Lead process adoption and change management for new or improved support processes and enablement initiatives; recommend technology investments that improve experience and efficiency. Expand and improve end-user self-service and knowledge content to reduce avoidable contacts and improve first-contact/first-resolution outcomes. Collaborate with other technology and support teams to identify root causes and resolve recurring issues through problem management practices.
