Full Job Description
That's Nice, But What's the Job?

In short, as a Senior Product, Systems Specialist you will own complex operational and system issues from intake through permanent resolution while serving as a subject matter expert across a multi-platform ecosystem. This role goes beyond ticket execution-you will lead incident response, partner cross-functionally and with vendors, and drive process and system improvements that increase team throughput and reliability.

In long, as the Senior Product, Systems Specialist, you will be responsible for:
  • Owning high-impact, complex support issues end-to-end, from intake through full and permanent resolution
  • Acting as an escalation point for complex, ambiguous, or high-risk tickets
  • Driving root-cause analysis and implementing preventative fixes rather than short-term workarounds
  • Managing multiple concurrent priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Serve as first-line systems operator across PCMI, Genesys, Twilio, Pega, Salesforce, Website, and other platforms
  • Investigating issues across multiple business systems to identify root causes and cross-system dependencies
  • Configuring and optimizing platforms to resolve problems and improve workflows
  • Supporting system releases, configuration changes, and feature rollouts
  • Leading triage and resolution of critical operational incidents
  • Partnering directly with vendors during escalations and driving issues to closure
  • Communicating status, risks, and timelines clearly to stakeholders across the business
  • Identifying workflow gaps and proposing or implementing scalable process improvements
  • Increasing team throughput, efficiency, and documentation quality
  • Building and maintaining knowledge base content and repeatable solutions
  • Contributing to operational best practices and support standards
  • Influencing cross-functional stakeholders and setting clear expectations


So What Kind of Folks Are We Looking For?
  • People who demonstrate strong ownership and can operate independently without waiting for direction
  • Curious problem-solvers who are comfortable navigating ambiguity and complex systems
  • Professionals who can influence stakeholders and drive work across teams and vendors
  • Clear communicators who set expectations well and translate complex issues for varied audiences
  • Process-minded operators who look for ways to improve how work gets done
  • Natural mentors who enjoy supporting teammates and raising the bar for the team
  • Calm, resilient individuals who perform well during incidents and high-pressure situations


The Specifics
  • 3+ years of experience in operations, product support, systems support, or similar roles
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, IT, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex tickets, incidents, or operational workflows
  • Experience working across multiple business systems and tools
  • Hands-on experience with ticketing systems such as Jira, Zendesk, or ServiceNow
  • Strong understanding of troubleshooting concepts, web applications, and data flow
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines


Nice to Have
  • Experience working directly with vendors on system or product escalations
  • SQL or data query experience


So What About the Perks? Perks matter
  • We take a hybrid work approach, finding balance between the benefits of in-person and work-from-home environments. This position has an on-site expectation of a minimum of three days a week.
  • Medical, dental, and vision, oh my! DriveTime Family of Brands covers a sizable amount of insurance premiums to ensure our employees receive top-tier healthcare coverage.
  • But Wait, There's More. 401(K), Company paid life insurance policy, short and long-term disability coverage to name a few.
  • Growth Opportunities. You grow, I grow, we all grow! But seriously, DriveTime Family of Brands is committed to providing its employees with every opportunity to grow professionally with roughly over 1,000 employees promoted year over year.
  • Tuition Reimbursement. We're as passionate about your professional development as you are. With that, we'll put our money where our mouth is.
  • Wellness Program. Health is wealth! This program includes self-guided coaching and journeys, cash incentives and discounts on your medical premiums through engaging in fun activities!
  • Gratitude is Green. We offer competitive pay across the organization, because, well... money matters!
  • In-House Gym. We want our employees to be the best versions of themselves. So come early, take a break in your day or finish strong with a workout!
  • Give Us a Reason (or not), and We'll Celebrate. Regardless of whether there is a holiday or not, we are finding ways to kick back and enjoy each other's company outside of day-to-day work.
  • Smart-Casual Dress. Come dressed in jeans (you'll fit right in with the rest of us).
  • Paid Time Off. Not just lip service: we work hard, to play hard! Paid time off includes (for all full-time roles) wellness days, holidays, and good ole' fashioned YOU time! For our Part-timers, don't fear you get some time too...vacation time is available - the more you work, the more you earn!


Anything Else? Absolutely.

And when it comes to hiring, we don't just look for the right person for the job, we seek out the right person for DriveTime. Buckle up for plenty of opportunities to grow in a professional, fun, and high-energy environment!
