Our client runs a high-volume customer support operation on Zendesk, and the platform is the backbone of how thousands of patients get help every day. You'll own the Zendesk instance end to end — keeping it fast, clean, and smart — so support agents spend their time helping customers instead of fighting their tools.
This is a hands-on administrator role for someone who treats a support platform like a product: measured, iterated, and always improving.
Responsibilities:

Own the instance — manage users, roles, groups, brands, and views; keep the configuration clean as the team scales.

Build the automation layer — design and maintain triggers, automations, macros, and SLA policies that route tickets to the right people at the right time.

Connect the stack — manage integrations with the tools around Zendesk (telephony, messaging, e-commerce/billing systems, internal apps) and troubleshoot when data stops flowing.

Run the numbers — build and maintain dashboards and reporting (Zendesk Explore) on volume, response times, CSAT, and agent performance; surface what leadership needs to see.

Improve the workflows — partner with CX leadership to spot friction, test changes, and roll out improvements to routing, forms, help center content, and self-service flows.

Support the team — onboard new agents, document processes, and act as the go-to resource for anything Zendesk.

Requirements

3+ years administering Zendesk at meaningful ticket volume — Support required; Explore, Guide, Talk, and Chat experience strongly preferred.

Automation fluency — you've built non-trivial trigger and automation logic and know how to keep it from becoming spaghetti.

Integration experience — comfortable with Zendesk apps and marketplace tools; API/webhook familiarity is a strong plus.

Data instincts — you can build a clean Explore dashboard and explain what it says.

AI-forward mindset — experience with Zendesk AI features (bots, intelligent triage) or a demonstrated appetite to deploy them; comfort using AI tools in your own workflow is expected.

Strong written and spoken English — you'll work directly with a US-based CX and leadership team.

US timezone overlap — availability during US business hours.
