• Translate highly technical and complex concepts into clear, simple, business-friendly language for non-technical auto dealership clients and internal Account Managers.
• Develop and deliver clear, professional client communications, including incident status updates, resolution summaries, and technical explanations of how our products work.
• Train and mentor Implementation and Project Management teams to increase their technical proficiency, reducing their reliance on escalation for basic issues.
• Own the creation, maintenance, and organization of comprehensive technical documentation, troubleshooting guides, and internal runbooks.
• Establish and rigorously enforce technical support and implementation quality standards, ensuring all work is executed with meticulous detail and no shortcuts are ever taken in analysis or resolution.
• Ensure every support ticket and incident is completely logged and documented with the problem, steps taken, root cause, and the final solution.

• Strong analytical skills with a methodical approach to troubleshooting and an unwavering commitment to Root Cause Analysis.
• Experience with support ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk, Jira) and maintaining technical knowledge base systems.
• Proactive & Driven: You are self-directed, take immediate ownership of problems, and relentlessly drive them to completion.
