Senior Supervisor, Global Customer Support Services

About the role

WD is building the infrastructure behind the AI-driven data economy. As AI scales, so does data. Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time. That’s where we come in. We combine deep engineering expertise with global-scale manufacturing to deliver the storage systems that make AI possible, powering hyperscale data centers, cloud platforms, and enterprise infrastructure worldwide. This role focuses on executing global contact center initiatives that improve operational efficiency, service delivery, workforce coordination, telecom readiness, reporting visibility, and consistency across supported regions, languages, channels, and support partners.

The Senior Supervisor partners with the project management team, which owns the overall project framework, timelines, and governance. This role supports execution from the GCSS operations perspective by validating contact center impacts, coordinating operational readiness, tracking support-side deliverables, escalating risks, and helping ensure changes can be implemented effectively by frontline and regional support teams.

Responsibilities

• Execute GCSS operational workstreams for assigned initiatives that impact contact center operations, staffing readiness, telecom, channel support, reporting, quality alignment, escalations, tools, workflows, or service delivery.
• Partner with the project management team to support milestone execution, issue tracking, risk identification, action follow-up, operational readiness, and implementation support.
• Validate contact center impacts for proposed changes, including phone, chat, email, social, self-service, escalation workflows, agent workflows, routing, queues, staffing coverage, reporting, and service level performance.
• Coordinate with regional support teams and support partners to confirm operational readiness, gather frontline feedback, identify practical implementation risks, and support adoption of approved changes.
• Support global center coordination across multiple regions and languages by helping align operational processes, launch timing, staffing considerations, reporting expectations, and support execution requirements.
• Work with telecom, IT, operations, and vendor teams on contact center related activities such as phone routing, IVR readiness, queue setup, channel coverage, call flow changes, system access, and incident follow-up.
• Review operational data and reporting to identify trends, service risks, backlog concerns, staffing gaps, queue performance issues, and opportunities to improve efficiency.
• Support workforce-related coordination by reviewing volume patterns, staffing coverage, schedule adherence considerations, capacity impacts, and regional coverage needs with the appropriate operations or vendor teams.
• Help improve operational efficiency by identifying process friction, unnecessary handoffs, repeat contacts, rework, reporting gaps, and execution barriers affecting the global contact center environment.
• Coordinate operational testing, UAT participation, launch readiness checks, training readiness confirmation, communication support, and post-launch issue follow-up for initiatives affecting contact center operations.
• Partner with Customer Experience and Knowledge Management teams when initiatives require their input, while keeping primary focus on operational execution, readiness, and contact center efficiency.
• Prepare concise operational updates for leadership and stakeholders, including status, risks, open actions, support impacts, data insights, and recommended next steps.
• Ensure operational changes consider customer data handling, privacy, compliance, regional requirements, support policies, and documented procedures.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred.
• 6+ years of experience in customer support, contact center operations, global support coordination, workforce support, telecom support, process improvement, operational execution, or related customer service leadership roles.
• Strong understanding of contact center operations, including voice, chat, email, social, self-service, escalations, queues, routing, service levels, backlog, quality, staffing, reporting, and support policies.
• Experience supporting or supervising contact center operations across multiple regions, vendors, languages, or support channels.
• Working knowledge of telecom and contact center concepts such as IVR, call routing, queue configuration, channel coverage, service level performance, average speed of answer, abandonment rate, and call flow changes.
• General understanding of workforce management concepts such as forecasting, scheduling, intraday adjustments, occupancy, shrinkage, adherence, staffing coverage, and capacity planning.
• Ability to use operational data, dashboards, and reporting to identify trends, summarize findings, validate impacts, and recommend practical improvements.
• Experience contributing to operational readiness, UAT, process rollout, regional coordination, tool changes, system access, and post-launch issue follow-up.
• Strong communication and follow-through skills with the ability to coordinate across project managers, regional teams, support partners, IT, telecom, workforce, reporting, quality, and leadership.
• Working knowledge of CRM, contact center, reporting, ticketing, and collaboration platforms such as Oracle Service Cloud, Genesys, JIRA, ServiceNow, Power BI, Smartsheet, SharePoint, Microsoft Office, or similar tools.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in consumer electronics, technology support, warranty support, product support, or global customer service operations.
• Experience supporting multi-region or multilingual contact center operations.
• Experience coordinating operational workstreams within larger projects managed by a formal project management team.
• Experience with telecom changes, queue management, routing updates, channel transition planning, operational dashboards, or contact center reporting.
• Experience working with BPO or support partners in an operations, readiness, reporting, workforce, telecom, or implementation support capacity.
• Experience reviewing metrics such as SLA, ASA, abandonment rate, AHT, FCR, CSAT, backlog aging, contact volume, productivity, adherence, and forecast or staffing variance.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled support tools such as agent assist, chatbots, translation tools, quality automation, speech/text analytics, auto-summarization, or reporting automation.

Key Success Measures

• Operational readiness actions are completed before launch.
