About Rapsodo

Rapsodo is a global sports technology company transforming how athletes train and improve through data, video, and performance analytics. With headquarters in Singapore and offices across the United States, Turkey, Japan, and Malaysia, Rapsodo delivers professional-grade performance technology to athletes, coaches, and teams at every level.

Our technology is used by Major League Baseball organizations, leading golf professionals, NCAA athletic departments, and thousands of athletes worldwide.

As we continue expanding our hardware + software ecosystem, marketing plays a critical role in driving product adoption, community engagement, and recurring platform usage.

Requirements
What We're Looking For

Experience

10+ years of experience across Customer Experience, Support, Customer Operations, or related functions

Proven track record of building and scaling support and customer experience systems, not just managing teams

Experience working in environments that combine hardware, software, and customer-facing operations

Strong experience building processes and infrastructure in ambiguous or early-stage environments

Experience leveraging automation, data, or AI tools to scale customer experience or support operations

Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams to translate customer issues into product improvements
