About Us

Small businesses are the backbone of the US economy, comprising almost half of the GDP and the private workforce. Yet, big banks don’t provide the access, assistance and modern tools that owners need to successfully grow their business.

We started Novo to challenge the status quo—we’re on a mission to increase the GDP of the modern entrepreneur by creating the go-to banking platform for small businesses (SMBs). Novo is flipping the script of the banking world, and we’re excited to lead the small business banking revolution.

At Novo, we’re here to help entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups and SMBs achieve their financial goals by empowering them with an operating system that makes business banking as easy as iOS. We developed modern bank accounts and tools to help to save time and increase cash flow. Our unique product integrations enable easy access to tracking payments, transferring money internationally, managing business transactions and more. We’ve made a big impact in a short amount of time, helping thousands of organizations access powerfully simple business banking.

Why Novo?

• Novo is a rapidly growing series B fintech startup with a mission-driven team that’s passionate about helping every small business in America

• Positive, inclusive, supportive culture cheering you on your journey

• We work with very new technologies and architecture patterns

• We provide learning and development budgets to help you grow and bond with your team

• Offices in NYC and India.
  
  We’re looking for someone to own the systems and tooling that power Novo’s Customer Operations team. Reporting into the Senior Manager of Support Operations, you’ll be the administrator and architect behind Kustomer (our CRM), our telephony stack, and every channel our agents use to support customers. This is more than an admin seat: you’ll own the operational health of these systems, build and evolve AI tooling that makes frontline agents faster and sharper, and continuously evolve the stack to improve both the agent and customer experience. If you’re energized by streamlining operations and turning tooling into a competitive advantage, let’s talk. Ready to help revolutionize small business banking?

What you’ll own

System ownership and administration

You are the system administrator and resident expert for Kustomer and the broader CustOps tech stack (telephony, chat, Slack routing, Assembled and supporting tools).

• Own and optimize CX platforms, including day-to-day operations of the CRM, custom object design, workflows, automation rules, triggers, ticketing logic and reporting frameworks with a focus on scalability, maintainability and operational resilience.

• Manage users, roles, security settings, and permissions to maintain compliance and data privacy.

• Maintain data integrity through routine data audits, deduplication, and cleanup.

• Build, deploy, and refine the AI agent copilots living inside Kustomer, partnering with stakeholder teams to design and improve them.

• Keep system documentation current for configuration and troubleshooting of known issues.

• Help automate internal processes across CustOps teams.

• Turn tooling into a competitive advantage: stay ahead of automation and AI practices, evaluate where Novo should invest, and make the build-vs-buy calls for the stack within your area.

Operational health and continuous improvement

You treat the tooling as a living system and measure where it’s working well and where to optimize

• Translate end-state performance goals into the right metrics, segments, and views.

• Build and maintain dashboards and performance reports; analyze the data to surface trends, anomalies and root causes, and turn that into insights leadership and department heads can act on.

• Audit support tools regularly for efficiency and lead projects to improve or expand the setup based on what you find.

• Identify critical failure points in the support process and help develop SOPs for common situations.

• Analyze support workflows, propose improvements, working closely with partner teams to implement.

Cross-functional partnership

You sit between CustOps, Engineering and Product, translating operational needs into technical solutions.

• Collaborate across teams and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners, translating system needs and tradeoffs so every group understands what’s required and why.

• Partner with Engineering and Product to maintain reliable connectors between Kustomer and other support tools, and flag internal tech that’s slowing agents down.

• Work with Training and QA on how tooling can lift agent quality and workflow.

• Translate business needs from department leaders into scalable technical solutions.

• Align tooling priorities with senior leadership and broader company objectives.

• Communicate real-time impacts to the wider organization with a risk-mitigation plan.
