We are looking for a Technical Support Team Lead to join our Support team. Reporting to the CIO, this role blends hands-on technical problem-solving with team leadership, making it ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to guide and develop others while staying close to the work.

You’ll line manage two Technical Support Analysts, coordinate the day-to-day running of the support desk, and take ownership of escalated issues. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our customers receive timely, accurate, and empathetic support, while also building a motivated, skilled, and customer-focused team.

This is not internal IT support - you and your team will be directly supporting our customers, helping them get maximum value from our platform while resolving their issues with speed and professionalism.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and support the Technical Support Analysts, providing coaching, guidance, and regular feedback.

• Manage ticket flow: monitor queues, allocate work, and ensure SLAs and priorities are met.

• Act as the escalation point for complex customer issues, troubleshooting independently and collaborating with engineering and product teams when needed.

• Ensure quality and consistency across all customer communications.

• Identify recurring issues and work with internal teams to suggest fixes, improvements, or automation.

• Maintain and improve knowledge bases, FAQs, and processes to enhance the customer experience.

• Share insights and feedback with product, engineering, and customer success teams to improve our platform.

• Help manage the support rota, including out-of-hours coverage, ensuring fairness and service continuity.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a technical support, service desk, or customer-facing troubleshooting role, ideally in a SaaS or technology-driven business.

• Previous experience mentoring or leading others (formal line management experience is a plus).

• Strong technical troubleshooting skills, with confidence handling escalations.

• Comfortable using browser developer tools, cloud platforms and running SQL queries for investigations.

• Highly organised, with the ability to balance workload distribution and competing priorities.

• Customer-first mindset: empathetic, professional, and focused on positive outcomes.

• Clear communicator, both when coaching your team and when working directly with customers.

• Proactive and accountable, with the resilience to lead by example in a dynamic environment.

• Keen to learn and develop your leadership and technical skills further.
  
  

Location & Work Environment:

Our hub is in Derby, but the role is fully remote and flexible. You’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive team with opportunities for growth and development in a fast-moving SaaS business.

If you’re excited about working with cutting-edge supply chain technology in a role that blends technical problem-solving with customer success, we’d love to hear from you!
