Customer Success Specialist

Who We're Looking For:

We are looking to add a hardworking CSS with a consistently positive attitude to our support team, who can be relied upon to handle Level 1 customer support for our customers. Our support team primarily lives out of Intercom and Zendesk, where we solve Level 1 chats and tickets and promptly escalate more complex inquiries to our Level 2 Technical Support team.

The ideal candidate for this position is a self-starter with consistent work ethic, especially when nobody is watching. The ideal candidate for this position also demonstrates strong interpersonal skills, patience and optimism, good technical skills/instincts, and the ability to learn our tech/product relatively independently and quickly.
