• Review and analyze recurring issues, complaints, or root causes, and initiate sustainable improvements.

• Ensure accurate and complete documentation in CRM and ticketing systems.

• Collaborate closely with specialist teams (e.g. Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Croatia) to ensure smooth case resolution and clear ownership.

• Provide transparency to internal stakeholders through regular updates, reporting, and structured communication.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Track and analyze key KPIs (e.g. tNPS, NPS, case volumes, resolution times, complaint trends, customer feedback).

• Translate insights into concrete action plans for service, quality, and team performance improvements.

• Actively contribute to projects, system enhancements, or process changes impacting customer support.
