As an Escalation Support Specialist (specializing in the automotive industry) working hybrid in Allen Park, MI, you’ll become part of a community that values your success, supports your career growth, and celebrates your contributions.

What You’ll Be Doing

The Escalation Support Specialist plays a vital role in delivering a smooth and reliable experience for customers using connected vehicle services.

During a Typical Day, You’ll

• Provide expert-level technical assistance for escalated customer issues, ensuring timely resolution within defined service-level agreements (SLAs).

• Analyze support trends and recurring issues to identify root causes and areas for improvement. Contribute to the development of reports and key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to resolve issues efficiently and maintain clear, consistent communication with all parties.
• Maintain responsibility for end-to-end case management, ensuring updates are clearly communicated to customers, internal stakeholders, and partner teams.
• Identify opportunities to streamline support processes and reduce manual effort. Collaborate with the Knowledge Base team to create and maintain internal documentation that enables real-time solutions.
• Escalate unresolved or highly complex issues through appropriate channels (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, Microsoft Teams, Webex), ensuring timely handoff and continued visibility until resolution.
• Monitor and communicate patterns in software-related issues to team leads and relevant stakeholders to support root-cause analysis and long-term resolution planning.

What You Bring to the Role

• A high school diploma or GED (required); additional education in automotive service, software technology, or a related field is preferred—or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience in engineering or technical support, ideally in a customer-facing or escalation-focused role.

• Experience working in a remote or distributed work environment is a plus.
• Strong technical troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve complex hardware and software issues.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies; experience with developer tools (e.g., IDEs, compilers, debuggers) is a plus.
• High emotional intelligence with the ability to empathize with customer concerns and maintain professionalism in high-pressure situations.
• Proven adaptability in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and evolving technologies.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a strong focus on delivering outstanding customer experiences.
• Demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
• A proactive mindset and passion for identifying solutions, improving processes, and exceeding customer expectations.
