• Review and recommend improvements to knowledge base articles, troubleshooting resources, customer education materials, and internal support documentation.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives designed to improve response times, first-contact resolution, customer satisfaction, and overall departmental performance.
• Collaborate effectively with other Support team members and cross-functional departments to resolve customer concerns.
• Protect confidential company and customer information and comply with all applicable privacy, security, and data-handling requirements.
