As the Vice President (VP) of Global Support, you will lead the transformation of our customer support function from a traditional, phone-based model to an omnichannel, digital-first, and self-service-driven experience.

You will drive this transformation across multiple regions, building a hybrid support structure that integrates onshore, nearshore, and offshore resources. This role demands a visionary leader experienced in global support transformation, with a strong track record of building competency centers and scaling support services.

• Lead the design and execution of a comprehensive support transformation, leveraging omnichannel routing, automation, and digital support channels.
• Architect and implement a digital-first customer experience strategy using tools such as Salesforce Service Cloud, AI (e.g. Drift), SMS texting platforms, IVR intelligence, and forward-thinking AI/ML plugins.
• Build and manage global support competency centers across onshore, nearshore, and offshore regions to ensure 24x7x365, follow-the-sun support coverage.
