The Head of Customer Support Technology is responsible for transforming Customer Support into an AI-first, automation-led, insight-driven organization.

This leader will design and execute a technology strategy where AI is not an add-on, but the foundation of how support operates — from customer self-service and intelligent routing to real-time agent augmentation and predictive service operations.

The role sits in the IT organization, and will define how emerging AI capabilities fundamentally reshape customer experience, agent productivity, and cost structure.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Palo Alto / San Francisco or New York City for our hybrid working model.
