What You'll Do
- At Omnidian we believe in trust and autonomy. How you create an impact is ultimately up to you. Here is an outline of some of the things you’ll be doing:

- Legal Coordination: Manage legal escalations and claims by partnering directly with Omnidian's Legal team to gather documentation, investigate case history, coordinate internal stakeholders, and support case resolution.
- Risk Assessment: Identify situations with elevated legal, financial, or reputational risk and escalate appropriately while maintaining accurate, defensible documentation.
- System Recovery: Identify root causes of technical failures and execute policy overrides to restore system accuracy and performance.
- Advanced Troubleshooting: Apply specialized knowledge in high-complexity areas, including roof leak protocols, electrical and safety concerns, and remote troubleshooting for all standard solar equipment.
- Operational Coordination: Coordinate directly with Field Service Partners and internal Operations teams to ensure dispatches result in a verified fix and systems are returned to normal operation.
- Peer Development: Act as a subject matter expert by coaching, mentoring, and training peers on complex case handling, technical troubleshooting, and escalation best practices.
- Process Improvement: Identify trends, recommend operational improvements, and contribute to the development of new processes, documentation, and training materials that improve the customer experience.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate across Customer Experience, Operations, Legal, Product, and Client Success to remove barriers, improve workflows, and ensure consistent customer outcomes.
- Feedback Loops: Identify, document, and flag recurring technical anomalies or operational bottlenecks discovered during daily case handling.
- Evidence-Based Change: Provide leadership with documented evidence and frontline insights needed to justify SOP adjustments and stop emerging trends before they impact the broader queue.
