● Own tickets through to resolution—ensuring prompt follow-up and thorough documentation. Proactively contribute to support content (FAQs, internal playbooks) and process improvements.

● Meet or exceed expectations for ticket response time, resolution time, and customer satisfaction (CSAT).

● Collaborate across departments (product, engineering, filing, onboarding) to solve customer problems holistically.
