Role purpose

This role exists to keep our Americas (AMER) customer support operation consistently healthy and high-performing. They do this by leading a team of Support Analysts, owning the day-to-day shift, and delivering the process and artificial intelligence (AI) improvements that raise customer satisfaction and make support easier to scale.

 

Key responsibilities

• Own the health and performance of the AMER shift, making real-time decisions on coverage, queue priorities, and workload so customers get fast, high-quality support every day

• Build an engaged, high-performing team by coaching and developing Support Analysts through regular one-on-ones, performance conversations, and career development

• Act as the primary escalation point for analysts, taking complex, sensitive, or high stakes customer issues through to resolution so nothing falls between teams

• Use team data (customer satisfaction, service level agreement adherence, productivity) to find patterns, diagnose root causes, and coach or correct course before issues escalate

• Design and deliver new workflows and projects from scoping through rollout, and make sure the changes stick with the team

• Monitor AI chatbot performance daily and work with the Quality & Training and AI teams to improve AI-driven support workflows, measuring the impact on efficiency and customer satisfaction

• Partner with Talent Acquisition to hire Support Analysts and give new starters a smooth, effective start so they get up to speed quickly

• Bring the voice of the customer to Customer Experience, Product, and Engineering, and give senior leadership clear, structured reporting on team performance

 

Required skills & experience

Technical skills

• Proven track record of running an operational customer support team in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) or technology environment, with strong command of queues, coverage, and shift planning

• Ability to turn performance data into clear coaching decisions and operational changes

• Experience scoping, delivering, and embedding process improvements across a team

• Sound judgement in handling sensitive or high-stakes customer escalations

• Clear written and verbal reporting for both team and senior leadership audiences

 

Behavioural skills

• Coaches with honesty and care, giving direct feedback that helps people grow, and welcomes feedback in return

• Acts quickly on low-risk decisions and slows down for the ones that are hard to reverse

• Comfortable with ambiguity: breaks undefined problems into action without needing a perfect brief

• Solution-oriented: brings options, not just problems, to leaders and cross functional partners

• Makes decisions with the customer in mind, especially when trade-offs are hard

• Invests in analysts' success and the wider team's results, not just their own

 

AI skills

• Uses AI tools day to day to analyse team and queue data, spot trends, and prepare reporting

• Can evaluate the quality and accuracy of AI-generated support responses and guide analysts in supervising and correcting them

• Able to suggest, test, and measure improvements to AI-driven support workflows

• Good to have: understanding of AI strategy in customer support, and how team level improvements connect to the wider direction

 

Success looks like

• Team consistently meets customer satisfaction and service level agreement targets

• Support Analysts are engaged, growing, and escalating only when necessary

• Process and AI workflow projects are delivered on time and are still being used afterwards

• Recurring issues spotted in team data are fixed at the root cause

• The shift runs steadily, even when things get complex
