Requirements

  • Experienced building and scaling globally distributed support models, including follow-the-sun coverage and regional leadership layers (LATAM, Europe, APAC strongly preferred).
  • Strong executive communicator who can translate frontline insights into strategic product and retention improvements.
  • Obsessed with customer outcomes, but equally rigorous about operational discipline, efficiency, and measurable performance.
