About You
Candidates with the following qualifications and experience are encouraged to apply:
- Tier 1-2 helpdesk experience — preferably in a SaaS product environment
- Customer service — since Customer Support Managers work directly with customers to solve end-user issues and answer questions, it's essential that you have strong customer service skills.
- Prior experience with chat / support software (Intercom, Zendesk, etc.) — by nature, Customer Support Managers perform their day-to-day tasks on a computer. You must be able to use various software programs to check in with and respond to our customers via live chat services, etc.
- Problem-solving skills — the ability to solve problems is just as integral to a Customer Support Manager's work as solid communication skills. When presented with a problem, Customer Support Managers must be able to find a solution quickly and efficiently, even if the customer is disgruntled or impatient.
- Excellent communication skills — must be able to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely while giving consultative advice to help customers grow their performance.
- A minimum of 3 to 5 years of industry experience in B2B SaaS businesses, accounting, professional services, training/education, or customer support.
- Prior experience and a passion for enabling businesses to grow and succeed.
- Ability to learn modern customer enablement SaaS and servicing tools to better understand, manage, and support our customers.
- Professional spoken and written English (fluency in other major languages is a plus).
