In this role, you'll own and evolve the customer experience and support platforms that power multiple Allegion brands - with Zendesk making up the core of your day-to-day responsibilities.

- Demonstrated experience building chatbots, conversational flows, or automated routing logic
- Strong working knowledge of core support tools: Ticketing, Knowledge Management, Live Chat, Cloud Telephony and Analytics
- Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and integrating SaaS platforms with external systems
- Familiarity with templating languages (e.g., Liquid, Handlebars) for dynamic content within tickets and articles is a plus
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to design and interpret custom reports and dashboards
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment while communicating clearly with stakeholders at all levels
