GDX Elevated Support Manager, International

The DX Elevated Support Manager leads and develops the Elevated Diagnostics Support Specialists for the global DX team, ensuring first-class support to internal and external diagnostics stakeholders across multiple regions and time zones—operationally focused on international markets while maintaining global alignment, coverage, and elevated-support standards (product and connectivity).

The team delivers advanced, escalation-level support to Level 1 Tech Support agents, distributors, and field force representatives across the diagnostics portfolio, spanning instrument operation, applications, troubleshooting, and complex problem resolution.

In a player-coach capacity, the manager actively supports case resolution by partnering with specialists on high-impact and complex escalations—triaging, driving investigation plans, removing roadblocks, and ensuring timely, high-quality customer outcomes—while simultaneously coaching to strengthen technical depth, decision-making, and consistent escalation practices. The leader collaborates closely with Diagnostics Product Support Managers (DPSMs), training teams, and tech support supervisors to ensure technical and process messaging is clearly understood and applied at the market level, and to continuously feed market insights, recurring issues, and product/support needs back into the broader organization.

• Actively monitor and optimize elevated queue performance (general + connectivity)—backlog health, timeliness, resolution quality, and cross-team handoffs—stepping in as needed on priority cases to remove blockers, accelerate decisions, and reinforce best-practice investigation and communication.
• Ensure the team owns and manages the L2 queue in the most optimal way (in collaboration with first-line experts and DPSMs) across regions and time zones—expanding scope to include connectivity case management where applicable—while coaching triage discipline, documentation quality, knowledge capture, and repeatable resolution playbooks.
