About the role

Lead System Administrator responsible for administering, operating, and continuously improving Harvey's Zendesk platform and the broader CX stack (Planhat, Sierra, and emerging platforms) across the full customer journey, with strong governance, documentation, and scalability.

Responsibilities

  • Administer Support, Guide, Explore, and AI features, and act as the internal Zendesk subject matter expert.
  • Design and maintain scalable workflows: routing, triggers, automations, forms and fields, taxonomy, SLAs, views, macros, and queues.
  • Manage the configuration lifecycle (planning, sandbox testing, deployment, documentation) with strong governance and traceability.
  • Manage vendor releases and platform changes, including the upcoming OAuth migration.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across workflows and integrations, and drive root-cause resolution.
  • Build Explore dashboards and support the data pipeline behind executive reporting on support performance and customer health.
  • Support and optimize adjacent CX and CS platforms, including Planhat for customer health, lifecycle, and renewal workflows and Sierra for AI-assisted support.
  • Evaluate, implement, and administer new CX platforms as the stack expands, applying the same configuration lifecycle, governance, and documentation standards used for Zendesk.
  • Work with Integrations, Data, and Security to connect systems in line with Harvey's security and compliance standards.
  • Manage intake and prioritization of enhancement requests and maintain a clear backlog.
  • Lead enhancement projects: define requirements and acceptance criteria, coordinate stakeholders, and communicate scope, risks, and schedule changes proactively.
  • Meet operational SLAs for platform support and configuration requests.
  • Join CX Operations planning and agent feedback forums, and work with agents on QA and user acceptance testing.
  • Provide training and enablement when needed, and maintain system design documentation.
  • Ship changes that are designed, tested, documented, and communicated, and bring firm recommendations with trade-offs rather than just problems.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years administering Zendesk in a high-volume, multi-team environment, with deep expertise in triggers, automations, routing, fields, forms, views, macros, and SLAs
  • Zendesk Administrator certification (Support Admin Expert or equivalent)
  • Experience with sandbox testing, controlled deployment, and change documentation
  • Experience building Zendesk integrations with CRM or adjacent systems via iPaaS (Workato preferred), APIs, or webhooks
  • Working knowledge of Salesforce as an integration partner (objects, field mapping, sync patterns)
  • Experience building reporting and dashboards in Zendesk Explore or a similar tool
  • Experience with Planhat, Gainsight, Catalyst, or similar, or a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new CX tools
  • Strong documentation habits, including runbooks and change records
  • Ability to translate operational workflows into scalable configurations and communicate with technical and non-technical partners
  • Ability to manage multiple initiatives independently
  • Fluency with AI tools (including Zendesk AI and general-purpose assistants) to build, automate, and troubleshoot

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
  • retirement benefits (401k match up to 4%)
  • flexible PTO
