Customer Support Team Lead

ABOUT US

Gladstone Software is the leading supplier of leisure management software in the UK and Ireland, helping the leisure industry make the population fitter and healthier. With our innovative technology solutions, we support operators in delivering exceptional customer experiences across fitness, wellness and leisure services.

Our Customer Support function plays a central role in achieving this mission. As we evolve our support operating model to meet the demands of SaaS delivery, automation and customer expectations, we are building high-performing teams driven by ownership, delivery and continuous improvement.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

As a Customer Support Team Leader, you’ll manage a blended team of Support Agents and lead the day-to-day operations of your team — focusing on SLA adherence, ownership, customer communication and continuous improvement.

This is a delivery-focused leadership role requiring strong people management, operational discipline and a data-driven mindset. You’ll support your team in resolving a wide range of cases — from quick queries to more complex escalations — and ensure every case is progressed, even when it leaves the core Support queue (e.g. R&D, Sales, Infrastructure).

You’ll play a key role in embedding outcome ownership, surfacing data-driven insights, exploring AI and automation opportunities and driving support excellence across your team. You will be an internal champion for the customer at all times.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lead a cross-functional team of Support Agents managing a blend of simple and complex customer tickets

2. Own team performance against SLA compliance, backlog health, comms cadence and CSAT

3. Ensure ticket ownership continues even when cases are escalated or sit in other queues — driving updates, chasing responses and maintaining customer confidence

4. Oversee daily triage and case flow to ensure structured assignment and queue management

5. Coach, mentor and support your team — including onboarding, performance management and development planning

6. Use Salesforce views, reports and dashboards to manage performance, analyse trends and spot opportunities for continuous improvement

7. Champion high-quality data — ensuring tickets are correctly categorised, notes are accurate and outcomes are measurable

8. Collaborate with Product, Customer Success, R&D and Professional Services to resolve blockers and coordinate customer outcomes

9. Support AI and automation initiatives — including creating or improving knowledge base content, macros and deflection tools

10. Own key accounts or VIP customers from a support delivery perspective, ensuring service quality, comms cadence and proactive ticket management

11. Contribute to team meetings, backlog reviews and cross-functional case reviews

12. Encourage innovation and experimentation — staying open to new tools, workflows, and support strategies.

Key Skills & Experience:

13. Team leadership or senior agent experience in a software/SaaS support environment

14. Strong operational understanding of case triage, SLA adherence and customer communications

15. Experience using support platforms like Salesforce (or equivalent)

16. Strong reporting and analytical skills — confident using ticket data to manage team performance and support decision-making

17. Passion for customer experience, team coaching and cross-functional collaboration

18. Technical literacy desirable (e.g. SQL, IIS, Azure awareness).

Personal Attributes:

19. Data-driven, outcome-oriented and highly organised

20. Proactive, persistent and confident following up across teams

21. Curious and open-minded — willing to experiment with AI, automation and smarter working methods

22. Excellent communicator — able to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders

23. Calm under pressure and able to juggle multiple demands

24. Customer-first mindset and a natural team builder.
