We’re connecting fans with amazing experiences while empowering event organisers and artists with real-time insights and tools. If you’re excited about reshaping the future of live events then you’re in the right place.
Role Mission:
As our Global Customer Support Manager, you’ll be a key player in creating an unforgettable experience for our fans. Let's be real—when someone buys a ticket to a live event, the last thing they want is to reach out to support... That’s why we’re all about building a fan support system that addresses every bit of feedback with speed, empathy, and efficiency.
Reporting to our Director of Customer Experience, you’ll lead a high-impact global team and work side by side with leaders across product, engineering, partnerships, and marketing. This role isn’t just about keeping things moving; it’s about evolving our fan support strategy to scale with our growth, handle seasonality, and meet the ever-changing needs of our fans.
If you're a strategic thinker and a passionate people leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and has a slight obsession with improving processes to make every customer interaction seamless, we want you on the team.
The Gig:

Empower your team with recognition, growth opportunities, and a focus on proactive, empathetic support, driving excellence in every fan interaction.

Clearly structure and present these findings with compelling, actionable narratives that resonate across teams, driving alignment and stakeholder buy-in.
- Resource & Workforce Management: Forecast and manage resources efficiently, scaling support operations to meet seasonal demand without compromising quality.
- Deflection Tool Development: Innovate and implement deflection tools—FAQs, chatbots, and self-service portals—that allow fans to resolve issues independently, all while ensuring that these tools add to, not take away from, the fan journey.
- Tech-Driven Optimisation: Leverage AI and Zendesk expertise to automate and optimise support operations, driving faster response times and improved resolution accuracy.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams across Product, Marketplace Experience, and Marketing to drive initiatives that enhance fan experience and improve overall process efficiency.

- Master Resource Manager: Skilled at managing and deploying resources effectively, particularly in a seasonal business where agility is key. You’re adept at workforce planning and scheduling to meet fluctuating demand.
- Insight-Driven Innovator: You’re not just about maintaining; you're about improving. You leverage data to inform decisions, and you’re constantly identifying ways to enhance processes and innovate within the team.
- Customer-Obsessed with a Deflection Mindset: You understand the importance of empowering customers to resolve issues independently and build tools that are as user-friendly as they are effective.
- Strategic Communicator, Inside and Out: With strong interpersonal skills, you’re comfortable leading a team and communicating effectively across departments. You also understand how to balance empathy and confidence in customer communications.
