Support new services, major changes, and onboarding activities by identifying and documenting required Tier 0/Tier 1 procedures, common requests, incident types, and troubleshooting flows; ensure consistent understanding and use of these procedures across all teams, sections, and shifts, resolving “shadow procedures” in partnership with leadership and SMEs. In coordination with training staff and service desk leadership, develop and maintain training materials (such as slide decks, quick reference guides, job aids, and e‑learning outlines) based on finalized knowledge articles and SOPs, conduct or support training and walk‑throughs, and ensure training content and the knowledge base remain aligned. Act as a central point of contact for Tier 0/Tier 1 knowledge content and structure, using article usage data, agent feedback, and related ticket trends to report on knowledge effectiveness, recommend improvements to knowledge and training processes, and support service desk efficiency and first‑contact resolution. Operate as an internal, non‑supervisory role that supports service desk operations and influences how multiple sections function through the management and improvement of shared knowledge assets (no direct customer‑facing responsibilities).
