• Issue Reporting & Root Cause Analysis: Investigate, document, and report hardware failures and system bugs to facilitate rapid resolution and support long-term system health.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Operations Supervisors, Technical Operations, Product, HQA, and Engineering teams to coordinate issue resolution and platform enhancements.

• SOP & Knowledge Base Ownership: Develop and maintain up-to-date operational documentation, troubleshooting guides, standard operating procedures, and internal knowledge base content.

• Continuous Process Improvement: Identify operational bottlenecks, track recurring technical trends, and recommend long-term workflow and platform enhancements.

• Tech Rollout & Integration: Support the testing, rollout, and team adoption of new operational tools, tracking technologies, software updates, and system enhancements.

• Peer Leadership & Subject Matter Support: Act as a technical subject matter expert providing guidance to Operators and Supervisors, while supporting fellow Coordinators during high-volume periods or major incidents.
