  • Conduct regular testing of Chatbot functionality to identify friction points and continuously refine AI training inputs using improved Help Center content.
  • Use analytics tools to track and report on Help Center and Chatbot performance, identifying usage patterns, content gaps, and opportunities for enhancement.
  • Use project management tools and skills to maintain Help Center and Chatbot content to ensure scalability and consistency. 

Team / Collaboration

  • Work cross-functionally with Support, Product, Lifecycle Marketing, Engineering, and other teams to align on feature launches, content updates, and messaging best practices.
  • Manage and prioritize content requests from internal teams based on business impact, customer need, and resource availability.
  • Facilitate feedback loops with Customer Facing teams through surveys, focus groups, or interviews to gather insights and improve documentation and chatbot flows.

Leadership:

  • Opportunities may arise to mentor peers, lead cross-functional content initiatives, or contribute to strategic planning.
