  • Lead and scale a high-performing global organization across multiple regions, developing leaders and building a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive the transformation of Support through AI, automation, self-service, and knowledge management to improve efficiency, customer experience, and scalability.
  • Establish and optimize operational processes, support engineering practices, escalation management, and service delivery across a follow-the-sun model.
  • Own support performance through data and metrics, including CSAT, SLA attainment, quality, productivity, deflection, and operational efficiency.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Professional Services, Sales, and Marketing to resolve customer challenges and influence product improvements.
  • Represent the voice of the customer at the executive level, using customer insights to shape product strategy and business priorities.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health benefits program for employees and dependents (plans vary by location).
  • Family-friendly policies include parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
  • Numerous fitness and therapy options to support your total well-being.
  • Four global days off so you can take the needed break.
  • Hybrid work model encourages flexibility and autonomy, and is balanced with in-office collaboration.
  • Company-wide DEI initiatives to enrich our team, technologies and communities.

  • Exceptional executive communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • Deep technical credibility, with the ability to engage effectively on APIs, SDKs, integrations, and complex technical issues.
  • Demonstrated success scaling global, follow-the-sun support organizations during periods of rapid growth.
  • 10+ years leading global technical support, developer support, support engineering, or customer success organizations in enterprise SaaS.
  • Strong operational leadership with expertise in metrics, process improvement, organizational design, and service excellence.
  • Proven experience driving AI-enabled support transformation, including conversational AI, automation, knowledge management, and LLM-powered workflows.
