Job Description

This includes working directly with customer data during migrations and imports, helping ensure a smooth transition onto the Promenade platform.
Technical Support serves as a subject matter expert across the Promenade software suite, helping distinguish between bugs, feature gaps, configuration issues, and process breakdowns while driving issues through to resolution.
