Establish and monitor knowledge KPIs (e.g. article usage, deflection rates, content health, AI answer accuracy), reporting performance and insights to the Senior Operations Lead and wider leadership team.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Operations, Support Engineering, and Regional Support Leaders to ensure knowledge reflects the latest product changes, processes, and customer needs.
Govern content quality and compliance, ensuring all knowledge is on-brand, accurate, accessible, and aligned with regulatory and data protection requirements.
Champion continuous improvement, using feedback loops from agents, customers, and AI performance data to refine content, fill knowledge gaps, and improve the overall support experience.
Support enablement and training, ensuring new and existing agents are equipped to find, use, and contribute to the knowledge base effectively.
And other duties that may be assigned from time to time.
