The Specialist will be responsible for providing advanced technical support for our B2B SaaS products, troubleshooting complex issues and managing them from issue identification to resolution, and using strong business empathy and communication skills to advise a diverse array of stakeholders—from Global 2000 shippers, to transportation and logistics companies across geographies and modes, to Mom-and-Pop trucking companies—on how to best use FourKites to accomplish their goals.

In addition to core support responsibilities, this role will serve as the Support Documentation Lead, owning the strategy, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the team's internal technical and process documentation. This includes identifying documentation gaps, coordinating cross-functional documentation projects, and ensuring internal support resources remain accurate, accessible, and aligned with product evolution.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with our Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Implementation, Network Growth, and other teams to understand, own, and solve problems
  • Engage with our Product Operations team and Support Documentation Lead to provide continuous feedback on gaps and opportunities for improvement with our technical documentation and customer-facing Knowledge Base articles
  • Escalate critical issues to senior technical teams with clear, concise problem statements
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, such as team meetings and 4Ls retrospectives, so that you can use your experience to make us a more efficient and effective team

Documentation Lead Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain the team's internal technical documentation library (troubleshooting guides, process documentation, technical references, etc.)
  • Identify, prioritize, and close internal documentation gaps based on support trends, team feedback, and product releases
  • Coordinate cross-functional documentation projects with Product Operations, Engineering, Product Management, and other stakeholders
  • Establish and maintain internal documentation standards, templates, and best practices for the support team
  • Train and enable team members on documentation contribution and maintenance processes
  • Track internal documentation effectiveness through team feedback and utilization patterns, continuously improving based on insights
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for internal documentation strategy and maintenance

General

  • Other duties as required

Desired Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience (Computer Science, Information Technology, Supply Chain Management, or related fields are preferred)
  • 2 years of technical support experience in software (preferably B2B SaaS applications and/or ERP systems) and/or transportation and logistics
  • Proven experience in log analysis and advanced troubleshooting techniques
  • Proven experience in roles requiring significant client-facing interaction and cross-functional collaboration
  • Experience creating, maintaining, or managing internal technical documentation (team wikis, internal knowledge bases, troubleshooting guides, process documentation, or similar)
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional projects or initiatives involving multiple stakeholders

Technical Skills

  • Proficiency with log management tools (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, SigNoz)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure)
  • Understanding of RESTful API interactions and related software (e.g., Postman)
  • Knowledge of supply chain management software principles (e.g., EDI transactions)
  • Beginner-to-intermediate SQL proficiency
  • Strong written communication skills with ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear internal documentation

Soft Skills

  • Exceptional problem-solving abilities
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to work effectively in ambiguous and rapidly changing environments
  • Patience and customer-centric approach to technical support
  • Adaptability and willingness to learn new technologies quickly
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for documentation management
  • Ability to influence without direct authority when coordinating cross-functional initiatives
  • English language fluency a must, Spanish and Portuguese fluency a plus
