The Customer Care Technical Analyst will be responsible for front-line technical support of the Northpointe Suite, including troubleshooting and first-stage investigative work required to drive customer issues to resolution.

Upon completion of training and onboarding, the role includes after-hours on-call responsibility for Priority 1 (P1) tickets only. Some exceptions for onboarding, company meetings, and on-site requirements may apply.

Requirements

Consistent, proactive, and detailed communication — internally and externally. Does not wait to be asked for updates.
Written and verbal communication is clear, organized, and stands alone without follow-up clarification.
Approaches unfamiliar problems with initiative.
Independently researches issues, asks thoughtful questions, and pursues skill growth without requiring direction to do so.
Ability to recognize trends in escalated issues.
Ability to manage multiple complex tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment.

Basic SQL knowledge preferred, or willingness to learn.

Responsibilities

Respond to incoming customer inquiries across all available channels, managing a work queue to ensure compliance with Service Level Agreement timeframes.

Accurately assess the priority and severity of customer issues based on predefined criteria, customer problem descriptions, and industry experience; utilize established escalation paths for issues of routine scope and complexity.
Provide practical workarounds to customers when immediate software modifications are not available.
Log all and any ongoing actions with thorough, specific detail — capturing sufficient context so that any team member can understand the full history of an issue without follow-up, and building the support knowledge base over time.
Monitor open tickets twice daily to ensure timely progress; keep ticket status current and maintain proactive customer communication throughout.
Maintain quality test records to capture testing evidence carried out prior to software releases.
Communicate proactively with customers and internal stakeholders — including status updates using pre-defined criteria.

Follow documented procedures for processing complex data, reporting problems, and required changes.
Assist with creating, organizing, and maintaining the equivant Documentation Library.
Understand team metrics and SLA standards; make suggestions to improve data quality and processes.
