You will lead a dedicated support team ensuring that our Tier-1 and Tier-2 Telco and ISP clients receive world-class assistance. This is a high-impact role where you will not only manage people but also take ownership of the health and longevity of our support contracts through clear communication and deep technical understanding of network device management.
Key Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership & Operations

2. Client Relations
- You are the main point of contact for our clients, building long-term relationships with their technical and business teams.
-
You keep an eye on accounts with active support contracts, make sure we deliver on them and point out where proactive maintenance or additional services would help.
3. Technical Product Advocacy (UMP)
- You learn the UMP architecture well, including its role as an ACS (Auto Configuration Server) and USP Controller and how it talks to CPEs over TR-069, TR-369 and SNMP.
- You turn complex technical problems with device provisioning, monitoring or network protocols into a clear business impact for the client.
- You work with Product Management and SRE, bringing them client feature requests and recurring technical bottlenecks.
