Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Intercom Subject Matter Expert to support a global organisation in optimising its customer support platform and establishing effective, sustainable ways of working. With approximately 2,000 users across multiple companies, the organisation requires a hands-on specialist who understands how Intercom is structured, what it can do and how to configure it correctly from the outset.

You will act as the in-house Intercom authority, guiding teams on platform capabilities, advising on best practices and ensuring business requirements are translated into practical, maintainable configurations. Responsibilities will include optimising workflows and routing, improving Fin AI performance, maintaining data integrity, enforcing security and governance standards, and monitoring automation effectiveness.

Working closely with business analysts and operational stakeholders, you will help ensure the platform supports business needs without unnecessary customisation or complexity. You will also coach colleagues who are new to Intercom, building internal capability and ensuring knowledge is retained within the organisation.

This is an administration-led role focused on Intercom expertise, configuration, optimisation and governance. It is not a software development or solution architecture position.
