What Were All About :

Q2 is proud of delivering our mobile banking platform and technology solutions, globally, to more than 22 million end users across our 1,300 financial institutions and fintech clients. At Q2, our mission is simple : Build strong, diverse communities by strengthening their financial institutions. We accomplish that by investing in the communities where both our customers and employees serve and live.

What Makes Q2 Special?

Being as passionate about our people as we are about our mission. We celebrate our employees in many ways, including our Circle of Awesomeness award ceremony and day of employee celebration among others! We invest in the growth and development of our team members through ongoing learning opportunities, mentorship programs, internal mobility, and meaningful leadership relationships. We also know that nothing builds trust and collaboration like having fun. We hold an annual Dodgeball for Charity event at our Q2 Stadium in Austin, inviting other local companies to play, and community organizations we support to raise money and awareness together.

The Job At-A-Glance :

We are seeking a Senior, systems-oriented Director of Support to lead and scale Q2s global Customer Support organization as part of our future-state Support operating model. This role exists to transform how support operates from reactive and hero-driven to predictable, experience-driven, AI-augmented, and pod-based.

This is not a legacy support leadership role. The successful candidate will run and evolve the system, coach leaders, and enforce disciplined operating standards rather than personally solving escalations or cases. You will oversee a large, globally distributed organization delivering configuration-driven, technically complex support in a highly regulated environment, while partnering closely with Engineering, SRE, DevOps, and Product.

This role exists to execute and scale Q2s modern Support operating model. Success is measured by improved predictability, reduced variation, stronger customer experience outcomes (XLA), and a support organization that runs consistently through well-defined systems and disciplined execution

A Typical Day :

Strategic & Systems Leadership

  • Partner with the SVP of Support to define, execute, and evolve the global Support vision and operating model.
  • Design and mature pod-based (POD) support structures, operating rhythms, and governance.
  • Diagnose operational challenges as system failures first, not individual performance issues.
  • Clearly articulate what good looks like and enforce consistent standards across regions and teams.
  • Drive long-term strategies focused on predictability, experience outcomes (XLA), and scalability.

Operational Excellence & Discipline

  • Lead global support operations across India, Mexico, and the U.S. with 24 / 7 readiness.
  • Enforce SOPs, QA standards, escalation hygiene, and rigorous case lifecycle management.
  • Use data and metrics to reduce case variation, noise, and rework.
  • Run predictable operating rhythms and reject inconsistency masked as team autonomy.
  • Drive KPIs across SLA, XLA, customer sentiment, efficiency, and cost-to-serve.
  • AI-Enabled & Technical Oversight

  • Champion and enforce adoption of AI-assisted workflows, automation, and advanced tooling.
  • Ensure AI usage exceeds 95% across squads and becomes embedded in daily workflows.
  • Oversee complex technical support involving cloud-native, containerized deployments, configuration changes, and redeployments.
  • Partner with Engineering, SRE, DevOps, and IOC to improve diagnostics, logging, routing, and root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Ensure support processes integrate cleanly with CI / CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Operate effectively in a highly regulated environment with strong security and compliance hygiene.
  • Leadership That Scales

  • Lead and coach Support Managers, Pod Managers, and Squad Leaders.
  • Build leadership bench strength and ensure managers operate independently.
  • Hold leaders accountable with clarity, fairness, and consistency.
  • Delegate effectively and measure success by how little day-to-day intervention is required.
  • Create a calm, high-performance culture grounded in trust, discipline, and clear expectations.
  • Experience-Driven Mindset

  • Focus beyond SLAs to customer effort, confidence, outcomes, and sentiment.
  • Use experience signals (XLA, VOC, sentiment analysis) to guide priorities and investment.
  • Improve customer outcomes without increasing cost or organizational stress.
  • Change Leadership & Resilience

  • Lead through ambiguity, resistance, and transformation with empathy and decisiveness.
  • Name resistance directly and navigate difficult conversations without defensiveness.
  • Balance human-centered leadership with the rigor required for sustained change.
  • Bring Your Passion, Do What You Love. Heres What Were Looking For :

  • Typically requires a Bachelors degree in (relevant degree) and a minimum of 12 years of related experience; or an advanced degree with 8+ years of experience; or equivalent relevant work experience. Typically requires 5-7 years managing and developing employees.
  • 10+ years of experience in technical support leadership, including leading large, globally distributed teams.
  • Proven success modernizing and scaling support organizations through operating model change.
  • Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to design workflows, governance, and operating rhythms.
  • Demonstrated experience operationalizing AI, automation, or advanced tooling in a support environment.
  • Deep technical fluency in cloud-native architectures (e.g., containerization, orchestration) and build / release processes.
  • Experience leading teams responsible for configuration changes and redeployments.
  • Data-driven leader with a track record of reducing variation and improving predictability.
  • Exceptional communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Preferred Skills

  • ITIL, Six Sigma, or Lean certifications.
  • Experience with Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Grafana, Splunk, or similar tools.
  • Background in financial technology, enterprise software, or IaaS environments.
  • Prior technical background in SRE, DevOps, or engineering roles.
  • Experience operating in pod-based or squad-based support models.
  • Bilingual (English / Spanish or English / Hindi) a plus.
  • Director or Senior Director-level experience.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

    Health & Wellness
