Team Lead Support - Southern Europe

Has it ever happened to you that the customer service was so good, you fell in love ❤️ with the brand and recommended them?
That is exactly what we aim for in our Support team - turning technical excellence into customer love!

We’re looking for a Team Lead to manage our Support teams for France, Iberia and Italy. You’ll be part of our group of six Support Team Leads, working closely together to ensure our international team delivers fast, high-quality support – with a human touch. 

In Support, you’ll dive deep into eCommerce and SaaS, solving real technical challenges every day. You’ll work in a hybrid setup from our HQ in Utrecht, surrounded by curious, driven colleagues – and yes, the Friday drinks at our office bar are a thing 🍻.

Channable is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company with more than 250 colleagues worldwide. We offer a fully integrated way to market your products online. We empower marketeers and online businesses to manage, scale and optimize their marketing. With more than 11 years behind us and big goals ahead, now’s a great time to join the ride!

Your job

The Support department consists of ~50 professionals, incl. 5 Team Leads and the Head of Support. As Team Lead for Southern Europe, you’ll lead a group of 9 Support specialists who help our customers in French, Spanish and Italian – from onboarding to troubleshooting complex technical questions.

Your mission is to ensure our growing customer base gets value out of our products by leading a regional team that delivers high-quality, fast and cost-efficient support. You drive performance, team development and create a learning loop that improves our tool, service and business – so we prevent future tickets, not just resolve them.

You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operations of your team, from coaching and goal-setting to handling escalations and optimizing workflows. At the same time, you’ll play an active role in shaping our support strategy as we scale, working closely with the other Team Leads and departments like Customer Success, Sales, Integrations and Product.

Your challenges

As Team Lead Support - Southern Europe, your focus is clear: delivering a frictionless support experience for our customers while creating an environment where your team can thrive. You do this by:

• Leading the Support Southern Europe team - creating a high-performing and engaged team by hiring, coaching, assessing, growing, offboarding. You facilitate regular 1:1s, team meetings and continuously  improve internal structure and ways of working

• Monitoring, reporting & forecasting - giving your team and leadership a clear view on daily performance, trends and priorities, and ensuring the team’s capacity is aligned with the daily workload. You keep a close eye on essential metrics such as CSAT, ticket SLAs (First Reply Time, Total Resolution Time) and call SLAs (e.g. missed call rate) to ensure we maintain a high standard of support as we scale

• Leading quality reviews (IQS) - you conduct regular quality assessments and calibration sessions to drive learning, consistency and high service standards across your team

• Stepping into critical or complex support cases - whether it’s a technical challenge or a sensitive customer situation. You collaborate with Support agents and other teams to ensure timely and effective resolution. By taking ownership you build credibility and reinforce customer trust - not just by fixing the issue, but by showing we truly understand and care about their business needs

• Staying close to the product - making sure you and your team stay up to date with the tool, new features and customer use cases, so we can provide high-quality, relevant support at all times

• Preventing tickets and being the Voice of the Customer - sharing recurring issues and insights across departments to improve our tool, service and the overall customer journey. You work closely with Product, Engineering, Integrations and Customer Education to increase self-service and scalable support (e.g. Help Center, Channacademy)

• Optimizing customer life cycle and Support processes - always looking for ways to increase efficiency, consistency and customer satisfaction. You contribute to both department and company-wide OKRs, making sure Support plays a key role as we scale.

What success looks like?

• Your team hits core KPIs: >15 queries/day per FTE, <5% missed calls, >90% CSAT, >95% SLA compliance

• IQS consistently above 80%, with actionable feedback loops

• Team engagement is high (eNPS 40+), with clear development plans in place

• Support insights are proactively shared and drive tool & service improvements.

Who are you?

You’re an energetic and inspiring leader with 3 to 5 years of experience managing people. You’re passionate about helping others grow and thrive in their roles. You lead with empathy, communicate clearly and enjoy creating a strong team culture where collaboration comes before individual success.

In a fast-paced, ever-evolving SaaS scale-up like Channable, you thrive on bringing structure and focus. You’re adaptable and open to change – not just accepting it, but using it to drive improvement. You understand that new releases, shifting priorities and evolving customer needs are part of the job, and you help your team stay confident and capable through those changes. You think strategically, but you’re also hands-on and not afraid to roll up your sleeves. You stay cool under pressure, bring clarity in busy moments and know when to escalate or step in to move things forward. 

Because our customers come to us with complex technical questions, you have a natural curiosity and an affinity with technology. You don’t need to code, but you feel confident diving into our product features and understanding how customers use them. You're also used to working in international environments and understand the nuance of leading across cultures and languages.

You understand that great support is about more than solving issues -  it’s about building trust and delivering an experience customers love. You know how to balance customer needs with team well-being and business goals, ensuring we grow sustainably and with heart.

You’re excited about this opportunity if you:

• Have experience in a people management role, ideally in a technical support or SaaS environment

• Knows how to balance customer impacts, team dynamic and strategic goals

• Enjoy working in a scale-up atmosphere with lots of opportunity to shape and improve how things are done

• Are independent, positive and proactive in your approach

• You speak business level of English and; if you speak French, Spanish, or Italian - that’s a nice addition

• Are available for at least 4 days/week (32 hours), and can join us in our Utrecht office at least 2 days/week
