Role Summary
Technical Support Engineer I provides first-level technical support for Planview KeyedIn (enterprise PPM) Customer Care customers and internal employees, serving as the primary point of contact for a defined set of accounts and cases. In this role, you will independently resolve standard cases across user and license administration, project and resource management, reporting, data operations, and integration workflows, while investigating root causes and documenting durable solutions.
You will escalate complex or defect cases appropriately — acting as a liaison between customers and the Development and Cloud Operations teams — and guide customers on the product's proper use and best practices. As you grow, you will take on increasingly complex problems end-to-end and mentor Associate Technical Support Engineers, contributing to a high-performing, collaborative team.

• Follow the team's call-escalation discipline — move prolonged email threads to a call at the defined threshold to speed resolution.
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
