Enablement, Training & Documentation:

• Develop and deliver training for Zendesk Administrators on advanced automation and AI capabilities.
• Create scalable documentation, playbooks, and design standards.
• Mentor administrators to support increasingly complex configurations and integrations.
• Establish a knowledge-sharing culture within the CoE.

What you bring to the role:

• Experience driving automation and process optimization in a global environment.
• JSON knowledge is preferred.
• Experience with AI/automation platforms (e.g., conversational AI, machine learning applications) is preferred.
