Technical Support Lead

Contract: Global Technical Support Operations Lead (Interim)

Location: Ireland with hybrid on‑site time in Belfast

Duration: 3–6 months

Start: ASAP

My client is a fast‑scaling SaaS + hardware company in a phase of rapid global growth. We are strengthening our technical support function to support increased demand across regions and time zones.

We’re looking for a hands‑on, interim Technical Support Operations leader to partner closely with our Head of Tech Support and help build the operating foundations for scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner directly with the Head of Tech Support to stand up scalable global support operations.
• Design and implement shift patterns, rostering and on‑call rotations.
• Define and track SLAs.
• Build coverage models (moving from 16×5 toward 24×7).
• Help integrate AI‑assisted tooling into support workflows where appropriate.
• Build and tweak reporting dashboards, workflows, and pipelines (not just design them).
• Provide hands‑on mentoring to the existing support leadership and team.
• Spend meaningful time on‑site in Belfast during the early phase to embed with the team.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience running or scaling technical support operations across multiple regions or time zones.
• Background in SaaS, hardware‑SaaS, devices, or platform businesses.
• Strong operational skill set: scheduling & workforce planning, SLAs & escalation management, support metrics & reporting.
• Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
• Pragmatic, builder mindset — you improve systems by using them.
• Based in Ireland, either week on week off or a couple of days a week in Belfast.
