  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to scope and deliver AI-powered solutions that address pain points across departments.

Technical Support & Operations
  • Lead the help desk function across all ticket levels, leveraging AI-powered tools to optimize ticket routing, auto-resolution, and response time.
  • Implement and tune AI-assisted ticket response systems to reduce average resolution time and improve end-user satisfaction scores.
  • Analyze ticket data and support trends to proactively identify systemic issues and drive continuous improvement.
  • Ensure system uptime, performance, and user satisfaction; monitor system performance and implement improvements.
