• Own and improve support processes, workflows, and policies to drive faster, more effective resolutions.
• Identify opportunities for self-service through improved documentation, automation, and product feedback loops.

Systems & Reporting

• Own the configuration and optimisation of Zendesk (or equivalent) to support scalable operations.
• Create actionable reports and dashboards to monitor support performance, identify trends, and inform strategic decisions.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and the wider Customer Success team to ensure customer feedback drives product improvements.
• Act as the voice of the customer within the organisation, advocating for enhancements to the customer experience.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience transforming and managing a high-performing SaaS customer support or service desk team, ideally in a multi-region setup.
• Deep understanding of modern support tools like Zendesk, Intercom, or similar platforms.
• Passionate, people-first leader with excellent coaching, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
• Data-driven mindset with strong analytical and decision-making abilities.
• Experience supporting multiple products in a fast-paced, scaling SaaS environment.
• Familiarity with L&D, HR tech, or edtech industries is a plus.
• Comfortable working remotely with a distributed team and stakeholders.

What We Offer

• A flexible, remote-friendly culture with a supportive and inclusive team.
• Opportunities to innovate and shape the direction of customer support in a growing company.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• A mission-driven product that’s making a real difference in how people learn and grow.
