About the Role

The Lead, Support Enablement plays a proactive role in technical engagement for high-priority managed accounts. As a customer advocate and a key link between Technical Support and managed accounts, the SEL provides visibility into complex issues, coordinates cross-functional efforts, manages risk, and helps drive effective outcomes and customer satisfaction.

• Escalation Management and Customer Advocacy: Coordinate critical escalations and develop clear, fact-based narratives; serve as liaison during sensitive or executive escalations; provide structured customer updates and set realistic expectations; relay customer pain points to internal teams.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Support Supervisors, TAC, Product, Engineering, CSMs, TAMs, and other stakeholders; facilitate internal coordination, including Slack communication for managed domains, and clarify ownership and follow-through.

• Account Enablement, Documentation, and Reporting: Lead account discovery to understand customer context, technology usage, integrations, and key contacts; maintain documentation in Salesforce, Monday.com, CSI, and Looker as applicable; define engagement intensity (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green); track escalation resolution efficiency, proactive case reduction, and SLA compliance; prepare timely account and case reports.
