Responsibilities

CRM Administration: Administer and configure the CRM platform, including objects and properties, workflows and automation, user permissions, data quality, and standard integrations. Implement business requested changes without requiring outside development support.
Contact Center Administration: Administer the contact center stack across voice, chat, email, and ticketing. Configure routing rules, escalation paths, SLA logic, queues, and business hours. Maintain phone and messaging configuration.
Conversational AI Configuration: Configure, tune, and maintain the AI voice and chat agents that handle customer interactions. Maintain prompts, knowledge sources, and connected actions. Review live sessions, identify where agents are performing poorly, and correct them.
Agentic Automation: Build practical automations using current AI and agent tooling to reduce repetitive operational work such as data preparation, ticket triage, routine reporting, and content generation. Prioritize reliability and maintainability over sophistication.
Integrations and Data Flow: Connect Customer Operations’ platforms to one another and to the organization’s other systems using available APIs, native connectors, and integration tooling. Monitor those connections, and diagnose and resolve failures when data does not flow correctly.
Documentation and Enablement: Document how our team’s systems are configured and how they connect. Train team members on the tools and maintain runbooks so that configuration knowledge does not sit with a single person.
