The Technical Support Operations Lead is responsible for the operational excellence of Welo Data's community-facing and internal support functions. Working at the intersection of people management, technology, and process design, this role owns two complementary service functions: community support for our global rater workforce, and tier 2 internal support for Welo Data teams.
Through best-in-class utilization of technology, including AI-powered automation, ticketing infrastructure, and data-driven workflows, the Technical Support Operations Lead sets and upholds a high standard of support quality across both channels. This role builds the systems, not just the teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop two distinct support teams: a Community Support team serving Welo Data's global rater community (onboarding, help desk, communications, user management), and a Tier 2 Internal Support team resolving escalated technical and operational issues from within Welo Data
- Design, build, and maintain customer service automations, including AI-assisted workflows, self-service tooling, and intelligent routing, to reduce manual overhead and improve resolution speed and quality
- Establish and continuously improve standard operating procedures across both support functions, ensuring consistency, measurability, and scalability
- Define KPIs for both teams; own reporting cadences and use data to identify gaps, set priorities, and demonstrate improvement
- Partner with stakeholders across Community Experience, Operations, Platform, and Technology teams to align support processes with broader business needs
- Act as an escalation point for complex, ambiguous, or cross-functional support issues
- Drive adoption of platforms and tooling (e.g. Zendesk, WeloWorks, Microsoft 365) across both teams, ensuring teams are getting maximum operational value
- Support ad hoc operational requests from across the Welo Data organization.
Qualifications & Skills:
- 5+ years of experience in technical support, customer service operations, or a closely related field, with demonstrated progression into management
- Experience managing multiple teams or functions simultaneously, including across time zones
- Proven track record building or significantly improving support automation, including chatbot workflows, ticketing rules, AI-assisted triage, or self-service systems
- Highly analytical; skilled at defining metrics, building dashboards, and using data to drive operational decisions
- Strong technical fluency, comfortable working with support platforms, APIs, workflow automation tools, and internal tooling; no expectation of engineering skills, but must be able to evaluate and configure technical solutions independently
- Excellent stakeholder management skills; able to influence peers and senior leaders on process adoption
- Experience supporting a global, distributed workforce or contractor/freelancer community is a strong advantage
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Based in India; experience working with international teams required.
