About the Role

The Sant Cugat Regional Customer Support Center is seeking an experienced, collaborative leader with a strong customer focus to join our Regional Customer Support team.

As a Line Manager, you will lead and empower a team of highly skilled remote specialists providing support across Spain and Portugal customers and to the EMEA-LATAM region. Your mission is to move beyond case resolution to provide proactive support and data-driven insights to improve decision making to attract and retain our customers. You will be a catalyst for a culture of high performance and digital transformation.

In this role, you will be responsible for achieving outstanding team performance and maximizing customer satisfaction, driving remote resolution, overseeing employee and customer training and facilitating local and regional knowledge sharing and escalation support.  
You will do this by analyzing results, challenging how support is currently provided, and rapidly incorporating innovations, new digital tools and AI-driven solutions to continuously improve our service. A core priority will be the development of your team members, mentoring them to excel in their current roles while preparing them for the future challenges.

With your experience in Diagnostics or Healthcare, you will put the customer -and ultimately the patient- at the heart of everything we do. 

You'll report directly to the Head of the Sant Cugat Regional Customer Support Center and join a team passionate about creating an environment where empowered individuals can flourish and fulfil their potential.
