About the Role
We are looking for a Customer Experience Manager – Singapore to own the end-to-end customer experience for OPSWAT customers in the Singapore market.
This role will be responsible for managing the local customer support team while acting as a trusted customer-facing leader throughout the customer lifecycle—from onboarding and deployment to adoption, expansion, and ongoing technical engagement.

The role operates in a matrix organization: you will lead local customer engagement and outcomes while working through global Support, Professional Services, Product, Engineering, and Sales teams to align priorities, mobilize the right expertise, and deliver a consistent customer experience. Success requires influence without relying solely on direct reporting lines, strong ownership, and the ability to stay hands-on with complex technical issues.
