- Maintain deep product knowledge and contribute to internal documentation, playbooks, and support content.
- Support onboarding and ramping of new hires through shadowing, feedback, and knowledge sharing.
- Review tickets, internal requests, and QA outputs, providing clear, actionable coaching.
- Mentor Specialists through regular feedback, informal 1:1s, and shared learning moments.
- Model excellent judgment, prioritization, and customer communication in high-pressure situations.
- Lead 3–5 small projects or experiments per quarter focused on improving efficiency, quality, or customer experience.
- Propose and implement workflow, tooling, or documentation improvements.
- Build lightweight systems (macros, checklists, templates, SOPs) that scale best practices across the team.
- Help codify tribal knowledge into repeatable processes.
- Own and monitor team-level signals such as CSAT, first response time, queue health, and quality benchmarks.
