Washington, District of Columbia, United States

As a Technical Escalations Manager, you will be the key escalation point for complex technical issues, ensuring seamless resolution for high-priority customer tickets. You will act as a bridge between frontline support, customer success, and product teams, advocating for customer needs while driving continuous improvements in support efficiency and product functionality. Your technical expertise, analytical mindset, and customer-centric approach will contribute to optimizing support processes and enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

This is an individual contributor role that requires hands-on troubleshooting, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a strategic approach to problem-solving within the eDiscovery and SaaS space. This role will require a post-offer criminal background check and agency suitability clearance, as you may work with clients in the public sector or other regulated environments.

  • We’re excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away! We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1.

Customer Advocacy & Success Alignment

  • Act as a trusted technical advisor for key accounts, ensuring escalated issues do not hinder adoption or retention

  • Work closely with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) to proactively mitigate risks for high-touch accounts

  • Engage with public sector clients to provide tailored technical guidance, particularly for regulated industries where compliance, security, and service continuity are critical

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the unique requirements, constraints, and expectations of public sector organizations

  • Identify opportunities for proactive customer engagement to reduce future escalations and enhance satisfaction

Product & Process Improvement

  • Partner with Support leadership and Product teams to provide insights on customer pain points and advocate for feature enhancements

  • Contribute to the refinement of support processes, automation, and self-service documentation to enhance operational efficiency

  • Monitor and analyze customer support KPIs (e.g., resolution time, escalation trends, CSAT) to drive continuous improvement

  • Collaborate with Product and User Education teams to develop knowledge base articles, training materials, and internal documentation

What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience in Technical Support, Escalation Management, or Incident Response within a SaaS or eDiscovery environment

  • Strong troubleshooting skills with a track record of diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues

  • Experience handling escalations and working cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success teams

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
