- You’ll be trusted to run your portfolio without micromanagement or reporting theatre
- You’ll help embed AI and automation into service delivery in practical, outcome‑focused ways

- Leading a pod of 12 to 15 support professionals (largely Philippines‑based) and owning their performance, alignment and growth
- Taking accountability for SLAs, client satisfaction, escalations and overall operational excellence
- Acting as the primary operational escalation point for clients and collaborating closely with Dispatch, Projects, Engineering and Client Services
- Driving continuous improvement, using AI and automation to eliminate recurring issues and lift efficiency and quality
- Ensuring support agreements are met, measured and continually improved
