Senior Manager - Technical Support EngineeringActive

The opportunity

As Senior Manager, Technical Support Engineering, you'll shape the future of our technical support function. You'll lead and develop a team of technical support specialists and establish a new technical support engineering function.

What you'll do

  • Set the direction for the technical support craft. Translate company goals: into a clear strategy for the function: strong technical capability, collaborative ways of working, and consistent delivery. Define what excellent technical support looks like and build the roadmap to get there.

  • Lead and grow technical support experts. Guide technical support experts: across countries, mentoring them to strengthen technical judgment, troubleshooting depth, and execution. Build a culture of expertise, accountability, and continuous improvement that scales beyond a single team or geography.

  • Develop specialist talent. Create clear growth paths for technical support: engineers and specialists, identifying where deeper product and platform expertise will have the greatest impact. Invest in coaching and knowledge-sharing so expertise scales across teams rather than sitting with a few individuals.

  • Evolve the support model. Modernize how technical support operates, driving: specialization, workflow optimization, and the thoughtful adoption of automation and AI. Reduce operational friction and ensure the team is enabled to focus on the highest-value, most technically complex problems.

  • Measure what matters. Mature how success is measured, going beyond core: support metrics to quality, technical effectiveness, and customer outcomes. Use data to guide priorities, track the impact of key initiatives, and feed learnings back into the broader support strategy.

  • Partner across Engineering, Product, and GTM. Build trusted relationships: with cross-functional peers and senior stakeholders. Represent the voice of technical support in planning and decision-making, ensuring the function's priorities are understood and reflected in broader company direction.

What they're looking for

  • Drive product and experience improvements. Identify the patterns behind: complex customer pain points and turn them into clear opportunities for Product and Engineering. Help fixing friction at the source for the benefit of both customers and support teams.
  • Lead through growth and change. Bring clarity and steadiness as the function: scales, guiding teams through product launches, organizational change, and new ways of working.
