Head of Customer Support Technology

The Head of Customer Support Technology is responsible for transforming Customer Support into an AI-first, automation-led, insight-driven organization.

This leader will design and execute a technology strategy where AI is not an add-on, but the foundation of how support operates — from customer self-service and intelligent routing to real-time agent augmentation and predictive service operations.
