If there are any issues, you’ll troubleshoot in collaboration with teams across the organization, including Digital Messaging and Business Insights. Success in this role relies on a proactive approach to identify inconsistencies and inefficiencies, troubleshoot errors, and ensure all systems run smoothly.
Documentation and enablement:
you will work closely with researchers and stakeholders to enable access to customer data. This includes creating and updating comprehensive documentation such as how-to guides and tutorials, and building dashboards in our voice of customer software. You’ll gather feedback from stakeholders and researchers to improve comprehension, relevance and efficiency. You will oversee user access across platforms, ensuring seamless availability for teams while maintaining security protocols. As the primary point of contact for all platform-related queries, you will play a pivotal role in resolving issues quickly and effectively, and ensuring documentation exists to cover all stakeholder needs and questions.
Vendor relationship management:
as part of your responsibilities, you will serve as the liaison between the team and voice of customer software vendors. You’ll meet with vendor representatives regularly to bring questions from the team and maintain detailed records of contracts, budgets, and platform usage.
