• Coordinate with business stakeholders, vendors, and technical teams to diagnose problems, manage dependencies, and restore service.
• Perform root-cause analysis and recommend sustainable corrective actions that reduce recurring issues.
• Manage advanced application configuration, access, integration, and production changes while considering business impact, security, testing, and approval requirements.
• Communicate issue status, risks, decisions, and outcomes clearly to stakeholders and management.

Application Solutions and Automation

• Translate business requirements into practical, reliable, and supportable application or low-code solutions.
• Design, implement, and maintain advanced workflows, forms, and automations using approved platforms.
• Support the effective and responsible use of approved artificial intelligence tools and related business solutions.
• Review solutions developed by Level I analysts and business power users for quality, security, reliability, maintainability, and alignment with standards.
• Determine when a request requires additional development, vendor assistance, or involvement from another technical team.

Projects and Change Leadership

• Lead small and medium-sized application projects, upgrades, migrations, integrations, and process-improvement initiatives from requirements through post-implementation support.
• Define scope, requirements, timelines, dependencies, risks, responsibilities, and success criteria for assigned initiatives.
• Coordinate business stakeholders, vendors, and technical resources to keep work progressing and resolve project obstacles.
• Lead testing, implementation readiness, deployment, and transition-to-support activities.
• Ensure solutions meet business requirements and are properly documented, supported, and adopted.

Mentoring and Continuous Improvement

• Mentor Level I analysts through coaching, knowledge sharing, troubleshooting guidance, and solution reviews.
• Help establish consistent support practices and promote appropriate escalation and change-management processes.
• Identify recurring issues, service gaps, documentation needs, and opportunities to improve applications or business processes.
• Create and review support documentation, training materials, and knowledge resources.
• Monitor support trends and solution outcomes and recommend improvements to service quality, reliability, and user experience.
• Assist the manager with prioritization, workload coordination, and technical recommendations when requested.

Expected Outcomes

The Application Support Analyst II is expected to:

• Resolve complex application issues with clear ownership, sound technical judgment, and effective stakeholder communication.
• Deliver assigned projects and system changes with appropriate planning, testing, risk management, and documentation.
• Develop and review solutions that are reliable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with business needs.
• Reduce recurring incidents by identifying root causes and implementing sustainable improvements.
• Strengthen the capabilities of Level I analysts through consistent mentoring and knowledge sharing.
• Provide stakeholders with timely, accurate information about issues, risks, decisions, and results.

• Experience supporting enterprise systems in areas such as ERP, workforce management, timekeeping, payroll, customer relationship management, facility inspection, work-order management, or financial planning.
• Experience with business platforms such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, HubSpot, Adaptive Planning, or Samsung Knox.
• Experience supporting approved generative AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude.
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365, Active Directory, APIs, secure file transfers, application logs, scripting, or advanced SQL.
