What the job involves
- As a Senior Technical Support & Enablement Engineer (UK/EMEA), you will serve as a frontline technical partner for both schools and VAR partners across the region
- This role is primarily focused on technical support and case ownership, while also supporting deployments and improving how partners implement and support Securly solutions over time
- You will work directly with schools and VAR partners to troubleshoot issues, support implementations, and ensure successful product adoption. In addition to resolving technical issues, you will identify recurring challenges and contribute to improving partner capability and reducing ongoing support demand
- This role has a strong VAR-facing component. You will support reseller technical teams during deployment and ongoing service delivery, while also resolving technical issues directly for schools
- You will own cases end-to-end — from initial intake through final resolution or escalation — managing each ticket with the accountability and structure of a project
- This role will balance a mix of reactive support work and hands-on deployment support, with opportunities to contribute to partner enablement and continuous improvement over time

- Respond to support queries from schools and VAR partners via phone, email, chat, and web submissions
- Diagnose and resolve product, configuration, device, and networking issues
- Own cases from open to close, ensuring consistent communication and follow-through
- Log and document all incidents clearly and accurately within internal systems
- Escalate complex issues with complete, decision-ready diagnostic detail
- Support and assist with deployments of Securly solutions for schools and VAR partners
- Help configure and validate implementations to ensure successful product adoption
- Work directly with schools and/or VARs during onboarding and rollout phases
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to deployments and initial configurations
- Identify common deployment challenges and contribute to improving deployment practices
- Provide technical guidance to VAR partners during deployment and post-implementation
- Support reseller technical contacts with configuration, troubleshooting, and best practice advice
- Identify recurring partner challenges and close knowledge gaps through documentation and guidance
- Contribute to FAQs, knowledge base articles, and enablement resources to improve partner self-sufficiency
- Over time, help reduce partner dependency on Securly support by strengthening VAR capability
- Support environments involving:
- Active Directory and Group Policy
- Windows Server estates
- Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing)
- Switch and router configuration
- Firewall configuration and troubleshooting
- ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS, and macOS administration
- Liaise with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer teams to resolve complex issues
- Collaborate with Sales Engineering to support successful post-sales implementation and alignment between solution design and real-world deployment
- Identify patterns across customer and reseller cases
- Contribute to process improvements that strengthen reliability, deployment quality, and support efficiency
- What Success Looks Like:
- First 60 Days:
- Build familiarity with Securly’s UK/EMEA products and deployment models

- Support deployments alongside team members and VAR partners
- Resolve routine issues independently
