Zendesk Consultant

We're looking for a Zendesk Administrator to manage and support Zendesk instances for our client. This role requires someone who can independently own the platform's day-to-day administration while working closely with a client team, so strong communication skills and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset are just as important as technical expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer, configure, and maintain Zendesk instances, including Support, Guide, Talk, and Chat modules as applicable
• Set up and manage triggers, automations, macros, views, SLAs, and business rules
• Manage user roles, permissions, groups, and organizations within Zendesk
• Configure and maintain workflows across email, chat, and other support channels
• Handle integrations with third-party tools via APIs, apps, and webhooks
• Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and coordinate with Zendesk support for outages or technical escalations
• Build and maintain reports and dashboards to track ticket trends, agent performance, and SLA compliance
• Maintain and update the knowledge base for internal and customer-facing use
• Perform regular audits of the Zendesk setup and recommend improvements
• Document processes, configurations, and standard operating procedures
• Support platform upgrades, new feature rollouts, and change management
• Act as the point of contact for Zendesk-related queries from stakeholders
  
  

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• 4 - 5 years of hands-on experience administering Zendesk.
• Solid understanding of ticketing workflows, SLAs, and helpdesk operations
• Experience with API/app integrations and webhooks
• Strong analytical skills with experience in Zendesk Explore or similar reporting tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to interact confidently and clearly with client stakeholders
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and adapt quickly to changing requirements
• Comfortable working in a client-facing capacity with minimal supervision
• Zendesk certification(s) is a plus
  
  

Good to Have

• Prior experience supporting international clients
• Experience with Jira or other ITSM tools
