- Troubleshoot mapping issues related to coordinate systems, file formats, map service configuration, and data quality.
- Collaborate with Implementation, Customer Experience, and Product teams to ensure successful map deployment.
- Maintain internal documentation related to GIS configurations, standards, and best practices.
- Assist in developing and refining processes to scale GIS support across our growing customer base.
- Partner with Product to help shape future GIS capabilities within the KorTerra platform.
