      • Identify patterns in support conversations and flag recurring issues or opportunities for improvement

      • Maintain a helpful, professional tone across all customer touchpoints, even in tricky situations

      • Assist with side projects such as auditing user reports to help maintain platform integrity

    Required Skills and Experience

      • 1 to 3 years of experience in a customer support, customer success, or client facing role

      • Experience using a help desk or support platform (Intercom experience strongly preferred)

      • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to adjust tone for different audiences

      • Strong problem solving skills and sound judgment when handling ambiguous situations

      • Comfortable working in a fast paced environment and managing a high volume of conversations

      • Tech savvy fast learner with a track record of quickly picking up new software tools, workflows, and platform features, ideally gained in a tech or SaaS environment

      • Reliable, detail oriented, and able to work independently in a remote setting

    Preferred Soft Skills

      • A calm, patient, and empathetic approach to customer interactions

      • Curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding the "why" behind user pain points

      • Comfortable giving and receiving feedback in a collaborative team environment

      • Strong sense of ownership and follow through

      • Adaptability when priorities shift or new processes are introduced

      • A collaborative, upbeat attitude that contributes positively to team culture
