Customer Advocacy & Escalation Management

• Act as the ultimate escalation point for complex or high-priority issues, ensuring rapid resolution and clear communication to internal and external stakeholders.
  
  
• Represent the voice of the customer to internal teams, influencing product and engineering decisions to improve usability and stability.
  
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineers to triage critical bugs, ensure release readiness, and provide customer-driven feedback for roadmap decisions.
  
  
• Collaborate with Customer Success and Sales to manage critical customer situations and support onboarding for strategic accounts.
  
  

Process & Tooling Innovation

• Drive automation and tooling improvements to streamline support workflows and enable customer self-service.
  
  
• Maintain and expand internal and external documentation to reduce ticket volume and improve customer experience.

• Provide regular updates to the Head of Engineering on team performance, escalations, and strategic initiatives.
  
  

We're Excited About You Because You Have

• 5+ years in technical support, including 2+ years leading teams.
  
  
• Proven experience managing support teams in a SaaS environment, ideally with distributed or remote structures.
