About The Position

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday. Smartsheet is seeking a Sr. Technical Support Operations Manager to focus on the operational architecture required to balance efficiency with a high-quality customer experience. You will be responsible for the tools and logic that dictate how we staff our teams, how we measure quality, and how we route technical issues. Your goal is to move the support organization toward a predictive, data-driven model that integrates technical signals into the broader customer retention strategy.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in Technical Support Operations, Revenue Operations, or Business Operations in a SaaS environment.

Operational Discipline: A track record of formalizing messy processes into documented, repeatable workflows that scale globally.

Responsibilities

Lead Strategic Roadmap Planning: Partner with the Technical Support senior leadership team to drive the development of quarterly roadmaps and prioritization planning for the technical support organization.
Optimize Support Delivery Process: Own the technical lifecycle of the global support stack, including oversight of Workforce Management and Quality Assurance tools. You will lead the design of scoring rubrics and staffing logic to maintain service level targets across global time zones.
Drive Demand and Capacity Planning: Build the support capacity models used for long-term headcount planning. You will use historical volume data and growth projections to predict future support demand and determine the optimal staffing requirements to meet business needs.
Manage Routing and Tiering Logic: Manage the technical rules, definitions, and workflows that dictate how cases are segmented and routed. You will ensure that technical issues reach the correct internal tiers immediately to minimize resolution time and customer effort.
Operationalize Support-to-Success Handoffs: Design and manage the workflows that pass account risks, expansion opportunities or training gaps identified in support tickets to the appropriate Sales or Customer Success teams. You will ensure these handoffs are automated and trackable.
Automate Premium Entitlements: Manage the technical integration of appointment scheduling systems for premium offerings. You will define the logic that verifies a customer’s entitlement in Salesforce before allowing access to specialized support sessions.
