Job Summary

Knowledge Systems Manager

Were looking for a technically capable Knowledge Systems Manager to build, administer and evolve our knowledge management ecosystem on Zendesk. This is a hands-on role: you'll build tools and apps directly on the platform, work alongside engineers on integrations and UX, and take ownership of authentication and API-level troubleshooting, while also maintaining the knowledge base and the documentation that keeps it useful. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering and Support to make self-service, search and AI-assisted knowledge experiences genuinely work.

Responsibilities

Zendesk Platform Development

- Design, build and maintain custom applications on Zendesk App Builder (eg dashboards, content management tooling, publishing workflows).

- Own configuration of Zendesk Guide: themes, article templates, content presentation and publishing workflows.

- Work directly with developers/engineers on Zendesk UX and UI translating requirements into technical specs and reviewing implementation.

- Support and extend AI and automation features within Zendesk.

APIs, Authentication Integrations

- Build and maintain integrations between Zendesk and other enterprise systems (eg Zendesk API with Microsoft Teams, for querying the knowledge base directly from Teams).

- Work confidently with APIs: authentication, requests, troubleshooting failures end-to-end.

- Understand and troubleshoot OAuth, SSO and SAML authentication patterns, including recurring cross-brand/cross-tenant auth issues.

- Partner with platform administrators and developers on new integrations and system enhancements.

Knowledge Base Management Content

- Maintain the day-to-day health of the knowledge base, applying the information architecture, taxonomy and content standards set by the Knowledge Director.

- Create and maintain user-facing documentation for product features, workflows and releases.





- Support knowledge strategy and self-service initiatives set by the Knowledge Systems Director; surface opportunities and risks from day-to-day platform work.

AI-Powered Knowledge Management

- Use AI tools to accelerate content creation, maintenance and knowledge discovery, within the agent/pipeline architecture set by the wider team.

- Optimise knowledge content for AI retrieval and generative AI / agent experiences.

Analytics Insights

- Analyse knowledge base usage, search behaviour and content performance to find gaps and improvement opportunities.

- Produce regular reporting to feed into the wider knowledge strategy and roadmap.

Required Skills Experience Essential

- Solid hands-on experience with Zendesk Guide/App Builder or a comparable platform, including custom app development and day-to-day configuration.

- Working knowledge of APIs and authentication concepts (OAuth, SSO, SAML) with the ability to troubleshoot integration issues independently.

- Experience delivering integrations between a knowledge/support platform and other enterprise systems.

- Experience creating technical documentation and user-facing guidance.

- Comfortable working directly with engineers on technical requirements, UX/UI, and implementation.

- Experience using AI tools for content or workflow purposes.

- Strong stakeholder management and written communication skills.

- Ability to analyse data and turn it into concrete improvement recommendations.
