Job summary

Maxana is seeking a hands‑on Zendesk Administrator for a high‑volume support operation running on Zendesk. You’ll own the instance end to end, keeping it fast, clean, and smart so agents can help customers rather than fight the tools.

This remote role requires 3+ years administering Zendesk, including Explore, Guide, Talk, and Chat. You’ll build automation, manage integrations, and run dashboards while partnering with CX leadership to improve routing and self‑service.

Qualifications

• 3+ years administering Zendesk at meaningful ticket volume.

Responsibilities

• Own the Zendesk instance — manage users, roles, groups, brands, and views; keep the configuration clean as the team scales.
• Build the automation layer — design and maintain triggers, automations, macros, and SLA policies that route tickets to the right people at the right time.
• Connect the stack — manage integrations with Zendesk tools (telephony, messaging, e-commerce/billing systems, internal apps) and troubleshoot data flow.
• Run the numbers — build and maintain Explore dashboards on volume, response times, CSAT, and agent performance.
• Improve workflows — partner with CX leadership to spot friction, test changes, and roll out improvements to routing, forms, help center content, and self‑service flows.
• Support the team — onboard new agents, document processes, and act as the go‑to Zendesk resource.
• Automation fluency — build non‑trivial trigger/automation logic and prevent spaghetti.
• Integration experience — comfortable with Zendesk apps and API/webhook familiarity.
• Data instincts — explain what Explore dashboards show to leadership.
• AI-forward mindset — experience with Zendesk AI features or appetite to deploy them.
• Strong written and spoken English — you’ll work with a US‑based CX and leadership team.
• US timezone overlap — availability during US business hours.
