Hcl Tech Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

The Product Specialist is a key contributor within Health Care Logistics' technology product team, supporting an assigned product within the technology portfolio. Working under the guidance of the Senior Product Specialist, this role serves as the front line of customer support and product operations — owning the support pipeline, executing QA test plans, handling standard system configurations, and documenting customer feedback. This is a learning-and-doing role — the Product Specialist builds deep product knowledge through hands‑on customer engagement and develops the skills needed to grow into a Senior Product Specialist or Product Owner over time. Success is measured by quality of customer support, responsiveness, reliability in follow‑through, and growing product expertise.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing product support, implementation, technical account management, or help desk role — or equivalent experience in a structured internship or associate‑level position.
• Familiarity with gathering customer requirements and documenting them in structured formats such as configuration plans, issue tickets, or workflow descriptions.
• Hands‑on experience performing functional testing or QA on software, or a demonstrated aptitude for learning structured testing processes.
• Experience managing customer issues using a ticketing or issue tracking system, with the ability to categorize, prioritize, and follow through to resolution.
• Working proficiency with productivity and collaboration tools — for example, an issue tracker (such as Jira), a knowledge base or wiki (such as Confluence), and a modern office suite.

Preferred

• Experience supporting connected hardware products (sensors, scanners, RFID, IoT devices) in a customer‑facing role
• Familiarity with healthcare, pharmacy, or regulated supply chain environments.
• Background in technical writing, customer enablement, or developer‑adjacent product roles.
• Interest in growing toward product strategy, Agile product ownership, or team leadership over time.

Customer Support & Issue Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for customer support inquiries, owning issues from intake through resolution and escalating complex problems to the Senior Product Specialist.
• Maintain and manage the customer issue tracker, ensuring all support requests are logged, categorized, prioritized, and resolved or escalated within established response time expectations.
• Track and report on support volume, resolution times, issue categories, and customer satisfaction trends, providing visibility to the product team on where the product is succeeding and where it's falling short.

• Triage and document suspected product defects from both QA testing and customer‑reported issues, providing the development team with clear reproduction steps and contextual information to support efficient resolution.

Customer Enablement & Documentation

• Author and maintain end‑user documentation, quick reference guides, and operational SOPs that reduce dependence on direct support.
• Use insights from support interactions to identify gaps in customer training or documentation, recommending updates that address common user confusion or workflow errors.
