Customer Support Specialist

We are looking for a growth oriented Customer Support Specialist to be the primary first-line source of knowledge and support for all users at our partner schools and districts across the country, as they transition their critical processes online and build operational capacity for their organizations.

This is an exciting, fast-paced role. You will be on the front lines handling all inbound support requests and representing an innovative new brand, while also working closely with the rest of the customer impact team and our sales, product, and marketing teams to develop strategies that ensure success for all users. We strive to be thought leaders in the K-12 education technology sector and we are excited to define best practices for the entire industry, with your help.

We need someone who will:

  • Serve as the first line of support for all inbound requests (calls, chats and emails) from users across all of the schools and districts that we work with.
  • Troubleshoot product and process-related issues and drive them to resolution, escalating issues to other team members or the engineering team when needed.
  • Continuously define, document and improve Informed K12’s support processes and best practices, alongside team leadership.
  • Obsess over systems and data integrity in order to enable product and process related analysis and learning across the company.
  • Assist the product team with quality assurance testing for new features, as needed.

What you'll bring:

  • Minimum 1 year of professional work experience; experience in a product support, training or customer service role preferred.
  • Motivated by helping and empowering others.
  • Demonstrated ability and inclination toward self-directed learning, balanced with a commitment to constant team collaboration and problem solving.
  • Demonstrated ability to jump right in and master technical concepts and systems quickly.
  • Proactive, entrepreneurial style, eager to take initiative in a fast-paced, dynamic environment — you know when and how to find the right information when you need it.
  • Strong judgment and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion.
  • Positive attitude - naturally enthusiastic, you stay optimistic even when the going gets tough.
  • Technical competence to manage web-based troubleshooting, helpdesk software, and online collaboration tools; Zendesk experience is a plus.
  • Proven capacity to problem solve quickly and prioritize “quick wins” over perfection.
  • Clear and concise communicator — the ability to boil down product and engineering jargon into simple and concise customer communications.
