· Provide “tier 1” troubleshooting and issue resolution based on approved business rules and workflow procedures and protocols. This includes prioritizing, escalating, and answering/resolving tickets and serving as the first level of contact for the client’s store employees.
· Quickly identify unusual or high-priority issues and handle them effectively with our team.
· Collaborate internally with our team to evaluate/modify workflow procedures and improve internal processes. This may include planning meetings and other team activity to adjust our services, coverage strategies, etc.
