• Collaborate effectively across all specialist resolver groups, working with Product & Platform,  Security, Enablement, Solution Consultants and Customer Success to coordinate complex  investigations, remediation, customer-specific issues and technical escalations.

• Ability to pass DBS, NPPV3 & SC Vetting 
• Practical experience working within an ITIL-aligned support environment. 
• Five or more years’ experience in software support, SaaS support, infrastructure support or  a comparable technical support role.
