Job description

Sweep is hiring a Customer Care Team Lead to scale our global Customer Care practice and elevate the way we support our customers worldwide.


At Sweep, our mission is to empower businesses to become Forever Companies - creating long-term value while reducing environmental impact and improving social performance. Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and we believe that businesses can drive meaningful change with the right tools and insights.

Our platform maps climate and ESG data across entire organizations, enabling them to track, disclose, and take action. By turning sustainability into a competitive advantage, Sweep helps businesses build better, audit-ready programs that contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone.

Together, we can make a difference.

This position is open to anyone living in the UK or France, near one of our offices in London, Paris or Montpellier as you’ll be expected to come to the office at least once a week.


Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?


At Sweep, our Customer Care team ensures that our clients and partners have the best possible experience using our platform, one that is efficient, enjoyable, and supported by fast, reliable, and high-quality answers to their questions.

Today, the team includes Customer Support Specialists who handle our customers’ requests (levels 1 and 2) and Tech Writers responsible for building and maintaining documentation and learning materials. As Customer Care Team Lead, your mission will be to guide, structure, and grow this team to deliver an exceptional customer experience at scale.

You’ll report to the VP of Product and collaborate closely with our Product, Engineering, and Growth teams to continuously improve workflows, tools, and content that empower both our users, partners and our internal teams.


Key Responsibilities • Leadership
  • Build, coach, and structure a growing Customer Care team composed of Support Specialists and Tech Writers.
  • Track and improve key performance metrics such as resolution time, satisfaction (CSAT/NPS), and team engagement.
  • Define a clear vision for team growth and career paths across both profiles.
  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Growth teams to align support and documentation priorities with product goals.
  • Gather and share actionable insights from customer feedback to influence product and service improvements.
  • Identify inefficiencies, introduce automation and AI tools where relevant, and streamline processes for higher operational efficiency.
  • Define onboarding flows and training plans to ensure continuous skill development and consistent quality across all team members.


Key Responsibilities • Operations
  • Act as an escalation point for complex issues, ensuring prompt, high-quality resolutions.
  • Support the team in day-to-day operations when needed, remaining hands-on with customers, tools, and processes.
  • Oversee the development and maintenance of Help Center content, internal documentation, and learning materials to promote user autonomy.
  • Ensure that content quality and tone reflect Sweep’s product excellence and user experience standards.
  • Drive cross-functional initiatives to improve support experience, documentation relevance, and overall customer satisfaction.


That sounds just right for me. What do I need to bring?


Glad you asked. The ideal candidate would check some of the following:


Qualifications 🏆
  • Proven experience building or leading a Customer Care / Support team, ideally in a SaaS or tech environment.
  • 3+ years in customer-facing or support roles, including at least 2 years in a leadership or team management position.
  • Solid understanding of SaaS support operations, including Intercom ticketing systems, metrics tracking, and escalation management.
  • Experience managing or collaborating with Tech Writers or educational content teams is a strong plus.
  • Fluency in English is mandatory. Fluency in French is a strong plus; additional languages are highly appreciated.


Qualities 🧠
  • Hands-on leadership: you lead by example and don’t hesitate to dive into tickets or documentation when needed.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to foster collaboration across teams and cultures.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and drive process improvements.
  • Empathy, patience, and an unwavering focus on customer success.
  • Proactive, structured, and solution-oriented, with a drive for continuous improvement.
