Sr. Manager, Operations Workforce Strategy (CX)

About SimpliSafe

We’re a high-tech home security company that’s passionate about protecting the life you’ve built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we’ve created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you’re building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.

We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, to work together in person, and teams can choose where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

Why are we hiring?

Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. 

This is a newly created role designed to deliver strategic support for our Telesales, Service, and Loyalty Operations teams. You’ll have the opportunity to shape both the role and the long-term strategy for the team. Because this is a new function with an evolving scope, we’re looking for someone who thrives in white space, is comfortable building structure where there is none, and can balance near-term operational needs with long-term strategic thinking. This leader will shape the vision, tools, and processes that drive short-term staffing agility and real-time operational decision-making.

• Design and deploy self-service tools and scalable frameworks that empower Operations teams to flex staffing across channels, track agent availability, and improve time management.
• Own the design and continuous improvement of workforce-related processes — from PTO and occurrence tracking to agent adherence and intra-day staffing flexibility.

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects involving cross-team coordination, system/process redesign, and technology implementation.
