• Take accountability for end-to-end issue management, including prioritization, root cause analysis, resolution, and stakeholder communication.
• Drive proactive identification of recurring issues, operational bottlenecks, and technical risks, and lead initiatives to address them at scale.
• Establish, refine, and enforce processes, documentation, and best practices that improve efficiency, quality, and predictability.
• Monitor team capacity, ticket volumes, and performance metrics, and adjust resourcing or priorities as needed to meet business demands.
• Contribute to the development of tools, reporting, and internal enablement that improves troubleshooting and empowers partner teams.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in a technical, customer-facing role within a SaaS, digital marketing, or technology-driven environment, including people leadership responsibilities.

• Strong hands-on technical background, with experience supporting and troubleshooting client integrations on SaaS platforms.
• Proficiency with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, REST APIs, FTP, and related systems.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze logs, data, and system behavior to diagnose and resolve complex issues.
• Experience leading teams in fast-paced, high-volume support or technical services environments.
• Clear, confident communication skills in English, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a calm, professional, and solution-oriented manner.
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset, with the ability to anticipate problems, drive improvements, and lead through ambiguity.
