Assistant Manager - Software Support

Open 19d

Job Title: Assistant Manager – Software Support
Department: Software Support
Location: Gurgaon
Experience: 4–6 years in project management, with strong client handling and team management exposure

About the Role

We're looking for an Assistant Manager in our Software Support practice to own the day-to-day operational engine of our software support function. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thinks like a project manager — someone who brings structure, ownership, and momentum to every client request that comes through the door.

You'll be the person ensuring nothing falls through the cracks: tickets get closed, SLAs are met, and every commitment we make to a client is tracked and delivered. You'll represent BCI to our customers on a day-to-day basis, making this a role built on trust, accountability, and follow-through.

This position sits at the intersection of operations, client relationship management, and team leadership — ideal for someone who enjoys owning outcomes end-to-end rather than just executing tasks.


What You'll Do

Own Support Operations Like a Project
  • Manage the full lifecycle of client support tickets and requests — assigning ownership, tracking timelines, and driving every request to closure.
  • Monitor and safeguard SLA commitments across all active clients, proactively identifying and resolving risks before they become breaches.


Lead Client Governance & Relationships
  • Plan and coordinate regular client governance calls, ensuring the right stakeholders, agendas, and follow-ups are in place.
  • Build strong day-to-day relationships with internal and client stakeholders, acting as a dependable point of contact for operational matters.
  • Stay closely aligned with each client's service plan and requirements, ensuring delivery matches what's been committed.


Manage and Grow a Team
  • Mentor a team handling client support request, balancing workloads and driving performance.
  • Build a culture of accountability and ownership within the team.


Handle Escalations with Judgment
  • Independently manage day-to-day issues, escalating critical matters at the right time and with the right context to your manager.
Drive Continuous Improvement
  • Identify patterns in recurring issues and proactively suggest process improvements.
  • Build and maintain reporting/dashboards that give visibility into ticket health, SLA performance, and team output.


What We're Looking For
  • 4–6 years of experience in project management, operations, or client-facing delivery roles.
  • A natural knack for problem-solving and a genuine focus on customer experience.
  • Demonstrated experience managing a team.
  • Strong client-handling skills — confident, professional, and solutions-oriented under pressure.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong planning and prioritization abilities — comfortable managing multiple threads at once.
  • A proactive, ownership-driven mindset.
