Responsibilities

• Serve as the first point of contact for internal support requests; intake, triage, troubleshoot, and resolve tickets through Zendesk
• Diagnose and resolve user and system issues across platforms including Encompass (LOS) and related tools
• Identify root cause of issues (system vs. process vs. user error) and route or escalate with clear ownership and context
• Maintain proactive, consistent communication with teammates through resolution and closure
• Monitor for high-impact or widespread issues and escalate with urgency
• Configure and maintain telephony systems including call flows, IVRs, queues, routing logic, voicemail, and user permissions
• Own day-to-day system administration including adds/changes, access management, and queue/agent configuration
• Partner with Technology and external vendors to support enhancements, troubleshoot issues, and ensure system reliability
• Continuously evaluate system performance and recommend improvements that enhance both teammate and client experience
• Identify trends in support requests and proactively recommend solutions (training, workflow updates, system fixes)
• Improve ticket quality and efficiency through better intake standards, categorization, and documentation
• Contribute to building scalable processes that reduce repeat issues and maximize team productivity
• Act with urgency and ownership to remove blockers and keep production moving

Skills

• Strong communication skills with the ability to support teammates across multiple functions and provide clear, timely updates
• Highly organized and process-oriented, with the ability to identify patterns and drive continuous improvement—not just fix one-off issues
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability; you follow problems through to resolution and don't let things fall through the cracks
• Ability to operate with urgency and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced production environment where speed-to-serve matters
• Adaptability and a growth mindset—you're comfortable with change, open to feedback, and motivated to get better every day
• Familiarity with Encompass or similar LOS systems preferred; mortgage or financial services experience is a plus
