- Drive KPIs and Metrics: Establish, track, and report on critical performance metrics, ensuring the support team meets or exceeds SLAs, customer satisfaction, and response times.
- Lead Change Management: Be a champion for change, effectively guiding the support team through periods of transformation and ensuring buy-in at all levels.
- Customer Advocacy: Within Automox, we act as a voice for the customer, ensuring that our users' needs and feedback are heard and acted upon.

- Innovative Mindset: Passion for implementing new tools, technologies, and support strategies that drive efficiency and elevate the customer experience.
- Metrics-Driven: Experience establishing, monitoring, and reporting on support KPIs and a commitment to continuous improvement based on data.
- Exceptional Communication: Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, along with excellent stakeholder management skills.
