering.\nUntil now, level 2 was carried internally by one of our engineers, on top of their actual job. It worked, but it does not scale: L2 deserves a full-time owner, and our engineering time belongs in the product. Meanwhile, our vendor has the capacity to take on much more than L1, if someone trains them, equips them and holds the quality bar.\nYour role exists to close that gap twice over: own L2 today, and transfer more and more of it to the vendor tomorrow. You inherit real processes, real runbooks and a real backlog, not a blank page. What you build on top is yours.\nYour missions\n1. Own level 2 resolution and escalation decisions\nYou handle what level 1 escalates: investigation, configuration, data checks, and enough bug reproduction to gather the maximum useful information before handing off to L3. You define the L1 to L2 escalation criteria and guarantee case completeness. When an issue belongs to engineering, you file a documented ticket in Linear (our internal engineering issue tracker) with clean reproduction steps, and push it to L3, who takes it from there. You keep owning the client relationship until closure. You manage the L2 backlog: aging tickets, reopenings, nothing slips. And when an issue is urgent, you do not sit on it: you escalate it immediately in the appropriate tech channel - which squad or person picks it up depends on the issue.\n2. Coach the vendor up to L2\nThis is the trajectory of the role: Concentrix should progressively absorb the bulk of L1 and L2. Concretely, you:\ndirect Concentrix on which tools to use and how, and guide their day-to-day troubleshooting and reporting, in cooperation with L3\n\ntrain their agents on L2 issue patterns: what to investigate, what to capture, when to escalate\n\nsupervise Concentrix's creation of L1 and L2 documentation, and contribute directly to L2 documentation yourself when needed, alongside building the runbooks, escalation trees and macros that make L2 resolution repeatable without you\n\nreview their L2-handled tickets, give structured feedback, and raise their autonomy quarter after quarter\n\nown the onboarding and product training of new vendor agents\n\nhelp write the specs of our internal support tools, with one goal: making fully autonomous L1 and L2 support possible\n\nflag recurring L3-level issues to the L3 Lead as candidates for feature or tooling work that would let L2 handle them directly in the future\n\nYour success is measured by how much L2 volume no longer needs you.\n3. Drive quality and SLAs\nYou track SLAs, volumes and backlog weekly. You run ticket QA (sampling, tone, accuracy), own the Customer Satisfaction score (CSAT) and satisfaction surveys, and produce the monthly support report: top drivers, trends, costs. You contribute to the continuous improvement plan to reduce inbound volume.\n4. Run the vendor relationship\nYou lead the weekly and monthly business reviews with Concentrix, and contribute to capacity planning and contractual scope.\n5. Connect support to product\nYou own the feature request and product feedback loop, and retest and confirm fixes with the client once engineering resolves them. Bug qualification and attribution in Linear stay with L3. You also actively follow and track product changes: every release is turned into support-ready knowledge, updated runbooks and a heads-up to the vendor before the change reaches clients.\nWho we are looking for\nTechnical skills\nYou do not need to be a developer, but you need solid troubleshooting instincts for enterprise applications:\nmethodical diagnosis of web and desktop application issues: reproducing reliably, isolating variables, reading logs and browser DevTools\n\ncomfort with the enterprise environment our clients run: SSO and identity basics (SAML, OAuth, Azure AD / Entra ID), browsers and extensions, proxies and firewalls, and how they break applications\n\nexperience configuring ticketing tools (workflows, queues, tags, automations)\n\nat ease reading a monitoring dashboard (e.g. Datadog) or analytics tool (e.g. Mixpanel), and following an incident in a ticketing tool like Linear\n\nunderstanding of GenAI assistants and what conditions their behavior (APIs, capabilities, configuration)\n\nSoft skills\nRigor and diagnostic sense: you do not let go of a symptom until you have isolated the cause\n\nCoaching mindset: you enjoy making other people autonomous, not being the hero of every ticket\n\nClient posture: you write clearly, keep commitments, and de-escalate tense situations\n\nOwnership: escalating is never offloading; you stay accountable until closure\n\nMetrics comfort: SLAs, CSAT and reporting are how you steer, not paperwork\n\nExperience\n3 to 5 years in B2B SaaS technical support (level 2/3), support operations or a similar client-facing technical role\n\na first experience training or supervising agents, a vendor or an outsourced team is a strong plus\n\nfluent French and English (international clients and an English-speaking vendor team)\n\nThe environment you will work with\nTicket management by squad in Linear, from triage to resolution.\n\nSupport operations through internal runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and escalation paths.\n\nUser access management with Client Hub (our internal admin console for managing client users and licenses), including group provisioning, permissions, and license assignment.\n\nProduct telemetry analysis using a product analytics tool (Mixpanel) and, increasingly, a monitoring dashboard (Datadog) to investigate usage patterns, errors, and support trends.\n\nSupport for Mendo's core products: the Mendo Browser Extension and Mendo Windows Desktop Application.\n\nEnterprise environment troubleshooting, including SSO, identity providers, network restrictions, and security policies.\n\nSupport team enablement, helping shape processes, documentation, and best practices across the organization.\n\nOutcome: You become the go-to expert for how a Mendo support case is triaged, investigated, escalated, and resolved from start to finish.\nWhat we offer\nA role with a clear trajectory: own L2, then scale yourself through the vendor\n\nDirect impact: you improve the experience of tens of thousands of users at the largest enterprises\n\nEquity: a stake in a fast-growing scale-up\n\nFlexibility: hybrid, 2 days on site / 3 days remote\n\nA demanding and kind culture, aligned with our values: Learning, Innovation, Excellence, Kindness\n\nWhy this role is unique\nThis is a role we first ran internally, hands on, before deciding to make it a real job. You arrive on a real need, already framed, with existing processes to take over and improve, and full latitude to make it your signature. And it has a built-in growth path: the better you coach the vendor, the more your job shifts from solving tickets to designing the support system itself.\nAbout Mendo\nAt Mendo, we pair a passion for technology with high standards for learning. Our mission: make GenAI accessible and genuinely useful for every enterprise, every team and every employee, right in the flow of work.\nHow to apply\nSend us your CV and a few lines about the trickiest ticket you ever solved. No formatted cover letter needed: tell us why building a level 2 function, then teaching it to others, motivates you.\nProcess: first call (30 min), fit and skills interview, live case on a real support scenario, then a meeting with the founders.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8253,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T15:36:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":48,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.802,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":73,"expected_fill_days":86,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T17:38:58Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mendo-l2-support-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mendo-l2-support-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T17:38:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":37101,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":695211},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=695211"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmendo-l2-support-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmendo-l2-support-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmendo-l2-support-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mendo-l2-support-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmendo-l2-support-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4174442}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mendo.cloud","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4174442},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
