Full Job Description
Job Overview
The Manager Advanced Technical Support Business leads a frontline technical organization responsible for delivering advanced, escalation-driven technical support across complex product, solution, and security portfolios. This role operates in a proactive and investigative technical environment, where work is driven by monitoring, triage, and deep troubleshooting rather than inbound volume.

Advanced Technical Support Business Managers lead teams that focus on advanced diagnostics, multi-system dependencies, managed services, and security-related issues, often before customer impact is fully realized. These teams operate with greater depth and complexity, coordinating closely with Tier 2/3 technical teams, Product, and Engineering to resolve high-severity or persistent issues and prevent recurrence.

The Manager is accountable for advanced technical judgment, incident leadership, and cross-functional coordination, ensuring complex issues are resolved thoroughly and sustainably. Success in this role depends on the ability to lead through ambiguity, manage elevated technical risk, and guide teams through complex problem spaces rather than real-time volume.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Own outcomes for advanced technical issue resolution, including high-severity, multi-system, and managed-service incidents.

  • Lead teams responsible for stabilizing service and restoring advanced technical functionality during critical incidents. Make judgment-based trade-offs to mitigate operational, customer, and reputational risk. Partner with technical teams to identify root causes, prevent recurrence, and improve overall service resilience.
  • Directly manage Advanced Technical Specialists and Lead (IC) roles with full authority for hiring, performance management, corrective action, and terminations. Ensure advanced technical readiness through targeted training, skill development, and succession planning. Build and sustain a strong technical bench aligned to evolving platforms, products, and solutions.
  • Establish advanced technical operating standards, escalation guardrails, and prioritization frameworks. Monitor performance metrics and incident trends to identify risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities. Use data-driven insights to inform strategy, resource planning, and continuous improvement efforts.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, IT, Product, and other technical stakeholders to align resolution efforts and priorities. Coordinate cross-team response during complex incidents to ensure clear communication and effective execution. Represent Advanced Tech Support risks, needs, and insights in cross-functional discussions.
