• Assist customers with technical, application, configuration, and workflow-related questions involving ICANotes products and services.
• Provide basic product education and guidance when customer inquiries involve training or appropriate system workflows.

• Follow assigned weekly support schedules, including designated telephone, chat, email, and ticket responsibilities based on departmental needs.
• Accurately document customer communications, troubleshooting steps, resolutions, and follow-up activities within the designated ticketing or customer support system.
• Maintain appropriate ownership of assigned customer issues through resolution or appropriate escalation.
• Meet or exceed established service-level agreements, response-time expectations, customer satisfaction standards, quality metrics, ticket resolution goals, and other departmental performance measures.
• Follow established standard operating procedures, escalation protocols, security requirements, and departmental policies.
• Recognize situations that require escalation to management, Product, Engineering, Billing, Training, Compliance, or other appropriate departments.
• Maintain professionalism and composure when assisting customers experiencing technical difficulties, workflow disruptions, or other concerns.
• Remain current on product releases, system enhancements, known issues, internal documentation, technical articles, and procedural changes.
• Identify recurring customer concerns and communicate trends or potential systemic issues to the Support Manager.
• Review and recommend improvements to knowledge base articles, troubleshooting resources, customer education materials, and internal support documentation.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives designed to improve response times, first-contact resolution, customer satisfaction, and overall departmental performance.
• Collaborate effectively with other Support team members and cross-functional departments to resolve customer concerns.
• Protect confidential company and customer information and comply with all applicable privacy, security, and data-handling requirements.
• Participate in required meetings, training sessions, coaching, performance reviews, and professional development activities.
