What the job involves

Hedra is looking for a seasoned Support Manager to build/lead our customer support team and enhance the way we serve our users. The right candidate will be both tech-savvy and deeply familiar with content creation, with a strong background in leading support teams and improving user experiences
Lead and support a team of agents and specialists to provide fast, thoughtful, and effective assistance to users
Develop and optimize support workflows, processes, and tools to ensure a high-quality customer experience
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to represent user feedback and drive improvements
Resolve complex or escalated support issues with professionalism and efficiency

Our take

The relationship between machine learning and online content has grown closer in recent years, and Hedra is a video content platform that is pushing this symbiosis into new territory. Describing itself as a video foundation mode company, Hedra is building an online creation studio that helps users generate dialogue, audio and video from words.

As a digital presence automation tool, Hedra is moving beyond the likes of DallE and generative AI video content into more nuanced territory. Its most recent product is Character1, a video foundation model for longer-form video generation focusing on customizable AI-generated video characters.

Since Character1’s release in June 2024, more than 1.6 million videos have been generated via the platform, demonstrating the need for its August seed funding round. The $10 million investment will be channelled into developing new technology like a multimodal studio and workflow tool to complement its foundation model.
