Full Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Technical Support to lead our global customer support function across two distinct teams: an L1 team of 6 analysts based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and a remote L2 team. You will own the operational performance, quality, and development of both teams, and you will be responsible for ensuring that the right work lands at the right level — with L1 handling high-volume, well-defined requests, and L2 owning complex, technical, and escalated cases.

You have managed managers or led multiple teams, not just individual contributors. You are comfortable holding people accountable, having difficult conversations early, and building a culture where the team knows where it stands and feels supported to grow. This is not a first management role. Using data and AI to drive decisions and accountability. You use data as a matter of habit — to spot trends, quantify problems, and hold others accountable across both teams. You are genuinely curious about AI tools and how they can make the function smarter and faster. You can translat
