Our team combines deep cybersecurity expertise, operational rigor, and startup velocity to solve some of the internet’s most urgent trust and safety challenges.
The Role
We are looking for a hands-on technical leader to lead Doppel’s Technical Support & Services function, spanning frontline Customer Support and a team of senior technical resources responsible for advanced escalations, integrations, reporting, and complex customer technical needs.
You will strengthen the path from first-line support through advanced technical resolution, ensuring issues are investigated thoroughly, routed to the right owner, and resolved with minimal unnecessary escalation to Solutions Architecture or Engineering.
This is a player-coach role for someone who can run day-to-day support operations, develop senior technical talent, personally engage in complex escalations, and turn recurring customer work into scalable processes, documentation, automation, and self-service.
What You Will Do
Lead the Organization
- Lead a blended technical support organization consisting of frontline Support contractors and senior technical-services resources.
- Own day-to-day performance of the contracted Support team, including staffing, coverage, training, quality, productivity, and adherence to service-level standards.
- Coach and develop senior technical resources responsible for advanced troubleshooting, integrations, reporting, and complex customer requests.
- Define clear ownership boundaries across Support, Technical Services, Customer Success, Solutions Architecture, Product, and Engineering.
Improve Technical Service Delivery
- Evolve frontline Support from an intake-and-routing function into a disciplined first line of validation, investigation, and resolution that completes all documented Support-owned actions before escalation.
- Establish and enforce escalation-readiness standards requiring clear evidence, investigation findings, completed Support actions, routing rationale, and a specific task before work is handed to Technical Services, Solutions Architecture, Product, or Engineering.
- Improve routing accuracy and reduce duplicate, premature, or multi-team escalations.
- Ensure customers have a clear owner, consistent communication, and documented next steps throughout the case lifecycle.
- Lead critical or technically complex customer escalations when necessary.
Scale Through Advanced Technical Services
- Lead a team of senior technical resources serving as the escalation point between Customer Support / Customer Success and Solutions Architecture, Product, and Engineering.
- Deliver scoped technical services for customers, including integrations, reporting, configuration support, and other complex technical projects.
- Partner with CSMs on technically complex customer needs while keeping commercial account ownership with Customer Success.
- Establish clear criteria for when an issue should remain with Support, move to Technical Services, or escalate to Solutions Architecture, Product, or Engineering.
- Ensure escalations to specialist teams include reproducible evidence, clear expected-versus-actual behavior, actions already taken, and a specific technical request.
- Identify recurring advanced-support work that can be documented, automated, productized, or shifted down to frontline Support over time.
Scale Through Systems and Knowledge
- Turn recurring advanced investigations into playbooks, diagnostics, training, automation, and self-service so increasingly more work can be resolved by frontline Support.
- Improve shared understanding of Doppel’s alert lifecycle, detection pipeline, filtering behavior, integrations, and takedown workflows.
- Partner with Enablement to create technical training and certification programs.
- Identify high-volume manual work that can be automated, incorporated into the product, or supported through self-service.
- Improve visibility across customer-facing and engineering workflows, including ownership, status, service levels, and next steps.
- Use case and escalation data to measure routing quality, Support-owned resolution, specialist escalation volume, and recurring technical demand.
- Build feedback loops from Support and Technical Services into Product and Engineering to identify systemic defects and recurring customer friction.
What We Are Looking For
- 8+ years in technical support / customer engineering / solutions / post-sales.
- 3+ years managing technical customer-facing teams.
- Proven track record of managing technical organizations that integrate frontline customer support with advanced escalation and technical services teams.
- Strong technical troubleshooting, escalation management, and root cause analysis skills.
- Experience supporting a complex enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, cloud, data, or infrastructure product.
- Demonstrated success building support processes, service levels, escalation models, playbooks, and performance metrics.
- Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering on customer escalations and product improvements.
- Ability to communicate credibly with customer technical teams, security leaders, executives, and internal engineering stakeholders.
- A strong record of developing high-performing technical teams.
- Ability to bring structure and accountability to a fast-growing environment.
- Experience overseeing customer-facing technical delivery such as integrations, configuration, reporting, APIs, or scoped technical projects.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, digital risk protection, trust and safety, fraud, or social engineering defense.
- Familiarity with APIs, SSO, identity systems, integrations, cloud platforms, and enterprise security workflows.
- Experience building or scaling advanced support, support engineering, technical services, or customer engineering capabilities.
- Experience improving support resolution rates and reducing engineering escalations.
- Experience with support and engineering workflow systems such as Pylon, Zendesk, Jira, Linear, or similar tools.
- Experience implementing global, follow-the-sun, or on-call support coverage.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted support, workflow automation, and customer self-service.
- Experience working in a rapidly growing startup or similarly dynamic environment.
