Why it's important that you are based/living in Eastern Standard Time or Central Time:
- Because it makes it easier to collaborate with team members in Europe.
- We're a global team, with team members living in USA, Brazil, UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and South Africa.
- We've already hired a fantastic "counter-part" in customer support in Ireland. By working some hours together, the role be more fun, we can support more timezones together and our customers will get better service.

Criteria for a successful candidate:
- A clear, friendly, upbeat, fluent-English writing style.
- Shows initiative; a self-starter with a proactive, positive attitude.
- Can self-educate; we work remotely and you’ll need to be able to spend some time learning on your own. But still be able to speak up and ask for help, clarification or support when needed.
- A curious mind that naturally troubleshoots problems with a knack for arriving at solutions and workarounds.
- Single-minded about calming chaos, setting up and following good processes to deliver consistently great work.
- Willing to challenge the status quo in order to make LearnCube better (you're not complacent and when you think something can be done better, you speak up).
- Tech-savvy and some familiarity with software tools - we use Intercom, Asana, GSuite, Slack daily (among others).
- You'd connect with our customers more if you've come from a teaching or tutoring background, so please highlight this in your application. We view this as really important.

- Do you have a passion for education?

- Can you demonstrate strong skills in customer support and care, understanding how to work with people and getting them the help they need?
