This role is a strong fit for someone who combines technical curiosity, careful execution, and clear communication to keep client requests moving and deliver high-quality support experience.
What you’ll do
• Handle client requests through tickets and calls, resolving operational and technical issues while delivering a high-quality customer experience.

• Use established documentation, tools, and troubleshooting steps to resolve routine application, configuration, and web-based issues.
• Gather complete diagnostic information for issues outside your scope and route them to the appropriate team to support efficient resolution.
• Follow up with clients and internal stakeholders on open requests, maintaining accurate ticket notes, documentation, and status updates.
• Perform quality control testing on support changes and client deliverables to confirm outputs are accurate and aligned to requirements.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to clarify business needs, support deliverables, and maintain alignment with product, process, and quality standards.
• Identify recurring issues and recommend improvements to documentation, templates, tools, and work processes while building knowledge of SMG products, tools, and technologies.
What success looks like
• Within 30 days, build working knowledge of SMG products, support tools, documentation, and standard processes, and begin resolving routine client requests with appropriate guidance.
• Within 60 days, independently manage a consistent volume of common support requests, document work accurately, and escalate more complex issues with complete diagnostic information.
• Within 90 days, deliver reliable front-line support across common client needs, contribute improvements that reduce repeat issues or increase efficiency, and participate effectively in required application support coverage.

• Experience supporting and troubleshooting applications or large-scale systems, including web-based applications.
• Working knowledge of application configuration, web-based platforms, support tools, and basic technical concepts such as HTML, SQL, data modeling, or system process design.
• Strong written and verbal communication, troubleshooting, prioritization, attention to detail, and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to learn new technologies quickly and participate in application support coverage as business needs require.
Preferred:
