About Bascom
Bascom is a stable, remote-first e-commerce company that sells high-quality, self-install security camera systems to consumers and SMEs.

Your Role as Customer Support Team Lead
We're looking for a proactive and people-focused leader who is ready to elevate our Customer Support function to the next level. In this role, you won't just lead day-to-day operations, you'll design and implement scalable processes, establish a quality standard, and create the foundations for a modern, future-proof support organization.
You'll combine a strategic mindset with hands-on execution: streamlining workflows, documenting knowledge and procedures, and selecting the right tools and systems to support our growth. You'll also play a key role in connecting our remote team, fostering strong collaboration, and maintaining a high level of team engagement.

* Support the emotional and professional well-being of a remote team
Operational Oversight
* Oversee and improve the daily running of the Customer Support team (scheduling, workflow, SLA adherence)
* Act as the point of contact for external fulfillment and logistics partners
* Coordinate issue resolution for returns, delays, and technical faults
* Ensure technical trends are spotted early and knowledge is updated accordingly
About You
* Experience as a team lead in customer support (ideally technical and/or e-commerce, remote setting is a big plus)
* Strong communicator with a service mindset and cross-cultural sensitivity
* Able to build and optimize processes, document clearly, and lead change with empathy
* Fluent in English; Dutch, German or French is a strong advantage
What You'll Bring
* 2+ years experience in a leadership role within support or service environments
* A structured, coaching leadership style focused on team growth and improvement
* Experience in building and optimizing support processes and implementing tools
* Motivation to build a high-performing, remote-first team while preserving trust and autonomy
The ideal candidate? Someone with experience who wants to build more than just a support team. Someone who wants to shape how we work, connect, and grow as a support-driven organization.
