Your responsibilities
- Drive the regional vision: You will act as the architect for AMER Customer Support, translating global goals into a regional strategy. Define what "world-class" looks like for our customers in this region and build the roadmap to get there.

- Evolve the Customer Support craft: You will champion a culture of continuous upskilling, creating professional development opportunities for the specialists. By pinpointing where deeper technical expertise and sharper customer-facing skills will have the greatest impact, you’ll ensure our specialists are at the forefront of the industry, moving the team toward higher-impact, value-driven customer interactions.
- Refine the engine: Together with your team, you will uncover operational “leaks” and evolve more mature, scalable workflows. You’ll take a range of approaches, from targeted fixes to leading larger improvement programs, so specialists spend less time navigating complexity and more time solving what matters most to customers.
- Standardize excellence through data: You will mature how we measure success in AMER, moving beyond the basics. You’ll turn insights into action, using data to guide regional priorities and feed learnings back into our global strategy.
- Enable customer outcomes: Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Professional Services to support customers throughout their journey, elevating the experience for all customers, delivering a differentiated premium support offering, and building trusted relationships that strengthen long-term partnership.
- Drive product and experience improvements: Partner with Product and Engineering to spot patterns behind customer pain, turn them into clear opportunities, and help drive improvements that remove friction at the source, helping customers stay successful and lifting the customer experience.
- **Lead through evolution: **In a fast-changing environment, bring clarity and steadiness. Guide teams through product launches, organizational shifts, and new support methodologies. Foster an inclusive, high-accountability culture where default-to-action is the standard.

- Organizational design and talent development: Experience designing and evolving team structures, developing specialists and future leaders, and creating clear growth paths that unlock capability and maximize impact.
- Operational excellence: Ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on problem-solving, identifying operational friction, improving workflows, and strengthening how support runs day to day, using modern support platforms (e.g. Zendesk, Salesforce) and analytics to understand performance, spot opportunities, and guide priorities.
- Customer-first, outcome-driven mindset: You consistently start from the customer perspective and take ownership of delivering outcomes, not just activity. You use customer insights and operational signals to prioritize what matters most, drive improvements that reduce friction and strengthen experience, aligning partners across the organization and senior stakeholders around what delivers real impact.
