- Act as a strong customer advocate by capturing, contextualizing, and prioritizing customer feedback and feature requests, and representing these effectively to Product and Engineering teams.
- Build and maintain customer trust during escalations by clearly articulating root cause, resolution approach, and preventative actions.
Advanced Support Operations & Deployment Readiness
- Own and participate in on‑call rotations and standby schedules, providing senior‑level support coverage during customer business hours where required.

- Lead or oversee complex document and template updates, ensuring quality, consistency, and adherence to platform standards.

- Raise technical and service quality standards across the team through example and collaboration.
- Support continuous improvement of troubleshooting approaches, playbooks, and documentation.
