Customer Support Business Operations

An Amazing Career Opportunity for a Customer Support Operations!! 

Location: Eden Prairie, MN

Job ID: 46208

This is a senior individual contributor role that partners closely with the Director of Customer support to execute on defined priorities and direction for evaluating, evolving, and integrating the FARGO and Evolis customer support organizations within the SI Desktop Business Units.

As a key operational partner, this individual is responsible for leading structured assessments, translating leadership direction into executable plans, and owning delivery of agreed-upon initiatives that improve customer experience, service quality, and operational efficiency across both brands.

The role operates at the intersection of leadership-defined strategy and hands-on execution.

  • Partnering with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Quality, and Regional Support leaders to clarify accountability, reduce reactive escalations, and drive sustained improvements to field issues.
