This requires a passion for customer service, deep technical expertise, and people management experience. We need someone who can get hands-on with technical support tickets and escalations and partner with teams like Engineering, Product, and Revenue to deeply understand Enterprise customer technical needs and turn that into a plan for the future.

  • Help the team identify single points of failure and future risks, and proactively mitigate them; design and implement scalable solutions to support Asana’s fast growth
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, knowledge bases and other support resources
  • In time, recruit for and grow a tech support team

About you

  • 8+ years of technical support experience with 5+ years of people management and leadership experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent work experience)
