  • Produce products that conform to the company documentation and quality assurance standards.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering partners to enhance their understanding of the current customer experience and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Apply technical depth to plan, design, and create complex operational, instructional, and procedural content.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate technical concepts into clear manuals and resources for both human and AI agents.
  • Represent Process Excellence in cross-functional forums, helping shape broader servicing priorities while ensuring alignment within working groups.
  • Responsibilities may be extended to include other areas of project management and the successful candidate will need to skill-up to have a working knowledge of these areas.
