This is a critical, high-visibility role focused on ensuring our B2B customers -innovators in EV charging, autonomous drones, smart metering, and other IoT verticals receive world-class technical support. You will be responsible for managing our offshore support team, optimizing all support processes, and acting as the escalation point for complex connectivity and provisioning issues.

    • Foster a customer-centric and high-performance culture within the distributed team.
  • Process Oversight & Optimization:
    • Design, document, and continuously improve all support processes, including ticketing (FreshDesk), knowledge base (Atlassian Confluence), and escalation procedures.
    • Create and maintain technical documentation and playbooks for common and emerging issues.
  • Technical Escalation Management:
    • Act as the primary technical escalation point for critical customer incidents, platform outages, and complex connectivity scenarios.
    • Triage, investigate, and own high-priority issues from start to finish, coordinating with internal Engineering, Product, and Carrier Relations teams.
    • Diagnose complex issues related to eSIM provisioning, SM-SR/SM-DP/EIM interactions, platform APIs, and MNO core network behavior.
  • Customer & Stakeholder Advocacy:
    • Communicate clearly and effectively with high-value B2B customers during critical incidents.
    • Analyze support ticket trends to provide actionable feedback to the Product and Engineering teams, helping to improve product reliability and functionality.
Required Skills & Experience
  • 5+ years in technical support for a telecom, MVNO, or IoT/M2M SaaS company.
  • 2+ years in a management or team lead role, with direct experience managing remote or offshore technical teams in a 24/7 environment.
  • Deep Domain Knowledge:
    • Strong understanding of the mobile/cellular ecosystem (MNOs, MVNOs, 3GPP).
    • Experience in eSIM architecture and GSMA standards, including the technical differences and support challenges of SGP.02 (M2M) and SGP.32 (IoT) specifications.
    • Familiarity with IoT connectivity platforms (CMPs) and M2M/IoT device behavior.
  • Proven B2B Support: Experience supporting B2B hardware manufacturers or IoT solution providers.
  • Process Expert: A systems-thinker with a proven track record of building and scaling support operations (ITIL or similar process-framework experience is a plus).
  • Crisis Management: Exceptional problem-solving skills and a calm, composed demeanor during high-pressure situations.
