Key Responsibilities Client Interface & Technical Support: Field incoming Tier 1 support inquiries from IT leads and PACS administrators at clinical facilities, providing guidance on our software solutions.

Root-Cause Analysis & Monitoring: Uncover underlying system issues through systematic root-cause investigations while tracking service reliability on both internal systems and client sites. Process Enhancement: Refine internal support workflows to permanently increase resolution speed and overall service performance. Data Center & Strategic Accounts: Oversee archiving system operations within our data centers and handle technical escalations for key strategic accounts during critical events. Knowledge Management: Maintain and structure internal knowledge bases alongside technical system documentation. Supplementary Duties for the Team Lead Option (Includes reduced operational support duties): Team Leadership: Provide functional and administrative management for a distributed support team. Resource Allocation: Oversee daily incoming workloads and strategically manage team capacity.
