With your insights into engineering, operations and management, you will work with the VP Global Support to identify and deliver initiatives.

Our company mission is to make open source easy, starting with Ubuntu but extending to the huge array of things that people want to do with open source, from the largest clouds and data centers to the smallest connected devices.

Our support organisation is the first line and escalation path for our customers across all core products and solutions that Canonical offers.

We are growing the team as we grow the business, both in terms of the number of people and in terms of the range of technologies and skills we are able to bring to bear on customer problems.

As open source expands to cover every possible range of industries and use cases, we will build our team to be the best partner for any enterprise that builds on the open software platform.

We take customer satisfaction seriously, and this role has been created in part to ensure we maintain that focus as we scale.

Our culture is that of continuous learning and growth.
