This role helps project delivery teams use these platforms consistently and effectively, improving supportability, user confidence, business value, and return on investment. The ideal candidate is a strong collaborator and clear communicator who brings a high customer-service mindset, positive attitude, and practical execution focus. This person is comfortable working across teams, translating platform capabilities into business-ready guidance, reducing friction for users, and helping the organization realize greater value from its approved design platforms.

Create practical guidance, playbooks, FAQs, and adoption materials that help users understand what is available, when to use it, how to get support, and how to apply platform capabilities consistently. Partner with Quality/QMS stakeholders to align platform workflows with QA/QC practices, artifact validation, auditability expectations, and project delivery standards. Maintain a customer-focused intake, triage, and escalation model for support needs, adoption barriers, enhancement requests, integration questions, and recurring user pain points. Collaborate with platform owners, IT, vendors, and business stakeholders to resolve issues, reduce support friction, clarify ownership, and improve the overall user experience. Define and track meaningful measures of adoption, maturity, platform health, user satisfaction, support trends, training participation, business impact, and return on investment. Prepare concise leadership reporting that highlights adoption progress, maturity improvements, support needs, risks, barriers, decisions required, and opportunities to increase value from supported platforms. Preferred Qualifications Experience supporting, enabling, or governing enterprise platforms in a quality-sensitive, project delivery, technology, engineering, or professional services environment. Demonstrated capability in change management, adoption planning, training development, stakeholder communications, and user enablement. Working knowledge of governance concepts such as data handling, access coordination, risk assessment, policy alignment, operational guardrails, and escalation models. Practical, can-do approach to problem solving with the ability to help teams adopt and use platforms effectively. Experience with one or more design technology ecosystems, such as Autodesk, Bentley, Bluebeam, Newforma, Trimble, Viktor.ai, or similar technologies.
