Domain Focus The Business Analyst will develop and maintain expertise across Customer Support processes, including areas such as: • Case intake and case lifecycle management • Email, digital, and other service channels • Case categorization, prioritization, assignment, and routing • Queues and workload management • Service-level agreements and escalation processes • Agent productivity and workspace design • Tasks, notifications, and workflow automation • Knowledge management • Customer and internal self-service • AI-assisted service and agent capabilities • Service metrics, reporting, operational insights, and quality management • Integrations with supporting customer, communications, and operational systems The exact functional scope may evolve as business processes and Salesforce capabilities change.
