  • Track AI mistakes and quality trends; route findings to the AI Knowledge & Support Operations Owner through the shared partnership.
  • Maintain support procedures and ensure the clinical-review requirement is followed on every AI-assisted answer involving drug or clinical information.
  • Team weekly scorecard: cases resolved, per-specialist productivity, resolution time, FCR, CSAT, reopened cases.
  • Quality-review cadence maintained; AI-error feedback loop functioning (errors logged, routed, corrected).
  • Coaching outcomes: representative skill progression and reduced avoidable escalations.

Required Skills:

  • Proven senior-level performance in front-line or technical support at FDB or equivalent.
  • Coaching and mentoring capability; credibility with both representatives and consultants.
  • Familiarity with common pharmacy terms is preferred, but not required.
