You will work closely with L2 and other teams to define clear ownership, identify work Product Support (L1) can safely take on, and build repeatable escalation paths.

SCALE SYSTEMS, WORKFLOWS, AND AUTOMATION - Own improvements to frontline support tooling, routing, workflows, macros, and internal processes. - Own improvements to frontline Product Support (L1) tooling, routing, workflows, macros, and internal processes. - Develop AI-assisted support and automation, including Intercom Fin, to reduce repetitive work while maintaining response quality and appropriate human escalation. - Identify recurring contact drivers and partner with Product, Engineering, and other teams to address them at the source. - Build reporting and operating reviews that make workload, service performance, escalation patterns, and risks visible. - Establish shared processes with specialist Support teams while respecting their ownership of technical delivery.
