Inspera is a global B2B SaaS organisation providing digital assessment technology to education institutions, awarding bodies and enterprise customers.
As we continue to evolve our customer support function, we are looking for an experienced Head of Customer Support to lead and improve our B2B support operations across two core operating countries.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who can define what excellent customer support looks like in a B2B SaaS environment, build a scalable multi-tier support model, and use data, coaching and process improvement to raise standards across the team.
The Role
As Head of Customer Support, you will be responsible for leading support operations across multiple locations, ensuring customers receive a consistent, high-quality service.
You will design and improve support processes, introduce clear performance metrics, manage SLAs, and develop the team from a reactive ticket-handling function into a proactive, customer-focused support operation.
This role would suit someone who has led customer support, service desk, helpdesk or service delivery teams in a B2B SaaS, software, IT or technology environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop the customer support function across two operating countries.
- Define what excellent B2B customer service looks like for Inspera and embed this across the team.
- Design, implement and improve a multi-tier support model, such as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 support.
- Establish clear KPIs and performance metrics, including response times, resolution times, SLA achievement, escalation rates and customer satisfaction.
- Use ticketing data and operational insight to identify bottlenecks, improve workflows and drive continuous improvement.
- Optimise support tools such as Zendesk, Jira Service Management, Freshdesk, Salesforce Service Cloud or similar.
- Coach, mentor and develop regional support leads and support agents.
- Manage team performance, workload, resource planning and cross-country coverage.
- Act as an escalation point for high-value B2B customers and critical service incidents.
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, Revenue and Operations teams to improve customer outcomes.
