You'll work across customer experience platforms and integrations, with a primary focus on Zendesk administration and technical operations. The ideal candidate is naturally curious, detail-oriented, and willing to dig into an issue, follow the clues, and find the root cause before escalating. Duties:

• Administer, configure, test, and troubleshoot Zendesk workflows, rules, views, fields, and Help Center functionality
• Support AI-powered agents, APIs, integrations, authentication, routing, and data flows
• Investigate production issues and workflow failures, reproducing problems and identifying root causes
• Monitor operational requests and provide hands-on technical support across CX platforms
• Partner with engineering, analytics, business teams, and third-party vendors to resolve issues
• Manage vendor escalations by gathering the right details, documenting findings, and communicating clearly
• Test platform changes and monitor performance after releases
• Maintain clear documentation, project notes, and Jira tickets
• Support additional CX tools across chatbots, surveys, agent-assist, automation, reporting, and AI solutions

Requirements

• Hands-on Zendesk administration experience; Zendesk certification is a plus
• Experience supporting AI-powered agents or customer service automation platforms
• Experience working in an operations/support environment, including incident response and production troubleshooting
• Strong troubleshooting skills across APIs, integrations, configuration, authentication, routing, and third-party systems
• Strong attention to detail and a natural problem-solving mindset
• Strong vendor-management, documentation, and communication skills
• Ability to take an ambiguous business issue and turn it into a clearly defined technical problem and next step
• Ability to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Familiarity with GitHub, coding, or software development workflows is helpful but not required

Why This Role? This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of customer experience, technology, operations, and AI. You'll have the chance to solve real-world problems, improve critical support systems, and collaborate across technical and business teams while working with modern CX technology.
