Who are we?

Workiz is the leading SaaS platform for field service teams, trusted by over 120,000 pros. We help real, hard working people run and grow their businesses, with an end-to-end solution that enables them to schedule jobs, dispatch, invoice, track performance, get paid in the field, plus so much more - all in one place!

We’re on a mission to revolutionize our industry by “automating everything but holding the wrench”, providing our users with smart, AI-powered tools that will replace time consuming tasks, generate more revenue, and provide peace of mind, freeing our users to focus on building their small business into an empire.

Who are you?

We’re looking for a highly skilled Technical Support Team Lead to guide and elevate our highest level of support. In this role, you will lead a team of Technical Support Representatives, ensuring high performance, strong technical execution, and consistent customer outcomes.

You will oversee and drive execution across four critical support domains:

1. Development Escalations
2. Billing / Fintech Support
3. Phone Porting
4. Import / API Support

You’ll be accountable for the overall performance and outcomes of these areas ensuring escalations are handled with urgency and clarity, complex issues are resolved efficiently, and cross-functional collaboration runs smoothly. You’ll also lead by example as a senior technical contributor, mentoring engineers and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to continuously improve support quality and customer experience.

If you’re a strong technical problem solver who can also lead people, processes, and outcomes, this is the role for you.
