Role purpose

• Keep Portico production integration escalations moving by acting as the coordination layer between Production Support and Development.

• Run merchant-facing operational support for Portico beta releases, including feedback collection, data gathering, and issue intake/coordination.

Key responsibilities

1) Beta program coordination and merchant POC

• Serve as the primary point of contact for beta merchants for:

  • General beta support questions

  • Issue reporting and triage intake

  • Coordinating next steps and expectations

• Conduct outreach calls with beta merchants to:

  • Collect qualitative feedback on usability, performance, and pain points

  • Confirm test completion and validate outcomes

  • Capture “what happened / when / impact / repro” in a consistent format

• Collect and organize beta data/artifacts needed for analysis and escalation:

  • Transaction examples, timestamps, device/app versions, environment details, logs as available

• Maintain beta issue log and track:

  • Severity, frequency, impacted merchants, current mitigation/workarounds, owner, next checkpoint

• Coordinate beta cadence:

  • Kickoff, office hours, weekly status, release notes/known issues updates, exit-criteria tracking

2) Production Integration Escalations (PIE) coordination (middle-man role)

• Act as the coordination bridge between Production Support and Developers:

  • Ensure Production Support provides required evidence (examples, timestamps, response codes, environment)

  • Ensure Developers receive clean, actionable problem statements and can respond with findings/asks

• Manage escalation intake and triage logistics:

  • Confirm severity, impacted partners/merchants, scope, and current mitigation status

• Run escalation bridges / war rooms:

  • Scheduling, agenda, notes, action items, ownership, and due dates

• Provide consistent escalation communications:

  • Internal updates (Support, Eng, Product/Ops) and partner-facing updates where appropriate

  • Keep updates factual: current state, what’s being tested, next checkpoint, what’s needed from whom

• Drive closure discipline:

  • Confirm resolution validation with Production Support

  • Capture final summary, decisions, follow-ups, and documentation links

3) Tracking, reporting, and process discipline

• Maintain a single source of truth:

  • Escalation tracker, beta tracker, issue/action logs, decision log, contact lists

• Track dependencies and blockers across teams; escalate when items stall.

• Produce lightweight reporting:

  • Aging items, volume trends, top categories, and recurring issues (as defined by the team)

4) Documentation and enablement

• Maintain/update:

  • Beta runbooks, merchant call notes templates, escalation intake templates, and SOPs

• Ensure artifacts are complete and reusable for future events (repeatability).
