Job Description
At LinkedIn, we trust each other to do our best work where it works best for us and our teams. This role is based in our Omaha NE office and offers a hybrid work option , meaning you can both work from home and commute to a LinkedIn office, depending on what's best for you and when it is important for your team to be together.
Looking for an opportunity to transform a business? LinkedIn is looking for a strategic, customer-focused leader to champion product quality in an extremely fast paced, hyper growth environment. Your team will monitor product health and quality based on data gathered from multiple sources (including product monitoring, member escalations, social media, and help center discussions), prioritize issues, and work directly with Engineering and Product Management to implement changes to deliver the best member experience possible. Your team is Tier 2 and Tier 3 support. They are the last stop before engineering; the most complex issues not resolved through other support channels are escalated to your team to investigate, triage, and resolve.
In addition to providing operational support for member escalations, your team is chartered to champion product quality, and it is your role to drive strategic initiatives to improve product quality across your suite of products and the entire company. Your team plays an essential role in raising the bar of product quality by advocating the user's perspective, providing technical insights, and fostering collaboration.

This role requires a strong people leader, with a passion for developing and transforming your team.
