Support Manager

Remote (Latin America, India, Europe)

About Us:
The wholesale distribution industry is ready for a revolution, and Proton is leading the charge. The world relies on distributors to sell nearly every physical product, but despite its massive contribution to the global economy, this industry has been left behind in terms of technology. Proton is changing that. With AI-powered sales software, we’re breaking through the complexity of selling millions of products and making it easier for distributors to anticipate customer needs. Our mission is to bring the distribution industry into the modern age and the results speak for themselves. Distributors using Proton see 10x ROI, faster new hire ramp-up, and happier sales teams.

In 2022, we raised a $20M Series A backed by Felicis Ventures (investors in Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor, and many others) and Battery Ventures. This year, we’re laser-focused on scaling customer impact and expanding our team. If you're excited about leading in a fast-paced, high-growth environment—now’s the time to join Proton.

The Role:

We’re looking for a hands-on Support Manager to lead and grow our Support function. This person will be a critical team leader and individual contributor (“player-coach”), responsible for managing a team of support engineers, hiring and mentoring talent, and ensuring we deliver world-class support to our customers. You’ll bring strategic insight and operational excellence to a fast-growing function inside Proton.

The target salary range for this role is $70,000 - $90,000.  Final offers will be based on your skills and previous experience. Proton collaborates with Oyster HR to hire international employees as full time (long term) contractors within our company. 

This role will be fully remote. For collaboration purposes, all hires based in Europe or India are expected to be available for meetings from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time). Candidates located in Latin America are expected to work standard EST business hours on a daily basis.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Support Engineers, providing regular coaching and development
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex issues, while also handling frontline support as needed
  • Drive hiring and onboarding for the Support team as we scale
  • Define support best practices and optimize internal processes to improve efficiency and quality
  • Build KPIs and reporting to measure team performance and customer satisfaction
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure seamless support experiences and rapid resolution of technical issues
  • Foster a culture of ownership, empathy, and continuous improvement across the team

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

  • Have 1+ years of experience leading a support team, ideally at a fast-growing SaaS company
  • Have supported complex software products—bonus for experience with CRM systems or integrations
  • Thrive in both leadership and hands-on roles—you're equally comfortable mentoring others and diving into tickets yourself
  • Are an excellent communicator and coach, with a passion for developing people
  • Bring structure and process to dynamic environments, without sacrificing speed

Benefits:

  • Competitive Salary + Company Stock Options – we want to pay you well (and equitably!) and make you feel like an owner
  • Unlimited PTO + 10 Company Paid Holidays – we even have tools to help you avoid burnout
    401k with Employer Contribution – we contribute up to 3% whether or not you contribute
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance – we cover one medical plan 100% (plus 50% for dependents)

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
