Serving as the main point of contact between Carrier Operations, Customer Success, Technology, and external carriers/customers for all integration and automation problems Troubleshooting inbound and outbound customer EDI/API feeds (e.g., scorecards, 214s) and proactively resolving issues instead of escalating every ticket Reviewing customer scorecards and proactively identifying holes or breakdowns in data flows Documenting, prioritizing, and driving bugs or process gaps through to completion with accountability and follow-up Gathering feedback and translating pain points into actionable items for the technology backlog Surfacing new ideas to automate processes or optimize integrations, keeping the bigger business picture in view
