Team Lead - Product Support
Coverflex
Work changed. Pay didn’t.
Coverflex exists to make compensation work for everyone.
Pay is still rigid, fragmented, and hard to feel.
We turn compensation into choice — one platform, one card, one app — for benefits, meal allowance, insurance and more.
Our platform is simple for HR and meaningful for employees.
We provide choice, smarter compensation tools and empowerment.

⚡ Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard
Let’s be real - here’s what makes this role challenging:
- You’ll need to lead an operational team while also having a builder’s mindset, not a pure “management-only” profile
- You must thrive in ambiguity, proactively creating scalable workflows
- You’ll be supporting a market that is fast-moving and soon to be the largest in the company, meaning pressure, growth, and constant evolution
- The role requires strong process orientation, data-driven decision-making, and continuous optimisation
👤 You
Must-haves (evidence, not years)
- Experienced in managing people
-
Strong process mindset and ability to share best practices
-
Adaptability in a fast-changing environment
- Data-driven decision-making
- Fluency in Italian & English
Nice-to-have
- Experience in customer support
-
Familiarity with ticketing systems
🧬 Your DNA
- Resilience: You stay grounded under pressure and adapt quickly to fast-changing contexts
-
Analytical Thinking: You base decisions on data, patterns, and evidence — not intuition alone
-
Proactivity: You anticipate needs, take initiative, and drive improvements without being prompted
-
Cultural Alignment: You naturally embody Coverflex’s values, mindset, and collaborative spirit
-
Challenger Mindset: You question assumptions, challenge the status quo, and seek better ways of working
-
Structure-Building: You turn ambiguity into clarity by creating scalable processes and frameworks
- Tech & Automation Orientation: You leverage AI, automation, and metrics to boost efficiency, quality, and team performance
You’ll probably find this frustrating if…
- You rely on intuition rather than data
- You prefer maintaining systems rather than building them
- You avoid experimentation or structured process improvement
- You dislike cross-team collaboration, transparency, or ownership
- You resist using automation or AI in daily operations
