Technical Solutions Manager

We’re looking for a Technical Support Manager who is as strong with people as they are with platforms. In this pivotal role, you’ll lead a team of 14 technical support specialists across North America, ensuring they have the tools, guidance, and support to deliver outstanding customer experiences.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-paced SaaS environment. You’ll oversee day-to-day support operations, act as the point of escalation for complex issues, and ensure your team is consistently delivering timely, high-quality technical support for our flagship SaaS systems: Learning Management Systems (LMS), Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), and Chemical Management Systems (CMS/SDS).

You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success teams to solve problems, advocate for our customers, and make sure the support organization has a strong voice in company-wide initiatives.

If you thrive in environments where no two days look the same, know how to balance customer needs with business priorities, and love helping people grow while keeping support operations running smoothly, this is the role for you.
