If you have experience in Product Support for the automotive industry, then we may be looking for you.

What We Are Looking For:

MSX International is seeking a detail-oriented, organized, and analytical Product Operations Specialist to support the quality, operation, and continuous improvement of software products and client applications.

The Product Operations Specialist serves as a key operational and quality support partner to the Product Owner. The role prepares, organizes, investigates, documents, and validates product work to help the Product Owner make informed decisions and maintain delivery momentum.
