Zendesk Administrator (Remote - LATAM)
Our client runs a high-volume customer support operation on Zendesk, and the platform is the backbone of how thousands of patients get help every day. You'll own the Zendesk instance end to end โ keeping it fast, clean, and smart โ so support agents spend their time helping customers instead of fighting their tools.
This is a hands-on administrator role for someone who treats a support platform like a product: measured, iterated, and always improving.
Responsibilities:
-
Own the instance โ manage users, roles, groups, brands, and views; keep the configuration clean as the team scales.
-
Build the automation layer โ design and maintain triggers, automations, macros, and SLA policies that route tickets to the right people at the right time.
-
Connect the stack โ manage integrations with the tools around Zendesk (telephony, messaging, e-commerce/billing systems, internal apps) and troubleshoot when data stops flowing.
-
Run the numbers โ build and maintain dashboards and reporting (Zendesk Explore) on volume, response times, CSAT, and agent performance; surface what leadership needs to see.
-
Improve the workflows โ partner with CX leadership to spot friction, test changes, and roll out improvements to routing, forms, help center content, and self-service flows.
-
Support the team โ onboard new agents, document processes, and act as the go-to resource for anything Zendesk.
Requirements
-
3+ years administering Zendesk at meaningful ticket volume โ Support required; Explore, Guide, Talk, and Chat experience strongly preferred.
-
Automation fluency โ you've built non-trivial trigger and automation logic and know how to keep it from becoming spaghetti.
-
Integration experience โ comfortable with Zendesk apps and marketplace tools; API/webhook familiarity is a strong plus.
-
Data instincts โ you can build a clean Explore dashboard and explain what it says.
-
AI-forward mindset โ experience with Zendesk AI features (bots, intelligent triage) or a demonstrated appetite to deploy them; comfort using AI tools in your own workflow is expected.
-
Strong written and spoken English โ you'll work directly with a US-based CX and leadership team.
-
US timezone overlap โ availability during US business hours.
