As VP Customer Support, you will own the global operational performance of the platform across a portfolio of enterprise customers.

This includes leading support, customer operations, and deployment functions, while ensuring reliability, scalability, and a seamless customer experience.

Responsibilities:

• Own global 24/7 platform operations, including customer support and overall system performance across deployments and robot fleets
• Act as the senior escalation point for enterprise customers, managing VP/C-level stakeholders and high-impact issues
• Build and scale structured support, deployment, and customer success processes, with clear ownership across Ops, Product, and Engineering
• Lead, hire, and develop a high-performing global team while providing operational insight and reporting to executive leadership

Requirements:

• 8–12\+ years in Platform Operations, Service Delivery, or Technical Support within SaaS, robotics, IoT, or industrial environments
• Experience working with large enterprise customers in heavy industry (e.g. energy, infrastructure) and handling high-stakes escalations
• Proven leadership track record managing and scaling teams (5\+), with a strong focus on execution and operational excellence
• Structured, process-driven operator with strong communication skills, comfortable operating in ambiguity and at executive level
