• High technical aptitude — ability to quickly learn new software, technologies, and skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively to resolve client issues without detailed supervision in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Exceptional critical thinking and excellent multi-tasking skills
• Dependable and proficient attention to detail
• Resourceful and able to take ownership of and follow through on client issues until resolution is achieved
• Ability to effectively communicate and coordinate with peers and Senior Management when required

Preferred

• Familiarity with LTC pharmacy workflows or healthcare technology environments
• Experience with API integrations and Microsoft Windows server environments
• Prior experience in a SaaS or B2B software support role

• Resourcefulness and ownership mentality — you follow issues through to resolution without needing detailed supervision
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment both independently and collaboratively
• Strong interpersonal skills that build trust with customers and teammates alike
