• Partner with technology, data governance, and transformation teams to improve knowledge discoverability, article quality, automation readiness, chatbot accuracy, and case deflection.
• Assist in validating knowledge content for AI-enabled quality review, chatbot responses, automated ticket routing, digital workforce support, and other digital service enhancements.
• Ensure knowledge content is structured and reusable so it can feed self-service options, virtual agents, digital assistants, guided help, and future-state service platforms.
• Ensure content standards support a consistent customer experience across channels such as Remedy, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, self-service portals, and digital workforce touchpoints.

• High attention to detail, strong ownership mindset, and ability to manage multiple documentation priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to partner effectively with SMEs, operations teams, technology teams, transformation teams, and leadership.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools, SharePoint, ticketing systems, reporting dashboards, and digital collaboration platforms; experience with AI/Copilot, virtual agents, or automation-enabled knowledge solutions is preferred.
