Job description

Head of Platform Service Operation | AI Platform - (AI-Driven Service Desk)

We’re looking for a Service Delivery Director / Head of Platform Service Operation to build and run a modern, AI‑driven service desk for a fast‑scaling product platform.

This is not a traditional service delivery/support role. You will act as the lead developer and owner of AI agents on the platform , responsible for designing, building, and continuously improving agents that support customers and internal teams.

At the same time, you will own the service desk layer of the product platform , ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and ready to support enterprise customers.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Act as the lead builder of AI agents across the platform
  • Design, develop, and deploy agents for:
  • Customer support and triage
  • Knowledge retrieval and response generation
  • Continuously improve agent performance, accuracy, and coverage
  • Work closely with product and engineering to embed agents into the platform

Own the Agent Layer of the Product Platform

  • Take ownership of the AI service desk layer within the product
  • Ensure agents are fully integrated into workflows, monitoring, and support systems
  • Treat agents as a core product capability, not just a support tool
  • Define how AI agents evolve as the platform scales

Build an AI-Powered Service Desk

  • Design a support model that is AI‑first by default
  • Automate ticket classification, triage, and responses
  • Reduce manual support workload through intelligent automation
  • Ensure knowledge is structured and accessible to both humans and agents

Own Live Service Operations

  • Ensure platform reliability, monitoring, and observability
  • Set up dashboards, alerts, and service health reporting
  • Track uptime, latency, and customer impact
  • Act as Incident Commander for major incidents
  • Coordinate engineering, security, and delivery teams
  • Lead post‑incident reviews and drive improvements
  • Ensure all releases are operationally ready before going live
  • Require proper monitoring, runbooks, and support ownership
  • Prevent releases that create avoidable risk

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience building or running support/service operations in SaaS, platform, or AI environments
  • Hands‑on experience building AI agents, workflows, or automation tools
  • Ability to operate across engineering and operations.
  • Experience owning or contributing to a product platform
  • Familiarity with observability, monitoring, and reliability practices

Why This Role Is Different

  • You are not just running support, this is an individual contributor role where you are building the agents that deliver it
  • You will own a core layer of the product platform, not just a function
  • AI is central, not experimental, this is agent‑led support at scale
  • You will define how support evolves as the company grows

Success Looks Like

  • AI agents handling a significant share of support interactions
  • A scalable service delivery desk that doesn’t grow linearly with customers
  • High platform uptime and fast incident resolution
  • Clean, reliable go‑lives with full operational readiness
  • Continuous improvement of agent capability and performance
