• Support technical planning for software strategies, platform upgrades, and migrations set by leadership.

Work directly with end‑users and operational leaders to resolve issues related to daily operations, call routing, and system workflows. Partner with physicians, operational leaders, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and implement system solutions, including AI Virtual Agent use cases, in line with the strategy set by leadership. Help stakeholders understand workflow implications of implemented solutions and surface enhancement opportunities to leadership. Serve as a technical point of contact with Five9 and Cisco account teams during implementation and support engagements, in coordination with leadership. Foster a collaborative working relationship across IT and operational partners during builds, testing, and rollout.

Risk Management, Documentation & Governance (20%)

Identify, analyze, and elevate technical risks and issues encountered during implementation of critical initiatives, including AI/voice platform changes.

Apply the architecture standards, guidelines, and best practices defined by leadership for voice and AI Virtual Agent solutions. Create and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, release notes, test plans, and training materials, based on direction from leadership.
