About this team and role: Mozilla’s Customer Experience team helps users, organizations, and partners successfully adopt, use, and get sustained value from Mozilla products. Historically, much of Mozilla’s support work has focused on consumers. As Mozilla expands its business and organizational offerings, we are building a support operation designed for the needs of B2B customers, including dependable service delivery, clear customer commitments, global coverage, and close coordination with Product and Engineering. As Staff Technical Support Manager you will be Mozilla’s first dedicated B2B technical support leader. You will not inherit a mature operation; you will create one. You will define how Mozilla provides technical support to Enterprise customers, from frontline troubleshooting through complex Product and Engineering escalation, while building the processes, tooling, training, metrics, and operating model needed to deliver that support effectively at scale. Beyond creating the technical support capability, you will serve as the main bridge between Enterprise customers, CX, Product, and Engineering, ensuring insights from customers and support teams inform the broader Enterprise experience. This is an individual contributor role with broad end-to-end ownership. You will be the day-to-day owner of Mozilla’s B2B support workflow and the operational processes connecting customer issues with technical support provided by vendors as well as Mozilla Product and Engineering teams. You will use customer demand, service performance, and cost data to determine when and how the operation should expand across geographies, languages, coverage models, and support offerings. As the business grows, you will also help define the structure and capabilities of Mozilla’s future B2B support team. You will participate in a defined incident coverage model and periodically lead the operational response to major customer incidents. In those moments, you will ensure support personnel follow established procedures, coordinate escalation and handoffs to Mozilla engineers, drive cross-functional resolution, communicate clearly with customers and internal leaders, and oversee post-incident reviews and root cause analysis. This position requires a rare combination of Enterprise technical support expertise, support operations discipline, vendor management, cross-functional influence, and calm leadership under pressure. Our ideal candidate is a practical builder who can move between strategy and execution, create structure where none exists, and earn the trust of customers, engineers, senior leaders, and external partners. What you’ll do: Build and launch Mozilla’s first B2B technical support capability, including its operating model, workflows, escalation paths, governance, and continuous-improvement processes. Own external support vendor relationships end to end, including future vendor selection and contracting support, onboarding, workforce planning, performance management, invoicing, renewals, and investment recommendations. Elevate the technical capability of frontline Enterprise support by defining troubleshooting standards, technical training, support playbooks, quality frameworks, diagnostic guidance, escalation criteria, and reusable knowledge materials, and coordination with product teams for release-readiness plans. Forecast customer demand and support capacity, balancing staffing, coverage, language needs, service quality, cost, and business growth; recommend when to expand into new geographies or service models. Define service objectives, metrics, KPIs, dashboards, and operating reviews for quality, speed, customer experience, productivity, and cost. Hold vendors accountable for performance, identify service gaps, and lead corrective-action and continuous-improvement plans. Own Mozilla’s Enterprise technical escalation and operational framework, managing handoffs across support tiers so complex issues reach the right Engineering, Product, Security, or business partners with sufficient context and urgency, while maintaining continuity through resolution and ensuring technical guidance and outcomes flow back to customers and frontline support teams. Lead the operational response to major B2B incidents, coordinating vendor execution, engineering engagement, customer and leadership communications, resolution, and post-incident review. Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, Legal, Finance, Procurement, and other teams to align customer commitments with operational capacity and improve the support experience. Participate in customer-facing meetings as a trusted technical support partner, helping Enterprise customers navigate technical and operational challenges, guiding troubleshooting and escalations, gathering feedback, and maintaining customer confidence throughout the support and resolution process. Translate support trends and customer feedback into actionable insights, partnering cross-functionally to improve customer journeys, products, documentation, processes, tooling, automation, and responsible uses of AI, while helping define the future structure of Mozilla’s B2B support organization. What you’ll bring: 5+ years of experience in B2B or Enterprise technical support, support operations, escalation management, support engineering, or a related field including experience working directly with Enterprise customers or IT administrators through complex technical issues. Demonstrated experience building a new support capability or substantially scaling or transforming an existing support operation. Experience managing outsourced support vendors or BPO partners, including training, workforce planning, quality assurance, performance governance, and corrective action. Experience with vendor selection, statements of work, contracts, budgets, forecasts, invoices, renewals, or related procurement and commercial processes. Experience with support platforms such as Zendesk/CRMs and issue-tracking systems such as Jira, including reporting, workflow design, and operational analytics. Strong knowledge of Enterprise support and service-management practices, including working across support tiers, managing complex Product/Engineering escalations, improving escalation quality and troubleshooting practices, and driving issues through resolution. Experience leading high-severity technical incidents and coordinating customers, support teams, engineers, executives, and other stakeholders under pressure. Experience defining operational metrics and using dashboards, reporting, and workforce planning to improve quality, customer outcomes, efficiency, and cost.
