👇ABOUT YOU

You’re an experienced and driven Technical Support professional with a strong background in leading high-performing IT support teams. With at least four years in technical support and three years in a leadership role, you bring a deep understanding of incident and problem management, service delivery, and performance metrics such as SLAs and KPIs.

You’ve successfully managed hybrid support teams and are familiar with IT service management frameworks like ITIL. Your technical expertise spans troubleshooting, diagnostics, and administration across Windows and Linux environments, and you’re confident using ticketing systems such as ServiceNow or JIRA.

You hold a degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field, along with ITIL Foundation certification. Additional training in customer service or team leadership further supports your ability to lead with empathy and efficiency.

Your personal attributes set you apart: you remain calm under pressure, are highly organised, and have a customer-first mindset. You’re a strong communicator and collaborator, capable of inspiring and developing others while adapting to dynamic environments with resilience.

If you also bring experience in escalation procedures, root cause analysis, remote support tools, or a deeper understanding of network and infrastructure basics, that’s a definite plus.

🧪THE ROLE

We’re looking for a proactive and experienced Technical Support Team Leader to oversee our support operations and drive service excellence. This role is key to ensuring incidents and problems are resolved efficiently, service levels are consistently met, and our support function continues to evolve through continuous improvement.

As a leader, you’ll work closely with stakeholders across IT and product teams, champion best practices, and foster a customer-focused culture. You’ll be instrumental in shaping support processes, mentoring your team, and ensuring our users receive outstanding service.

Key Responsibilities Summary

• Team Leadership: Lead and mentor the support team, manage incoming requests, enforce SLAs, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Incident & Problem Management: Oversee resolution processes, escalate complex issues, maintain documentation, and implement escalation procedures.
• Service Delivery: Ensure SLAs and KPIs are met, apply best practices, analyse support trends, and uphold IT and security policies.
