• Track and report key onboarding metrics, including time to activation and health-check completion, as well as support metrics such as ticket volume, resolution time, and customer satisfaction.
• Provide regular operational reporting and performance insights to senior leadership.
• Maintain high standards for e911 registration accuracy and ensure appropriate PCI and HIPAA handling practices for call recordings and protected health information.
• Act as a hands-on technical resource for complex VoIP troubleshooting, customer cutovers, and escalated support cases.
• Establish a scalable support and onboarding operating model capable of adapting to a growing customer base.
• Within the first 90 days, establish documented SOPs and escalation workflows, enable support specialists to independently manage Level 1 tickets, and deliver a functional onboarding and support metrics dashboard to leadership.

• Practical experience with e911 registration and related compliance requirements.
• Strong understanding of voice networking fundamentals, including QoS, NAT, SIP-ALG, firewall configuration considerations, bandwidth requirements, and call-quality troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated ability to build scalable processes, SOPs, technical documentation, and operational runbooks.
• Experience managing vendor or technology-partner relationships and coordinating technical escalations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate technical issues clearly to customers, team members, vendors, and senior leadership.
• Comfortable owning executive-facing reporting, interpreting operational metrics, and translating technical performance into actionable business insights.
