Description

Why UKG: At UKG, the work you do matters. The code you ship, the decisions you make, and the care you show a customer all add up to real impact. Today, tens of millions of workers start and end their days with our workforce operating platform. Helping people get paid, grow in their careers, and shape the future of their industries. That’s what we do. We never stop learning. We never stop challenging the norm. We push for better, and we celebrate the wins along the way. Here, you’ll get flexibility that’s real, benefits you can count on, and a team that succeeds together. Because at UKG, your work matters—and so do you. As an Escalation Manager (EM) in the UKG Customer Support organization, working directly with a customer, or with a variety of internal constituencies, you will assume ownership of complex and escalated customer issues for our HCM/SaaS, On-Premises Workforce Management products, and services. Your role is not a technical one. The ability to interact effectively with technical resources from both customer and internal UKG teams, and to break down complex technical problems into more easily understandable terms is critical. You will deliver on our promise of Partner for Life by quarterbacking the resolution of escalations through cross-functional relationships that accelerate resolution and mitigate future escalations. You will work with technical resources and key internal stakeholders and oversee the management of escalated issues to closure. As an EM, you will be expected to handle multiple escalations at any time – depending on the scope and intensity of each situation – as well as other special projects. Your role may require working directly with a customer or with technical resources from customer teams as needed. A successful EM has strong project management, organizational, and communications skills. A senior level of problem-solving experience that supports an ability to assess each situation on its own merits and to vary the approach and method of engagement accordingly is required. A successful EM has the ability/flexibility to handle unusual or “out-of-the-box” scenarios that may not follow familiar patterns or structures. Qualifications: • Minimum of 5 years professional experience with direct Customer Management or Account Support Management required • Ability to develop collaborative relationships with internal partners and customers at all levels and proven track record of working collaboratively to improve the customer experience • Demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills while working with diverse audiences including highly technical IT professionals, developers, and architects • Ability to navigate complex issues and create collaborative, cross-functional solutions • Proficient communication, presentation, and relationship management skills • Ability to coordinate efforts between the various functional teams, bringing the appropriate resources to bear on an escalated issue while often influencing without authority. • Strong attention to detail – leading conference calls, maintaining issues lists and action items, as well as setting appropriate expectations in escalated situations. • Must be well organized, flexible, and able to work multiple customer accounts in a fast-paced, time-sensitive environment • Working knowledge of Human Resources and Payroll systems is a plus • Knowledge of CRM tools, preferably Salesforce, MS-Office, and Reporting tools Company Overview: UKG is the Workforce Operating Platform that puts workforce understanding to work.
