Job Purpose:
As the Platform Support Analyst at Railbookers Group, you will support users of our Salesforce-based reservation platform (Kaptio) and investigate escalated issues across departments. You will assess their business impact, identify underlying causes, route confirmed defects to the appropriate team, and keep affected users informed. You will also test bug fixes, enhancements, and system updates against actual workflows. In support of platform projects and releases, you will gather requirements, track tickets and dependencies, and coordinate with internal teams and development partners. You will also troubleshoot and fix data issues, work with vendors on bugs, train teams on new features and projects, and manage the enhancements backlog in Jira. Your organizational skills and ability to work across departments will help deliver improvements that make the platform more reliable and effective for the business.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- User Support, Escalations, and Issue Triage
- Provide day-to-day support to platform users, answer process and system questions, and investigate issues reported by Sales, Operations, and other teams.
- Assess the urgency and business impact of escalated issues, gather examples and steps to reproduce, identify available workarounds, and communicate status to affected teams.
- Distinguish system defects from training, process, or data issues; route confirmed bugs to the appropriate internal or external development track and follow them through resolution.
- Log, track and escalate issues and bugs with platform vendors and development partners; provide clear reproduction steps and evidence, and follow up through to resolution.
- Investigate and fix data issues in Salesforce (for example incorrect bookings, mismatched, missing or duplicate records) using reports, list views and data tools, and escalate root causes so issues don't recur.

- Testing and System Quality
- Test bug fixes, enhancement tickets, and system updates in the test environment against documented requirements and real user workflows.

- Help verify production changes after deployment and escalate unexpected behavior promptly.
- Project Management with Enhancement and Release Coordination
- Help gather user requirements, clarify expected behavior, and document examples for proposed platform improvements.
- Maintain ticket status, dependencies, priorities, and next steps; coordinate with internal and external teams, and other development partners to keep work moving.
- Manage the Jira board for platform enhancements: create and groom tickets, keep priorities, statuses and dependencies up to date, and report on progress.
- Assist with release planning, readiness, deployment communications, and follow-up on issues identified during rollout.
- Prepare concise progress updates, testing summaries, and issue reports for the Director of Platform Enhancements and stakeholders
- Documentation, Training and Continuous Improvement
- Create and maintain user guidance, support notes, and process documentation for new features, fixes, and common issues.
