Sentar is seeking a Technical Operations Analyst!

Role Description:

As a Technical Operations Analyst, you are the critical bridge between initial support and our senior engineering teams. Your primary responsibility is to act as the "scoping analyst" for complex technical issues and service requests. You will use your broad technical knowledge of our service offerings to determine if a request falls within the scope of our standard support contract, requires escalation for professional services, or is a request for a new capability.

In addition to advanced troubleshooting, you are responsible for customer onboarding reviews and the development and refinement of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that empower our entire support structure.

• Customer Onboarding Review: Perform the first review of customer onboarding documents, identifying which requirements are met by our standard solution set and which require engagement with engineering for scoping.
• Advanced Troubleshooting: Resolve complex technical issues that are beyond the scope of Tier 1 but within the defined support contract.
• SOP/DTP Development: Author, review, and maintain the SOPs and Detailed Technical Procedures (DTPs) used by the entire support desk to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Liaison to Engineering: Act as the primary point of contact between the Service Desk and senior engineering teams, ensuring issues are well-documented and scoped before escalation.
