We’re searching for a Customer Support Director to lead our Customer Support team in London. In this role, you will oversee RLDatix’s regional customer support organisation, accountable for delivering responsive, high-quality, and customer-centric support services that drive satisfaction, retention, and solution stability. This is a highly visible role that spans the full support lifecycle case management, SLA/OLA adherence, escalation handling, knowledge management, self-service enablement, AI-powered support innovation, and process governance ensuring our customers feel supported at every step.

• Establish and own operational performance metrics (SLA compliance, CSAT, NPS, case volume, backlog, and throughput) to ensure support excellence.
• Drive proactive outreach and communications, positioning Support as a relationship-led function, not just ticket resolution.

• Champion AI-powered support innovation, including chatbot tuning, agent-assist tools, and responsible AI adoption.
• Manage escalations and major incidents, coordinating real-time responses, customer updates, and post-incident reviews.
• Ensure service readiness for all product launches, with training, documentation, and enablement in place before release.
• Reduce backlog and aged case volumes through process improvement, resourcing, and cross-functional alignment.
• Provide executive-level reporting with insights, risks, and recommendations for continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• 10+ years’ experience in Customer Support, SaaS Support Operations, or Technical Support leadership.
• Experience leading global support teams across time zones, product lines, and customer segments.
• Proven success delivering high customer satisfaction while meeting SLA/OLA and operational goals.
• Expertise in support platforms such as Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Jira Service Management.
• Strong background in support metrics, reporting, forecasting, and workforce management.
