Proof of work
The team
The Process Optimization team partners with Client Engagement (CE) leadership to understand business needs and engineer solutions across CE systems and platforms. We own the technical backbone of CE operations - designing, building, and maintaining the workflows, automations, and integrations that power the client experience. Our work spans Zendesk administration, AI-driven automation, system integrations, and continuous improvement initiatives that directly impact resolution times, agent efficiency, and client satisfaction.
This is a technical role focused on Zendesk platform administration and CE systems optimization. The specialist will own the configuration, maintenance, and improvement of Zendesk workflows, business rules, and integrations. They will leverage AI tools and automation to drive efficiency, and act as the technical bridge between business requirements and system implementation. This is not a support agent role - it is a systems and process engineering position.

- Exposure to RPA tools (UiPath, Automation Anywhere) or low-code platforms (Zapier, Make/Integromat, n8n) for cross-system automation
