Unikie Marshalling is looking for an experienced Head of Global Customer Support to build and lead our customer support capability as our autonomous driving solutions move from pilots into production operations.

This is a leadership and organization-building role. You will define how we support customers globally and build the people, processes and partnerships required to deliver reliable production support.

• Define the global support operating model, responsibilities and escalation paths.
• Establish and manage strategic global support partnerships.
• Own support performance, SLAs and critical customer escalations.
• Develop scalable incident management, monitoring and service processes.
• Work closely with customers, engineering, deployment teams and partners to continuously improve service quality.

WHY JOIN US?

This is an opportunity to build a global customer support capability from the ground up for cutting-edge autonomous driving and robotics solutions. You will have a significant role in shaping our support organization, operating model and global partner ecosystem while working with major automotive and industrial customers.

CONSIDERED AN ADVANTAGE

• Robotics, autonomous systems or industrial automation support.
• Automotive or industrial manufacturing environments.
• 24/7, high-availability or mission-critical operations.
• ITIL/ITSM and SLA-driven support organizations.
