4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Customer Retention Rate (CRR)
The percentage of customers who continue to do business with us over a given period, heavily influenced by their support experience.
Target · Increase CRR by 5% year-over-year (YoY) across all segments.

If our CRR was 90% last year, we'd aim for 94.5% this year, directly linking support quality to customer loyalty.

Global Support P&L
Managing the full profit and loss statement for the entire global support organisation, including headcount, tools, and operational costs versus value delivered.
Target · Reduce Cost Per Resolution by 10% YoY while maintaining or improving CSAT.

Bringing down the average cost of resolving a customer issue from £25 to £22.50, without sacrificing customer satisfaction scores.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) / Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)
Overall customer sentiment and willingness to recommend us, measured across all support channels and interactions.
Target · Achieve a global NPS of +50 and CSAT of 90% consistently.

Maintaining an NPS score of +55 in EMEA and +48 in APAC, showing consistent positive customer sentiment worldwide.

Ticket Deflection Rate
The percentage of customer issues resolved through self-service (e.g., knowledge base, community forums) without needing to contact an agent.
Target · Increase global deflection rate by 15% YoY.

If 40% of issues were self-served last year, we'd push that to 46% this year by improving our self-help content and AI tools.

  • your input is sought on major strategic initiatives

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building a World-Class Customer Experience

You'll spend your days thinking about how to make every customer interaction seamless and positive, from self-service to complex technical resolutions. This means reviewing global CSAT trends, identifying areas for improvement, and championing customer-centric initiatives across the organisation.

Leading the charge to implement a new AI-powered self-service portal that significantly reduces customer effort and ticket volume, directly improving their overall experience.

Driving Business Impact at Scale

You're driven by the knowledge that your decisions directly impact customer retention, revenue, and brand value. This shows up in your focus on optimising global support costs, increasing efficiency, and ensuring support contributes to upsell and cross-sell opportunities.

Presenting to the board on how a 1% increase in customer retention, driven by support initiatives, translates to an additional £2M in annual recurring revenue.

Developing Global Talent & Leadership

You get a real buzz from mentoring your direct reports, building strong leadership teams across regions, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth within your global organisation. You'll spend time on succession planning and identifying high-potential individuals.

Seeing a regional director you mentored get promoted to a global role, or celebrating a team's success in a challenging market.

What frustrates people
  • Getting buy-in for significant investment in support technology or headcount when other departments are also vying for budget.
  • Navigating complex international regulations and cultural differences that complicate global standardisation efforts.
  • Dealing with legacy systems or technical debt from other departments that constantly create support challenges.
  • The sheer scale of managing a global, diverse workforce with varying skill sets and regional challenges.
  • Having to deliver difficult news to the executive team about customer churn or major incident impacts.
What this role does not give you
  • Daily direct customer interaction (you're too high up for that, mostly).
  • A quiet, predictable work schedule; expect urgent global issues at all hours.
  • The ability to avoid high-stakes political negotiations and difficult conversations.
  • A role where you can simply 'maintain' the status quo; you're here to transform.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts customer retention, brand reputation, and overall company profitability. You're responsible for ensuring our global support operations are efficient, effective, and consistently deliver a world-class experience. Your decisions will influence product roadmaps, market expansion strategies, and how we're perceived in the industry. Frankly, if our customers aren't happy, it's on you.

  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team
  • Heads of Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing
  • Regional General Managers
  • Finance Director
Outside the business
  • Key Enterprise Clients and Strategic Partners
  • Industry Analysts and Thought Leaders
  • Regulatory Bodies (where applicable)
  • Major Vendors and Technology Partners

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Minimum 10 years of senior leadership experience (Director level or above) managing large-scale, global customer support or service operations.
  • Demonstrable track record of owning and managing a multi-million pound P&L for a significant business unit or function.
  • Proven experience in designing and executing enterprise-wide customer experience strategies that have delivered measurable business impact (e.g., increased retention, reduced costs).
  • Extensive experience leading and developing diverse, distributed teams of 100+ individuals, including other leaders.
  • Deep strategic understanding and practical experience with major customer service technologies (e.g., CRM, AI, self-service platforms) at an architectural level.
  • Exceptional executive presence, communication, and presentation skills, with a proven ability to influence at the Board and C-suite level.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI Ethics & Governance in CX

As AI becomes embedded in every aspect of customer interaction (chatbots, sentiment analysis, proactive outreach), the ethical implications around privacy, bias, and transparency become paramount. Customers and regulators will demand clear guidelines and accountability.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how VP of Global Support is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As VP of Global Support, you're not just managing operations; you're charting the course for how we serve customers worldwide. AI isn't just a buzzword here; it's a strategic lever to transform our entire support ecosystem. We're talking about optimising global workforce planning, predicting customer churn, and delivering hyper-personalised experiences at scale. This isn't about saving a few hours; it's about saving millions and fundamentally changing how we interact with our customers.

Imagine a world where your global teams are always optimally staffed, where you can predict customer issues before they even happen, and where every customer interaction feels bespoke. That's the power AI brings to this role. You'll be the one championing these transformations, ensuring our support organisation is future-proof and a true competitive advantage. Frankly, if you're not thinking about AI, you're already behind.

Strategic Workforce Optimisation

AI models will predict global ticket volumes and customer contact patterns with unprecedented accuracy, allowing you to optimise staffing levels across continents, reduce overtime, and ensure 24/7 coverage without waste. This means millions in savings and happier, less burnt-out teams.

Predictive Customer Churn & Intervention

Use AI to analyse customer behaviour, product usage, and past support interactions to identify high-risk accounts *before* they churn. You'll then deploy targeted, proactive support interventions, turning potential losses into loyal advocates. This is about preventing problems, not just reacting to them.

Executive AI Communication & Reporting

Forget spending hours crafting board reports. AI will summarise global performance data, highlight key trends, and even draft executive-level narratives for your presentations. You'll spend less time on data aggregation and more time on strategic interpretation and decision-making. Imagine the time savings.

Global CX Innovation & Personalisation

Lead the charge on using AI for hyper-personalisation. This means AI-driven self-service journeys, intelligent routing that connects customers to the *perfect* agent, and proactive support tailored to individual customer needs and product usage. It's about making every customer feel like our only customer.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP of Global Support, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 2 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a VP of Global Support: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

If you leave this industry

Your experience as a VP of Global Support is highly transferable across various industries, especially within the technology, SaaS, FinTech, and e-commerce sectors.
