– Tooling Optimization: Manage and improve workflows across Zendesk, Jira, Slack, and Gainsight. Identify automation opportunities and enhance the agent experience. Build dashboards to display real-time KPIs for both internal and external teams.

– Support Efficiency & SLA Adherence: Optimize support processes and routing logic to meet a <48-hour resolution target. Focus on scalable solutions that eliminate friction without compromising quality.

– Reporting & Cross-Functional Feedback Loops: Develop structured reporting and feedback systems to identify root causes and trends. Turn support data into actionable insights for Product, Engineering, and Success teams to enhance the customer experience.

– Documentation & Enablement: Oversee internal knowledge management by maintaining SOPs, QA checklists, onboarding materials, and enablement resources for L1 and L2 agents to ensure consistent, high-quality support.
