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.
The ideal candidate is a process-driven leader with a deep technical understanding of the mobile and IoT ecosystem, specifically GSMA standards for M2M (SGP.02) and the new IoT specification (SGP.32).
Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and manage our 24/7 offshore technical support team (Level 1 & Team Lead).
• 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.
Preferred Qualifications
