* You will identify root causes and align on a path forward that is aligned with sales, support, product, development, and most importantly, with the customer.


* You will put a plan in place to delight the customer within agreed upon time constraints. Then you will lead that project.


* You will write concise communication, with a focus on meeting the readers' needs at a cadence that provides effective transparency.


* You will convey technical concepts & step-by-step troubleshooting to internal/external stakeholders with a wide range of technical understandings.


* You will eagerly await internal partners and external customers' feedback to see what you did well and how you can improve.
