This person should have familiarity with and a passion for improving SquareTrade / Allstate Protection Plans systems, customer journeys, and collaborating with technology and regional groups.

Responsibilities

Level of Independent Decision Making: Medium to High

- Wherever possible, you will solve any issues independently.

- You will manage any system concerns.

Monitoring, Triage & Escalation

- You may be involved in monitoring production signals (e.g., Datadog dashboards and alerts, Amplitude traffic, issue intake trends) to detect large customer-impacting issues early, rather than waiting for customer escalations.
- You will triage, replicate, and document issues with clear reproduction steps, evidence, and a business impact statement backed by data (e.g., affected customers or claims, contact volume, CSAT/NPS signals, financial exposure).
- You will log and manage System Escalations in Agility, route Issues to the appropriate Digital Product Team (DPT) planning room, and follow them through resolution within our priority and target-restoration framework.
- You will help classify issues consistently (defect vs. working-as-designed vs. enhancement) to support prioritization.

Backlog Coordination

- You will serve in coordination capacity for existing System Escalations, partnering with cross-functional colleagues to confirm ownership, refresh impact, and keep items moving.

Compliance and Ops Coordination

- You may need to support Claim Closings (currently a manual process), completing them within SLA and communicating risks or delays proactively.
- You will provide guidance to MOD, BackOffice, and CRT for High Risk Escalations, etc.
- You may be required to assist with GDPR Legal Escalations and other Compliance needs.

Regional Concierge & Collaboration

- You will host and/or support regional Bug Scrum Meetings for System Escalations in solving UK, EU, Australia, Japan, United States, Canada, and other Pacific countries customer issues.
- You will collaborate with varied teams like Product, Engineering, DB, Business Architecture, CX, and Operations.
- You will troubleshoot and participate in Teams meetings, and follow up on triage efforts.

Data, AI & Continuous Improvement

- You will engage in data-driven decision making, using SQL, reporting, dashboards and other data sources to size issues and identify trends.
- You will use approved AI and agentic tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Datadog Bits AI) to accelerate day-to-day triage, replication, pattern-finding, and impact statements, always validating outputs before acting on them.
- You will help test and validate expanding customer and specialist service tools, providing feedback on defects and experience gaps.
- You will help shape how production issues are detected and triaged.
- As your task list permits, you will innovate (process revamp, etc.), evolving how we do what we do.
