- Administer Decagon and its integration with Zendesk, including handoffs, escalations, and routing of AI-escalated tickets
- Serve as a hands-on admin across our broader support tooling, including Sprinklr, Gainsight, MaestroQA, Assembled, among others
- Evaluate and expand agent-facing AI capabilities, including Zendesk Copilot and other agent assist opportunities
- Own the lifecycle of systems changes, including requirements, design, testing, rollout, communication, and post-launch monitoring

We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 3+ years of experience as a Zendesk administrator or Business Systems Analyst supporting a customer or product support organization
- Deep hands-on experience with Zendesk workflows, routing, automations, business rules, queue architecture, and channel configuration, plus hands-on experience configuring Decagon and integrating it with Zendesk
- Experience administering or supporting multiple tools across a support ecosystem, and the ability to learn new systems quickly
- Experience leading systems changes independently or in partnership with Engineering, IT, Security, or Analytics
- Strong communication skills, ownership, and sound judgment, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders while maintaining a high bar for quality, documentation, and execution
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Zendesk Administrator certification
- Experience configuring skills-based routing, intelligent routing, or classification
- Experience with Zendesk Copilot, agent assist, or other AI-powered support tooling
- Admin experience with Sprinklr, Gainsight, MaestroQA, Assembled, or Salesforce
