Manage upgrades and adoption: Proactively manage customers through new feature releases and configuration changes, ensuring smooth adoption and building internal champions who drive platform utilization. Customer Support As an integral member of the global Support Team: Resolve issues: Provide responsive support via email, chat, and ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk, Jira); troubleshoot and resolve platform, configuration, and process-related issues across your customer portfolio. Escalate effectively: Triage and elevate complex technical issues to Engineering or Product with clear reproduction steps and customer impact assessments. Build the knowledge base: Document common issues, resolutions, and best practices to strengthen the internal knowledge base and reduce repeat ticket volume. Be the expert: Maintain deep working knowledge of the Kivo platform to guide users on navigation, configuration, integrations, and EU compliance best practices. Implementation Consulting Working in partnership with the US-based implementation team: Deliver implementations: Lead end-to-end implementations of the Kivo platform through structured project management: project charter, timelines, RAID logs, stakeholder communications, and executive readouts. Design & configure: Facilitate discovery and design workshops; translate regulated process requirements (GxP, 21 CFR Part 11 / Annex 11) into configured platform solutions with documented decisions and guide the adoption of Kivo. Support validation: Support the customer's validation workstream by educating customers in the Kivo validation methodology and providing an orientation to Kivo documentation. Support data migration: Partner with the Data Migration team on discovery, field mapping, dry-run coordination, and production cutover checklists for compliant data transfers.
