We are looking for a Global Technical Success & Escalation Manager to serve as Jabra's internal owner of business-critical escalations across our most strategic global enterprise accounts. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role that sits at the center of Sales, Product Management, Technical Support, and R&D — the connective tissue that ensures complex customer issues get the right people, the right urgency, and the right resolution. 

When a major account issue is escalated by Sales, you take the wheel. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of that escalation: triaging the problem, mobilizing the right internal stakeholders across Product and R&D, driving accountability to resolution, and communicating clearly with both the customer and Jabra leadership throughout. You are equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive with an engineer and an executive status call with a CIO. 

This role is being built within Jabra's growing Enterprise Services organization. While escalation management is the primary focus today, this position is intentionally designed to evolve — as the services function matures, you will increasingly take on a Technical Account Manager role, proactively owning the technical relationship and strategic health of your accounts. Candidates who are excited about building something, not just running a playbook, will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities:

Escalation Ownership & Management 

  • Own all business-critical and high-severity escalations across Jabra's global major accounts end-to-end — from intake through resolution, root cause analysis, and post-mortem. 
  • Serve as the single internal point of accountability when Sales escalates a customer issue: triage the problem, define severity and SLA, and immediately mobilize the right cross-functional resources. 
  • Navigate complex internal stakeholder environments — aligning Sales, Product Management, Technical Support, and R&D around a shared resolution plan with clear ownership and timelines. 
  • Establish and maintain structured escalation processes including communication cadences, status reporting, and executive updates throughout the lifecycle of each issue. 
  • Produce clear, executive-facing incident summaries and root cause analyses (RCAs) for major incidents; present findings to both internal leadership and customer stakeholders. 
  • Identify recurring escalation patterns across accounts and proactively surface systemic product or process issues to Product Management and R&D to drive long-term resolution. 
  • Maintain a living escalation log and dashboard that provides leadership with real-time visibility into open issues, risk levels, and resolution timelines. 

Cross-Functional Stakeholder Navigation 

  • Act as the bridge between Sales and the technical organization — translating customer impact into internal urgency, and technical status into language customers and executives can act on. 
  • Build trusted working relationships with Product Management and R&D so that escalations move quickly and roadmap feedback from major accounts reaches the right decision-makers. 
  • Partner with Sales leadership to ensure escalation intake is consistent, well-documented, and triaged appropriately before it reaches the technical organization. 
  • Represent the voice of the customer in internal forums, ensuring that recurring enterprise pain points influence product direction and are not lost in the noise of day-to-day support. 
  • Contribute to escalation playbooks, resolution templates, and internal knowledge resources to improve how the broader organization handles future incidents. 

Required Qualifications 

  • 7–10+ years of experience in technical escalation management, enterprise technical support, or technical account management within a B2B technology environment. 
  • Demonstrated track record of owning and resolving business-critical escalations for Fortune 500 or global enterprise clients — including cross-functional stakeholder coordination under pressure. 
  • Proven ability to navigate between Sales, Product Management, Technical Support, and Engineering organizations to drive issues to resolution without losing the customer relationship along the way. 
  • Strong technical knowledge in at least one of the following: enterprise headset and audio/video endpoint hardware, professional video conferencing devices, or enterprise device management and fleet operations — with enough hands-on depth to credibly diagnose issues and engage with R&D. 
  • Broad ecosystem awareness across the audio, video, and UCC landscape — understanding how devices, software, UC platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco WebEx), and endpoint management tooling interact in enterprise environments. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills: equally effective in a technical troubleshooting session with an engineer and a priority escalation call with a CIO. 
  • Experience producing executive-facing RCAs, incident communications, and escalation status reports. 
  • Self-directed and highly organized — capable of managing multiple concurrent escalations and account relationships without losing attention to detail or urgency. 
  • Comfortable working in an evolving, build-it-as-you-go environment; someone who can operate without a fully defined playbook and contribute to building one. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with Jabra products across the headset, speakerphone, and video device portfolio — including familiarity with Jabra management software (Jabra Plus, Jabra Xpress, Jabra Direct). 
  • Experience with contact center audio technology, professional AV, or enterprise peripheral ecosystems. 
  • ITIL certification or demonstrated knowledge of ITIL service management frameworks. 
  • Experience working in a globally distributed team across multiple time zones. 
  • Proficiency in CRM and ticketing platforms (Salesforce, Dynamics ServiceNow, ADO, Jira, Aha, or equivalent). 
  • Understanding of enterprise network best practices and experience working with enterprise IT organizations  
  • Work with iconic global enterprise brands on genuinely complex, high-stakes technical challenges. 
  • Be part of a close-knit global team that values technical depth, customer empathy, and accountability. 
  • Competitive compensation package including base salary, performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits. 
  • Flexible remote-first work model with a culture that trusts you to own your outcomes. 
  • A clearly defined growth path from escalation management into Technical Account Management as Jabra's Enterprise Services capability scales — you will help shape what that function becomes. 

We believe that your personality is an important factor leading to success in the role 

There is a lot of stakeholder management in this role, and we expect you to collaborate naturally with others to create results. You thrive in an environment with a strong entrepreneurial spirit which requires that you are self-driven and can effortlessly create structure in your work and projects. You naturally take accountability for projects, and we expect that you are analytical and data driven.
