Position Overview:
The Vice President, Customer Support owns Enseo’s customer support function across all channels and tiers, the proactive monitoring of deployed customer environments, and the executive-level account escalation function.

The VP leads a global, multi-site organization spanning the United States and the Philippines, responsible for keeping deployed hospitality technology running at thousands of properties, and is measured on customer satisfaction, response and resolution speed, proactive issue detection, escalation discipline, and the operational efficiency of the support footprint.
