About the Role
We’re looking for a people-first leader to manage our UK Technical Support team in Solihull. You’ll run the day-to-day support operation for the region, making sure we deliver timely, high-quality responses to customers and partners.
This role is about leading people and operations more than hands-on technical troubleshooting. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you should understand how to run a global B2B support function, balance workloads, manage escalations, and motivate a team to deliver excellent customer experiences.
This role operates on a hybrid model, with a mix of remote work and in-office collaboration at our Solihull location, specifically, working in-office 3 days per week.
Impact you will make in the role:
- Lead the team: Line-manage Support Specialists and Senior Specialists; set goals, run regular 1:1s, and coach your team to achieve their potential.
- Run the operation: Manage the rotation, balance workloads across frontline support, and keep queues healthy with timely responses and resolutions.
- Meet commitments: Deliver on SLAs/OLAs, track metrics (First Response Time, Resolution Time, backlog health), and take proactive action on risks.
- Handle escalations & incidents: Act as the point of contact for regional escalations, coordinate with Product and Engineering, and lead external communications including post-incident reports.
- Drive quality & consistency: Embed processes, documentation standards, and QA reviews to strengthen how support is delivered.
- Champion customers: Represent customer feedback, escalate recurring pain points, and partner with Product/Engineering to drive improvements.
- Contribute globally: Work with colleagues in North America and Europe on staffing, tooling, and planning to ensure smooth follow-the-sun coverage.
- Build credibility: Join customer business reviews where support is a key topic and represent our support plans with strategic accounts.
What Success Looks Like:
- SLAs and response/resolution times consistently achieved
- High customer satisfaction (CSAT/NPS) and effective escalation handling
- A motivated, engaged, and high-performing team
- Clear, timely, and professional communications with customers
- Continuous improvement of processes, documentation, and self-service resources
What You Will Bring:
- 5+ years’ experience leading customer-facing support or service delivery teams, ideally within SaaS or enterprise technology
- Strong background in B2B customer service operations (not necessarily technical)
- Confidence managing escalations and major incidents, including direct customer communications
- Sound understanding of support operations and service management practices (ITIL awareness a plus)
- Comfortable using CRM/support platforms
- Proven ability to lead and develop people, with a fair and transparent approach
- Calm under pressure, positive about change, and able to create clarity in ambiguous situations
£50,000 - £60,000 a year
