Manager, Technical Support

This role blends strategic oversight with hands-on execution and people leadership. This is not a product-specific role. You’ll operate across products, regions, and teams to ensure a clear technical ownership of complex, high-impact escalations, strong prioritisation and structured escalation pathways. Operational consistency as headcount and complexity grow and scalable systems, processes, and tooling for Technical Support. You’ll complement our global leadership by adding strong day-to-day technical management and execution as the team expands.
