About the Role
The Lead, Support Enablement plays a proactive role in technical engagement for high-priority managed accounts. As a customer advocate and a key link between Technical Support and managed accounts, the SEL provides visibility into complex issues, coordinates cross-functional efforts, manages risk, and helps drive effective outcomes and customer satisfaction. The SEL does not take over technical support cases or perform technical investigations; instead, the role facilitates collaboration, monitors case progression, and keeps actions and communications aligned with customer priorities.
Key Responsibilities
-
Strategic Case Management and Oversight: Coordinate case progression across internal stakeholders; monitor open cases for SLA risks, customer dissatisfaction, stalled progress, and recurring trends; guide Support Supervisors, Agents, and Engineers to align investigations with customer priorities; maintain visibility of owners, action plans, blockers, and next steps.
-
Proactive Issue Mitigation: Identify recurring patterns and systemic issues across managed accounts; partner with Support and technical teams to explore root causes and recommend longer-term improvements; conduct account health checks and track emerging risks.
-
Escalation Management and Customer Advocacy: Coordinate critical escalations and develop clear, fact-based narratives; serve as liaison during sensitive or executive escalations; provide structured customer updates and set realistic expectations; relay customer pain points to internal teams.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Support Supervisors, TAC, Product, Engineering, CSMs, TAMs, and other stakeholders; facilitate internal coordination, including Slack communication for managed domains, and clarify ownership and follow-through.
-
Account Enablement, Documentation, and Reporting: Lead account discovery to understand customer context, technology usage, integrations, and key contacts; maintain documentation in Salesforce, Monday.com, CSI, and Looker as applicable; define engagement intensity (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green); track escalation resolution efficiency, proactive case reduction, and SLA compliance; prepare timely account and case reports.
Qualifications and Requirements
-
At least 4 years of experience in Technical Support, Customer Enablement, Escalation Management, Customer Success, Technical Account Management, Service Delivery, or a related customer-facing role.

Experience managing escalations and coordinating case lifecycles in a SaaS, cloud communications, contact center technology, or comparable enterprise technology environment.

Strong organization and ability to manage multiple accounts, complex issues, and competing priorities.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication, including senior-stakeholder engagement and explaining technical issues to varied audiences.
-
Demonstrated cross-functional coordination, clear action planning, and follow-through.
-
Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills, including identifying technical trends and support gaps.
-
High attention to detail, sound judgment, ownership, and experience with case management, CRM, collaboration, and reporting tools.
-
Preferred: Familiarity with Five9 components (voice, digital channels, APIs, CRM connectors); working knowledge of Salesforce, Monday.com, Slack, Looker, and Jira; knowledge of SLAs, incident management, prioritization, and support metrics; enterprise customer experience; ITIL Foundation or relevant certifications.

About this role
Five9's Support Enablement Lead role sits at the intersection of technical support and customer success, serving as the primary coordinator for high-priority managed accounts. You'll act as a bridge between Technical Support teams and customers, managing case escalations, identifying systemic issues, and ensuring complex problems maintain momentum through consistent follow-up and cross-functional alignment. Rather than solving technical issues yourself, you'll orchestrate internal coordination, maintain visibility into case progression and SLA risks, and advocate for customers during sensitive situations—all while keeping stakeholders aligned on priorities and next steps.
The position demands at least four years in technical support, customer enablement, escalation management, or a related SaaS customer-facing role. You'll need strong organizational skills to juggle multiple accounts and competing priorities, excellent communication for both technical and executive audiences, and the analytical capability to spot recurring patterns and support gaps. Comfort with case management tools, CRMs, and collaboration platforms is essential; familiarity with Salesforce, Monday.com, Slack, and Looker is preferred, as is background in contact center or cloud communications technology.
Success here means managed accounts have clear visibility into their cases, escalations resolve efficiently, and potential problems surface before they escalate further. The Manila-based hybrid role requires in-office presence two days weekly if you're within 20 kilometers of the office; otherwise it's fully remote. Five9 offers standard benefits including HMO coverage, stock, paid leave with cash conversion, and internet and meal allowances during remote work.
