• Track recurring customer issues, identify trends, and recommend process improvements.
• Update and maintain customer service macros, FAQs, and internal documentation.
• Monitor customer sentiment and support efforts to maintain a best-in-class post-purchase experience.
• Assist with proactive outreach during high-volume periods (product launches, holiday seasons, and major sales).
