Description
PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
- Be the business owner of our customer service platforms. You’ll configure Zendesk, guide Five9 routing at the business level, use Verint/Monet for scheduling, and coordinate vendors and rollouts (including the Adeo Zencare project).
- Your goal: faster resolutions, happier customers, and smoother agent workflows. No coding or infrastructure work.
Key Responsibilities
Workflow & Platform Configuration (business‑side)
- Configure Zendesk ticket forms, workflows, SLAs, macros, triggers, views and groups.
- Maintain contact reasons/taxonomy and tidy queues for Stores, HQ and Seller Support.
- Adjust Five9 business routing (skills/queues/prompts) and raise technical change requests to IT when needed.
- Use Verint/Monet to support forecasting inputs, schedules and adherence reporting.
Knowledge, QA & Enablement
- Own the knowledge base (content owners, review cadence, search/deflection wins).
- Run QA calibrations with team leads; translate findings into macros, scripts and training.
- Create runbooks and deliver micro‑training for agents and store teams.
Reporting & Insights
- Build and maintain Zendesk Explore dashboards; track SLA, AHT, FCR, CSAT, backlog, deflection and abandonment.
- Produce weekly VOC and root‑cause summaries with recommended actions for Ops, Delivery/Install and E‑commerce.
- Set up alerts for queue health (spikes, SLA breaches, abandoned calls/chats).
Projects & Vendor Coordination
- Support the Adeo Zencare rollout (2025–2026): readiness, UAT, cutover planning and hypercare.
- Coordinate with Digital/IT and partners (delivery & installation providers) to map status updates and hand‑offs.
- Manage iAdvize (live chat) and Blond AI (voice assistant) configurations at the business level, including safe hand‑off rules.
Continuous Improvement
- Identify and ship practical fixes (form simplifications, auto‑responses, routing tweaks, macro improvements).
- Track impact; keep what works, roll back what doesn’t.

- Hands‑on with business‑side Five9 routing/queues and WFM usage (Verint/Monet/Calabrio).
- Proven wins improving SLA/AHT/FCR/CSAT via configuration, training and knowledge—not code.
