What you'll do
- Lead, manage and grow the Singapore support team, making it the go-to source of knowledge for all IT queries.
- Help design and build a "follow the sun" support model with regional teams, so staff get consistent support across time zones.
- Work with support peers in other regions to deliver consistent, high-quality service to staff worldwide.
- Coach and mentor team members to troubleshoot complex hardware, network and integration issues, and help them develop both their technical and interpersonal skills.
- Set clear team goals and communicate them well, keeping them aligned with company values and priorities.
- Track and report team performance using KPIs and data, driving accountability, consistency and efficiency.
- Handle escalations from staff and senior stakeholders, resolving issues promptly and managing expectations.
- Help shape the global support strategy by identifying process improvements and sharing best practice across regions.
What you'll bring
- 10+ years in technology roles, including at least 3 years leading or developing technical support teams.
- Experience in financial services is strongly preferred.
- A track record of working with teams across regions, time zones and cultures.
- Strong problem-solving skills: you find root causes, design robust support processes and drive operational excellence.
- Confidence acting as the escalation point for IT issues.
- Good judgement in balancing commercial needs against technical feasibility and the wider support strategy.
- Working knowledge of VoIP, networking, IT security, cloud storage, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
- Excellent communication skills. You can explain technical issues in plain terms and influence stakeholders at every level.
