You’ll work closely with the Head of Product Support and Support Operations Manager to improve processes, strengthen team performance, and provide insight into what’s working and what needs attention.

- Monitor support queues, team performance, and key support metrics
- Identify operational improvements across processes, tooling, and training
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to share customer insights and improve support outcomes
- Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and team training
Qualifications
What we're looking for
- Experience with support platforms such as JSM, Zendesk, or similar
- Hands-on experience with Atlassian products, including Jira, Confluence, and/or Bitbucket

- Experience writing code — Groovy or JavaScript/TypeScript preferred
- Experience working with cloud-hosted products such as AWS or Azure
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Experience leading or managing a support team
