The Role

Our customers rely on AiDASH to keep the power on, protect biodiversity, and safeguard lives and livelihoods. When they raise an issue, it's not a ticket—it's a risk to their operations and reputation. That's where you come in.

As our first dedicated Customer Support Leader, you will lead the function that ensures customer issues are rapidly diagnosed, routed, and resolved—while also surfacing patterns, driving systemic fixes, and shaping how we scale support across our global business. This is a hands-on, high-stakes role. You'renot here to run a help desk. You'rehere to lead the nerve center of our customer response.

What You'll Do

Resolve escalated issues end-to-end

Lead the L2 function and act as the primary L2 escalation point for complex or unresolved technical issues from the L1 team
Own high-priority L2 tickets from triage to closure, ensuring deep technical troubleshooting, clear communication, and timely resolution.
Be hands-on: analyze logs, replicate issues, debug root causes, and implement short-term or permanent fixes independently.

Coordinate cross-functionally to unblock

Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to drive resolution of complex technical issues requiring multi-team effort.
Escalate and follow through on dependencies outside the support team's direct control.

Drive operational excellence

Build and maintain structured support workflows—including ticket prioritization, escalation paths, documentation, and handoffs.
Implement and optimize support tools (e.g., Jira, Zendesk) to track status, measure performance, and ensure visibility.

Identify patterns and improve systems

Analyze support trends to distinguish recurring issues from outliers; uncover root causes and recommend product or process changes.
Maintain a backlog of systemic issues and partner with relevant teams to drive long-term resolution.

Represent the customer internally

Act as the voice of the customer in post-incident reviews, product discussions, and planning cycles, using insights from real support cases.
Advocate for product reliability, usability, and supportability based on lived customer challenges.
Deliver concise and actional executive reporting on key metrics –ticket volumes, MTTR, FRT, CSAT, customer pain-points/escalation patterns, system health
Own SLAs, but don't be bound by them: Do what it takes to keep our field users working, even when that means working odd hours or chasing down the right owner across time zones

Who You Are

A hands-on technical leader with 5–7 years in SaaS support, solutions engineering, or technical account management, including hands-on debugging and escalation management
Experienced in coordinating cross-functional issue resolution—you know how to get things fixed even when you don't own the code.
Comfortable managing the day-to-day firefighting while keeping an eye on strategic support improvements.
Able to think analytically and act operationally—whether triaging a ticket or preparing a quarterly support trends deck.
Excellent communicator: You tailor your message for customers, engineers, or execs—with clarity, confidence, and precision
Tool-savvy: Comfortable using and configuring tools like Jira, Zendesk, Amplitude, Confluence, etc.

What you'll love:

A mission that matters—your work protects critical infrastructure and lives.
A global team of the best and brightest across AI, product, field ops, and science.
A seat at the table to shape how AiDASH scales its support model and customer experience.
A fast-moving, respectful culture where outcomes speak louder than org charts.
