Salary
💰 $115,000 - $155,000 per year
About the role
- Own the implementation and configuration of Zendesk as Harvey’s primary support platform, including ticket routing, views, triggers, automations, macros, SLA policies, and agent workspace setup.
- Integrate Zendesk with Harvey’s broader tooling ecosystem — including CRM, product data, internal communication tools, and reporting infrastructure — to ensure a seamless support workflow.
- Partner with Support leadership to translate operational requirements into system configurations; act as the technical translator between what the support team needs and what the tooling can do.
- Maintain system health: monitor performance, manage user permissions and roles, troubleshoot issues, and ensure the platform is reliable and up to date.
- Build and maintain reporting and dashboards within Zendesk that give Support leadership visibility into ticket volume, SLAs, agent performance, and customer trends.
- Evaluate and implement Zendesk apps and add-ons that improve support efficiency, including AI-powered features for triage, suggested responses, and deflection.
- Document system configurations, integration logic, and administrative processes to ensure continuity and support future team members.
- Stay current on Zendesk product updates and proactively identify opportunities to improve the platform as new capabilities become available.
Requirements
- 3+ years of recent hands-on Zendesk administration experience, including configuration of routing, automations, triggers, SLA policies, and agent workspace.
- Experience integrating Zendesk with third-party tools (e.g., Salesforce, Slack, Linear, or similar) and working with APIs or middleware platforms to connect systems.
- Strong technical problem-solving skills — you can diagnose a broken workflow, trace it to its root cause, and fix it without waiting to be told how.
- Familiarity with support operations more broadly — you understand the workflows your configurations are serving and can anticipate how changes will affect the team.
- Experience building reports and dashboards in Zendesk Explore, Omni, or similar BI tools to support operational decision-making.
- Organized and documentation-minded — you keep configurations well-documented and your work easy to hand off or build on.
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, and Support to scope and execute system improvements.
- Bonus: Zendesk certification(s); experience with AI-powered Zendesk features (e.g., Intelligent Triage, suggested replies) or other support AI tooling.
