The Senior Manager, Development Support defines the frameworks, standards, and operating model that govern how customer-reported technical issues move from escalation through to resolution. It is the primary operational and strategic bridge across internal teams and stakeholders, ensuring issues are resolved with speed, clarity, and customer confidence.
- Build, own, and continuously evolve the end-to-end development support process for issues escalated from Customer Care into Development, ensuring clear handoffs, accountability, and visibility at every stage.
- Define and own the SLA framework for development support - setting standards that internal teams are held accountable to, and tracking adherence using data to improve responsiveness and resolution effectiveness over time.
- Own the triage and escalation framework - ensuring the team has the process, tools, and decision authority to move every issue through to resolution or clearly communicated next steps.
- Establish the operating model for development support - defining workflows, cadences, escalation paths, and reporting standards that scale with the organization.
- Manage relationships with stakeholders across internal teams - aligning on priorities, escalations, and resolution expectations.
- Establish and own proactive system monitoring and health reporting - including error rate tracking, performance instrumentation, uptime reporting, and clear standards for how system status is communicated internally and externally.
- Establish communication standards for technical issue updates - defining what good looks like for internal and customer-facing messaging, and coaching the team to execute consistently.
- Lead customer-facing communication on escalated technical issues, either directly or in partnership with internal teams, maintaining customer confidence throughout.
- Analyze support trends and recurring issues to surface systemic gaps - translating findings into actionable recommendations for Product and Development roadmaps.
- Build and maintain executive-facing reporting on support metrics, SLA performance, and improvement opportunities - presenting insights to stakeholders across the business.
- Build and lead a high-performing support team - developing team members to meet growing organizational needs.
- Coach and support team members through regular 1:1s, clear goal-setting, and ongoing performance conversations.
- 7+ years of experience in technical support, development operations, technical program management, or a similar cross-functional role in a SaaS environment.
- 2+ years of people leadership experience, including hiring, developing, and managing a team.
- Demonstrated ability to build a function or team from the ground up — establishing process, structure, and standards in an environment where they didn’t previously exist.
- Skilled at influencing without direct authority — able to drive accountability and alignment across internal teams.
- Strong project management fundamentals: setting ownership, managing workflows, coordinating follow-ups, and driving work to completion across multiple stakeholders.
- Strong data and metrics fluency — able to design reporting frameworks, interpret support data, and present performance insights to executive and cross-functional audiences.
- Proven ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences alike, including translating technical context into clear, professional messaging.
- Able to navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and time-sensitive escalations with a calm, action-oriented approach.
- Hands-on experience with ticketing and workflow systems (Jira or equivalent) and a strong grasp of how to instrument and report on operational metrics.

We believe AI should help people do their best work, not replace the human judgment, creativity, and connection that make us who we are. AI is a tool we use to learn fast, elevate our craft, and focus on the work that truly creates impact. That shows up in our hiring process too.
We use AI-assisted tools to create a smoother, more organized, and ultimately more human candidate experience. These tools allow our team to spend more time on real conversations and thoughtful decision-making, the things that matter.
What AI doesn’t do at Axonify is make hiring decisions. Every decision is made by real people, using real judgment and grounded in our values.
Here’s what that means for you as a candidate:
- Feel free to use AI to support your thinking - not replace it. We use AI to learn and level up, and you can too.
- Be open about how you use AI if asked. Transparency helps us understand your process and how you approach problem-solving.
- Stay authentic. We’re hiring people, not prompts, your ideas, your experiences, and your voice are what matter.
We believe our team’s unique experiences, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and abilities add richness to our culture and depth to our ideas. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates an environment that supports, empowers, and delivers a sense of belonging for all team members.
