  • Act as an Internal Partner: Build and leverage strong relationships across the global Support team and cross-functional partners (Product, Sales, Professional Services, Engineering) to drive coordinated support and service delivery.
  • Own Strategic Projects: Lead and participate in important support initiatives designed to improve service delivery and the overall customer support experience with responsibility for effective change management.
  • Ensure Federal Program Compliance & Coverage: Oversee adherence to contractual SLAs and confidentiality requirements specific to US Federal engagements, including managing continuity of the team's required overnight shift coverage (Sunday-Wednesday / Wednesday-Saturday) and the onboarding-to-overnight transition plan for new engineers.
