Role We are looking for an Escalations Manager (EM) to join our Support team in a hybrid capacity, reporting to the Senior Manager, Escalations. The Escalation Manager (EM) is the single point of contact for all incoming escalations to Support (TAC) from customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.

Improvements to systems, processes and tools should be contributed regularly as they are conceived.

Participate in strategic projects to enhance EM processes and tools, identifying opportunities for efficiency and leveraging AI solutions as they emerge
