  • Build and mature the support framework for our indirect model—developing repeatable processes, knowledge-sharing practices, and technical training to enable partner success.

  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to provide actionable insights from the field that shape roadmap priorities and improve service reliability.
  • Champion change management initiatives to ensure operational readiness and smooth partner transitions during product and process updates.
  • Foster a culture of learning and empowerment, emphasizing accountability, collaboration, and customer impact across the team.

  • Demonstrated success managing global or multi-region teams within a high-volume, technical support or service environment.
  • Proven ability to operationalize KPIs such as CSAT, MTTR, backlog control, and escalation closure rate.
  • Experience in indirect or channel support models, ideally within telematics, IoT, or fleet technology sectors.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills, able to inspire and develop teams across cultures and levels.
  • Cross-functional collaboration skills, especially with Engineering, Product Management, Sales and Operations.
  • 5+ years’ experience managing technical support teams
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical field or equivalent experience.

What Success Looks Like

  • Builds and mentors a high-performing, globally aligned technical support team that combines deep technical skill with strong business awareness.
  • Advocates relentlessly for partners, ensuring their needs and feedback directly shape internal priorities, process improvements, and product evolution.
  • Creates a culture of enablement over dependency — empowering partners to resolve issues faster through shared knowledge, tools, and clear playbooks.
  • Strengthens collaboration between Support, Product, and Engineering, ensuring partner-impacting issues are visible, prioritized, and resolved.
  • Delivers consistent improvements in key metrics — CSAT, MTTR, backlog, and escalation rate — through disciplined execution and continuous optimization.
