- Deliver user enablement through onboarding support, training materials, office hours, and targeted guidance for common issues and process changes.
- Identify recurring incidents, knowledge gaps, access issues, process breakdowns, and improvement opportunities; partner with stakeholders to address root causes.
- Collaborate with Product Management, Reporting & Analytics, business process owners, IT, vendors, and end users to stabilize services and support measurable improvements in adoption, reliability, and user satisfaction.
Basic Qualifications

- 2+ years of experience in application support, business systems administration, service desk operations, procurement operations, supplier enablement, workflow administration, or a related operational support role.

- Experience supporting end users, troubleshooting functional issues, documenting processes, and coordinating with technical teams, vendors, or business stakeholders.
- Strong attention to detail, organizational discipline, written communication skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a service-oriented environment.
Preferred Qualifications

- Experience creating SOPs, job aids, FAQs, knowledge articles, training materials, or user communications.
- Familiarity with tools or concepts such as Azure DevOps, Modern Requirements, Power BI, service catalogs, report catalogs, or ITIL-aligned service management practices.
What You Bring
- A service-first mindset and the ability to communicate clearly with users, business partners, technical teams, and vendors.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, including the ability to isolate issues, ask effective diagnostic questions, and document complete findings.
- Process discipline, follow-through, and comfort working within defined intake, escalation, access, testing, and change management procedures.
- Curiosity and continuous improvement orientation, with a willingness to identify recurring issues and help improve runbooks, controls, and knowledge quality.
- Ability to work independently while staying aligned to team priorities, service commitments, and the broader AOS operating model.
Success in This Role
- Incidents and requests are resolved or escalated within agreed service expectations, with clear documentation and proactive communication.
- Backlog age, repeat incidents, and avoidable escalations decrease through improved triage, knowledge management, and corrective-action follow-through.
- User access, configuration updates, testing evidence, release verification, and operational checks are completed accurately and on schedule.
- Knowledge articles, SOPs, job aids, and training materials remain current, usable, and aligned to the way AOS applications are supported.
