Product Knowledge & Continuous Improvement
• Stay current on KeyedIn releases, feature changes, known issues, and system updates.
• Advise customers on the product's proper use, best practices, and configuration guidance.

• Understanding of identity and access management concepts (SSO, OAuth, RBAC, SAML).
• Knowledge of the Planview product ecosystem, particularly KeyedIn or other PPM solutions.
• Relevant technology certifications (Microsoft, AWS, ITIL, or similar).
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Actively participates in team meetings and seeks out collaboration opportunities without always waiting to be prompted.
• Seeks feedback from colleagues and peers and integrates that feedback into their approach and work quality.
