Smart-Ups L3 Escalation Support Lead
West Kingston, Rhode Island, United States
Customer escalation support, solution configuration, new product development, technical writing and documentation, employee training, and process management for Data Center power solutions. In this role I lead customer support for APC Smart-UPS. Technical skills provided with a strong measure of empathy, understanding, and listening builds lifelong customers. I genuinely love hearing from customers and want them to walk away from bad experiences knowing that they have been heard, their needs have been met, and that they can count on us. "Delight the customer" may be an industry catch phrase, but it is something I very much take to heart.In addition to handling major escalated support issues, I served as the technical guru for the Smart-UPS product line. I worked closely with product management, design engineering, and quality engineering to ensure that we offered the right solutions with the highest level of reliability. I played an active role from the beginning of the NPD process all the way through to the end of support allowing me to have a very complete picture of the product lifecycle and customer response.I trained support staff & customers, worked with sales teams to configure solutions for specialized applications, wrote customized user guides and manuals, and filled in the gaps for any Smart-UPS need that was not handled by another team. When the customer needed to hear “I know just the guy who can figure this out”, I was that person. This role allowed me to act as an owner for the product line, do what was needed to turn the experience around, and make fast decisions on the fly.•Escalated Customer Support•Subject Matter Expert•New Product Development•Project Management•Technical Writing•Training
