Job description

Join Our Mission: Help the Helpers with Jane

Let’s kick things off with a quick intro. Jane is a team that’s all about fostering growth, spreading delight, and serving our healthcare community. We’re looking for people who are ready to jump in and join us as we simplify the lives of healthcare practitioners and patients every day.

At Jane, success means collaborating with your team, delivering an aligned result with efficiency and quality, communicating clearly and openly, and embracing continuous improvement. And guess what? Jane is a remote-first company, so every role, including this one, gives you the freedom to work from anywhere in Canada.

About the Role

At Jane, we believe customer support is more than solving problems, it’s about making people feel heard, supported, and empowered. As a Customer Support Lead, you’ll work closely with a group of 4 to 6 Team Captains, each leading their own team of 8 Support Drivers. Your role is to help them thrive as people leaders, grow in their leadership journey, and ensure that our day-to-day operations run smoothly.

You’ll also support meaningful projects that improve how we serve our customers, the team and Jane.  You’ll play a key role in fostering a positive work environment, ensuring that our team and our customers feel valued, heard, and celebrated. Your leadership will help us meet our goals and continue to deliver support experiences that feel thoughtful, human, and genuinely helpful.

Learn More About Us

We're founder-led, which means we live our values while maintaining a clear vision for the future. Our product enables the likes of physiotherapists, mental health counsellors, chiropractors, and other allied health practitioners to run their practices in a digital-first way through features such as online booking, charting, scheduling, telehealth, secure payments and billing along with an evolving library of features. You can see more of them here.

We're a company that is growing rapidly, and with that comes the challenge of navigating an environment with many moving parts, often without a clear-cut path laid out in front of us. If you're the kind of person who gets a kick out of being resourceful and loves solving problems, we would love to hear from you.

No doubt, Jane's a special place to work. There is autonomy and flexibility to help integrate work into your life in a way that makes sense for you. Need to block out time to pick up the kids? Go for it. That's normal here. And yes, we have a Slack channel for parents, but we've also got channels dedicated to plants, furry friends, food, pride, wellness - you get the idea! While we love to connect virtually, the Jane team also connects in person throughout the year.

We believe in collaboration, humility, and keeping a growth mindset. We're looking for people who can embrace our way of working, which often means being flexible and open to change. So, if after reading this, you feel excited about the opportunity — all in the name of helping those who help others — reach out to us to learn more.

If you're excited by our growth, ready to contribute to a challenging yet rewarding environment, and eager to be a disruptor alongside a team of talented individuals, we’d love to hear from you!

  • A developer of people: You see leadership development as one of your core strengths. You’ve helped others grow in their roles, stretch into new responsibilities, and find confidence in their voice as leaders. You lead with feedback, empathy, and a genuine belief in helping others thrive.
  • Data-informed and action-oriented: You’re confident working with dashboards and performance data to guide decisions and coaching. You use data to inform, not overwhelm, and always look for ways to translate numbers into behaviours and actions.
  • A clear and thoughtful communicator: You communicate with empathy and intention, whether you’re supporting a team member, managing an escalation, or working cross-functionally. You know when to listen, when to coach, and when to take the lead.
  • Adaptable and grounded: You bring steadiness in the face of change and support your team through it. You’re curious, solutions-focused, and always open to evolving how we work and grow.
  • Tech-Savvy: You’ve worked with CRM or support platforms and feel confident learning new tools to enhance the customer experience. Bonus if you’re familiar with Help Scout, Talkdesk, Asana, or Jira.
  • People-oriented: You thrive in a people-centric role and have a genuine desire to help others succeed, whether that’s your team or our customers.  You are obsessed with team engagement.
