Position Overview

The Director, Support Delivery is a senior technical leader responsible for escalation and triage excellence, and for building the next generation of expert technical support specialists at DrFirst. This is not a role about running day-to-day support operations — it is a role about technical depth. The Director owns how the hardest cases are diagnosed, how escalations are reasoned through, and how that expertise is transferred to the people who deliver support every day. 

Reporting to the VP, Customer Operations, the Director works embedded within the Product organization, serving as the technical bridge between support and engineering. The core measure of success is twofold: the rigor and speed with which complex issues are triaged and escalated, and the demonstrable growth in technical capability of the specialists the Director develops. 

We are looking for a diagnostician and a teacher — someone who approaches a difficult case the way a physician approaches a differential diagnosis, working from symptoms to the full range of possible causes before landing on resolution, and who can teach that same reasoning to others. This is a deeply technical leadership role: the mandate is the craft of complex resolution and the development of technical talent, not the day-to-day management of support operations. 

The role includes an immersive ramp — time embedded with our Product organization and hands-on with our support practice — designed to build the product fluency and floor credibility this Director leads from before taking on the senior technical specialists they will develop. 

What you will work on

Escalation & Triage Leadership 

  • Own the technical triage and escalation discipline for the support organization — how complex cases are diagnosed, reasoned through, and routed to resolution 
  • Build and maintain the escalation framework: triage criteria, handling standards, resolution ownership, and clear definition of what constitutes a product escalation versus a support execution issue 
  • Serve as the senior technical decision-maker on the most complex and highest-impact escalations across partner and enterprise accounts 
  • Ensure escalation decisions are made at the right level and that difficult cases reach senior technical intervention when they should 

Building Technical Experts 

  • Develop a bench of expert technical support specialists — the primary measure of success in this role 
  • Teach diagnostic and triage reasoning as a transferable skill, not just resolve cases personally 
  • Define and raise the technical competency standard across the specialist capability ladder 
  • Directly lead and mentor the organization’s most senior technical support specialists 

Product Partnership 

  • Work embedded within the Product organization as the primary technical interface between support and engineering 
  • Build a systematic feedback loop between support escalation trends and the product roadmap — ensuring support signal informs prioritization rather than reactive bug reporting 
  • Track escalation patterns by product, workflow, and customer segment to identify recurring failure points and advocate for resolution at the product level 

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in technical support, with significant depth in complex technical troubleshooting and escalation handling in a SaaS or healthcare technology environment 
  • Demonstrated diagnostic and triage capability — a structured, hypothesis-driven approach to isolating the cause of complex technical issues 
  • Proven track record of developing technical talent and raising the capability of a team through direct mentorship and defined competency standards 
  • Experience designing or owning escalation frameworks — building the structure through which escalations are handled, not just managing them 
  • Direct experience partnering with Product or Engineering teams on escalation feedback loops and product-informed resolution 
  • Comfort operating in a technical, hands-on capacity and a willingness to complete a hands-on product and onboarding ramp before leading the team 
  • Experience in an AI-enabled support environment a plus 
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in a technical, business, or related field a plus 

 

If you are a technical diagnostician who loves solving the hardest problems and takes genuine satisfaction in making the people around you better — we want to hear from you. This is a high-impact role with direct visibility to executive leadership and meaningful influence over how DrFirst serves its customers every day. 

Physical Requirements

  • 90% Desk, phone, and virtual meeting work.
  • 10% Travel to client sites, conferences, or internal team meetings.
