IT Customer Support Team Lead Belfast | Hybrid & Flexible Working
£40,000 Base Salary | Total Reward Package circa £52,000
We're working with an innovative Belfast software business entering an exciting new phase of growth. As their customer base expands and new AI-powered products come to market, they're investing in their Customer Care function by creating an additional Team Lead position.
Rather than managing a larger team, you'll have the opportunity to lead a focused group of around five specialists, giving you the time to coach, develop, and genuinely influence performance.
The Opportunity
This is much more than a traditional support leadership role. You'll take ownership of one product area, ensuring customers receive a consistently excellent experience while partnering with another Team Lead to deliver a seamless service across the wider business.
You'll be trusted to improve processes, drive operational efficiency, and help shape how Customer Care evolves over the coming years.
The business is also embracing AI across its operations, so you'll have the chance to influence how automation and AI tools enhance both customer experience and team productivity.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading, coaching, and developing a high-performing team of Customer Care Advisors
- Driving service performance through SLA achievement, ticket management, and customer satisfaction
- Creating a positive, supportive culture where people can develop and perform at their best
- Managing escalated customer issues and major incidents with confidence and composure
- Working closely with engineering teams to prioritize and progress complex technical issues
- Identifying smarter ways of working through continuous improvement initiatives
- Using reporting and customer insight to make informed decisions and improve service outcomes
- Playing a key role in adopting AI-driven solutions that improve efficiency and customer experience
- Collaborating with the wider leadership team to help shape the future direction of Customer Care
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with leaders who genuinely enjoy developing people while delivering outstanding customer experiences. You'll likely bring:
- Previous experience leading or supervising a customer support or service desk team
- A background in busy helpdesk, technical support, or customer operations environments
- Experience managing service performance against KPIs, SLAs, and customer satisfaction measures
- Strong coaching and people development skills
- Confidence handling high-priority incidents and customer escalations
- A calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure
- The ability to identify improvements rather than simply maintain existing processes
- Excellent communication skills with the confidence to engage across technical and non-technical teams
Experience within fintech or another regulated technology environment would be highly advantageous, although candidates from other fast-paced software businesses will also be considered. Exposure to AI tools, automation, or process improvement initiatives would be a real bonus.

- Offering genuine flexibility around hybrid working, with office time encouraged during onboarding before moving to a pattern that suits both you and the team
