The Opportunity
As a key member of the OpenText Mission Control Center (MCC), the Lead Customer Advocate plays a pivotal role in resolving our most critical customer escalations. This role requires a unique blend of problem-solving, cross-functional coordination, executive communication, and customer relationship management.
You will serve as the central coordinator—aligning internal teams, managing complex communication streams, and working directly with customers to define priorities and agree on success criteria. Your ability to lead through pressure, drive resolution, and represent the customer's voice across technical and executive audiences will be essential to protecting customer trust and delivering business outcomes.
What The Role Offers
* Working closely with customers to prioritize issues, align expectations, and gain agreement on success criteria for resolution
* Advocating for the customer by ensuring their voice, priorities, and expectations are represented in every step of the resolution process
* Serving as the primary escalation point for high-severity incidents, working directly with customer executives and internal leaders to coordinate rapid resolution
* Establishing rapport and credibility with both technical and executive stakeholders, internally and externally
* Communicating clearly and confidently under pressure, providing timely updates and actionable insights across audiences
* Navigating complex customer environments and internal structures to identify resolution paths and drive alignment
* Setting and managing expectations with empathy and authority, even in high-stress or escalated environments
* Contributing to a collaborative team culture that emphasizes shared accountability and customer success
What You Need To Succeed
* Minimum of 3-5 years of experience with enterprise-level customers in a technical support or escalation management role
* Demonstrated ability to manage high-pressure, high-stakes customer situations with professionalism, focus, and resilience
* Strong conflict resolution skills and the ability to de-escalate challenging scenarios
* Exceptional organizational and time management skills to manage multiple concurrent escalations
* Outstanding verbal and written communication skills tailored for both technical and executive audiences
* Strong analytical thinking and proactive problem-solving abilities
* Proven ability to lead complex customer issue resolution with minimal guidance
* Strong interpersonal skills and executive presence
* Skilled in influencing cross-functional teams and driving decisions in high-pressure environments
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills
* Familiarity with OpenText products and services is an asset
* Project Management (PMP) or ITIL certifications is a plus
