The Role

As an Advanced Product Support Specialist (Level 3), you will serve as a technical authority within Cornerstone's Global Customer Support organization, providing deep product expertise to resolve our most complex technical challenges and improve the overall effectiveness of our support teams.
Working in a collaborative, AI-enabled support environment, you will leverage advanced troubleshooting capabilities, AI-powered insights, and strong partnerships with Engineering and Product teams to identify root causes, resolve critical issues, and proactively address emerging customer challenges. Rather than managing a traditional case queue, you will focus on the most complex, high-risk, and aging cases where your expertise can make the greatest impact.
You will also play a critical role in developing technical capabilities across the team, strengthening product knowledge, and ensuring our customers receive exceptional support that builds confidence, drives engagement, and maximizes the value of their Cornerstone solutions.

In This Role You Will...

Serve as the technical authority for your assigned product area, proactively identifying and taking ownership of the most complex, high-risk, and aging support cases to drive timely and effective resolution.
Lead advanced technical investigations, performing in-depth root-cause analysis to identify underlying product defects, configuration challenges, and integration issues.
Partner closely with Engineering and Product teams to validate defects, ensure accurate reproduction steps, and support prioritization and resolution through established defect management processes, including OneList.
Leverage AI-powered tools, customer sentiment insights, and support analytics to identify recurring issues, improve troubleshooting effectiveness, and proactively address opportunities to enhance the customer experience.
Own technical knowledge development for your product area, identifying knowledge base gaps, contributing to certification content, and leading technical deep-dive sessions to strengthen team capabilities.
Mentor and coach Level 2 support specialists, using case quality insights and Level AI performance data to identify development opportunities and improve technical problem-solving across the team.
Provide technical expertise on critical customer escalations, partnering with escalation management teams, including DEEP, to validate solutions and ensure accurate, effective resolution.
Partner directly with the Pod Director to identify technical risks, improve support processes, and strengthen overall pod performance, including case aging, backlog health, defect quality, and customer satisfaction.
