Company & Team Overview

Planview's mission is to build the digital future of connected work — empowering business, technology, and transformation leaders to accelerate the achievement of the project and product initiatives that matter most. As the leading end-to-end platform for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) and Software Product Delivery, Planview's AI-powered solutions give leaders the strategic foresight to prioritize with precision, accelerate value delivery, and adapt with confidence.


Headquarters in Austin, Texas, with over 1,500 employees worldwide, Planview serves more than 3,000 customers and 3.1 million users globally, including 45 of the Fortune 100.


The Support Operations team is at the heart of Planview's customer experience, ensuring that enterprises around the world get the most value from Planview's industry-leading platform. As Planview expands its AI-first portfolio through continued innovation and acquisition, the Support Operations team plays a critical role in delivering consistent, high-quality technical assistance across a growing suite of solutions.


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. Success is measured by case resolution quality, SLA performance, customer satisfaction, and case hygiene.


Key Responsibilities

Customer Support & Case Management

•   Act as the first point of contact for KeyedIn Customer Care customers seeking technical assistance, providing troubleshooting and support via the ticketing system, email, and web-based tools.

•   Accurately log all customer cases, interactions, and resolutions in the case management system (Salesforce).

•   Take a hands-on approach, managing issues from initial contact through final resolution and follow-up, and maintaining full accountability throughout the support lifecycle.

•   Prioritize cases according to severity and SLA commitments, ensuring timely and accurate responses.

•   Maintain case hygiene — accurate status, ownership, and next action — with no-silent-case discipline.


Technical Troubleshooting & Resolution

•   Handle standard KeyedIn administration and configuration requests — support-portal accounts, licence-count updates, user provisioning and termination, login-group publishing, and access/login issues.

•   Resolve standard reporting, widget, dashboard, and how-to cases; assist with routine data export and data-load requests.

•   Investigate root causes, guide customers through corrective steps, and document solutions in the Customer Success Center knowledge base.

•   Escalate complex or defect cases to higher-level engineers or Development with clear reproduction steps and environment details; route Cloud Operations and Development-owned work to the correct team without owning it.

•   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.

•   Contribute to technical notes and knowledge base articles in the Customer Success Center.

•   Collect and communicate customer feedback, recurring issues, and product-quality insights to improve product quality and support processes.


Collaboration & Mentoring

•   Mentor Associate Technical Support Engineers, sharing knowledge and best practices.

•   Build relationships with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Development, Cloud Operations, Product, and Customer value advisor.

•   Function independently as well as part of a cross-functional global team.

•   As needed, participate in on-call or skeleton crew rotation.


Required Qualifications

•   Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve technical issues in enterprise software or SaaS environments.

•   Experience using ticketing or case management systems (e.g., Salesforce, Jira, Zendesk, or similar).

•   Proven ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and meeting SLA commitments.

•   Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional global team.

•   Experience using ticketing or case management systems (e.g., Salesforce, Jira, Zendesk, Dynamics 365, or similar).

 

Preferred Qualifications

•   Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

•   Familiarity with SaaS application support models and multi-tenant environments.

•   Experience with enterprise databases and SQL querying (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or MySQL).

•   Exposure to REST or SOAP APIs and tools such as Postman or cURL.

•   Practical familiarity with PPM concepts — projects, resources, timesheets, dashboards, reporting/widgets, and custom entities.

•   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

•   Willing to accept and adapt to change, showing flexibility and recovering relatively quickly from setbacks.

•   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.

•   Displays a willingness to develop conflict-resolution skills and facilitate productive discussions with customers and colleagues.

•   Keeps a calm, professional demeanor across a variety of clients and personalities, even when others in the support process may not.

•   Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and organized, with the ability to begin prioritizing work independently.

•   A logical, process-oriented thinker who is positive, proactive, and innovative — a creative problem solver with exceptional customer service skills.

•   Committed to continuous learning, with intellectual curiosity to expand product and technical knowledge and the ability to learn new concepts quickly.

•   Comfortable engaging with AI-assisted tools to accelerate research, issue diagnosis, and knowledge base contributions.


Technical Skillset (Product-Specific)

Experience Required: 1–3 years.

Must Have

•   API — Experience with Postman or similar tools to test APIs, validate responses, and troubleshoot API failures; understanding of REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes, and request/response flows for troubleshooting integrations.

•   Analytical & Communication Skills — Strong problem-solving ability with the capacity to translate technical findings into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical stakeholders.

•   Power BI (basic) — able to read dashboards and reports, understand how filters and slicers change results, and recognize whether a reporting issue is a data, refresh, or configuration problem.


Nice to Have

•   PPM Application Support — Practical familiarity with projects, resources, timesheets, dashboards, reporting/widgets, and custom entities.

•   Reporting & Data — Comfort with report/widget configuration concepts, filters, and data validation.

•   Data Loads & Exports — Ability to handle imports/exports, MS Project imports, and bulk field uploads.
