Job Description:
Primary Responsibilities
Support & Troubleshooting
- Respond to incoming customer inquiries across all available channels, managing a work queue to ensure compliance with Service Level Agreement timeframes.
- Establish proficiency in the Northpointe Suite and underlying database management systems to troubleshoot and resolve customer application software issues.
- Accurately assess the priority and severity of customer issues based on predefined criteria, customer problem descriptions, and industry experience; utilize established escalation paths for issues of routine scope and complexity.
- Provide practical workarounds to customers when immediate software modifications are not available.
Documentation & Case Management
- Log all and any ongoing actions with thorough, specific detail — capturing sufficient context so that any team member can understand the full history of an issue without follow-up, and building the support knowledge base over time.
- Monitor open tickets twice daily to ensure timely progress; keep ticket status current and maintain proactive customer communication throughout.
- Maintain quality test records to capture testing evidence carried out prior to software releases.
Communication & Relationships
- Communicate proactively with customers and internal stakeholders — including status updates using pre-defined criteria.
- Build strong relationships with 3rd parties and external providers to ensure timely data flow.
- Provide updates to the Customer Care Manager as needed; collaborate with customers and internal teams — including Quality Assurance and Deployment — to coordinate the resolution and deployment of fixes for application defects.
- Use technology effectively to collaborate and maintain strong remote working relationships (Teams, SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, etc.). Camera use is expected on all customer calls and team meetings.
Process & Continuous Improvement
- Follow documented procedures for processing complex data, reporting problems, and required changes.
- Assist with creating, organizing, and maintaining the equivant Documentation Library.
- Understand team metrics and SLA standards; make suggestions to improve data quality and processes.
Basic Qualifications
- Communication: Consistent, proactive, and detailed — internally and externally. Does not wait to be asked for updates. Written and verbal communication is clear, organized, and stands alone without follow-up clarification.
- Curiosity and Self-Direction: Approaches unfamiliar problems with initiative. Independently researches issues, asks thoughtful questions, and pursues skill growth without requiring direction to do so.
- Ability to recognize trends in escalated issues.
- Ability to manage multiple complex tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment.
- Zendesk experience preferred; or equivalent ticketing system experience.
- Basic SQL knowledge preferred, or willingness to learn.
