The Role
As a part-time, remote customer support representative, you will have the chance to deliver exceptional support to SegMetrics customers.
SegMetrics is a relatively technical product, allowing companies to track their marketing spend on various channels to determine which have provided the best return on investment.
Currently, the CEO is providing 100% of support to their customers, taking away from his the ability to focus on growing the company in more strategic ways. As part of a close-knit team in a fast-paced, remote-first startup, you’ll play a key role in keeping our current customers happy and meeting the demands of potential and future customers as we move into our next phase of growth.
Responsibilities
Within a few weeks, you will be the primary person interacting with customers and making sure things are running as smoothly as possible. You will have two main responsibilities:
- Reviewing and responding to tickets
- During downtime, updating our documentation to make it easier for customers to find answers before they reach out.
- Based on the feedback from the customers, suggesting ways to make the product and support system better.
Your first few weeks
- We will create a test account for you so you can start using the product to reproduce issues that customers may have.
- Instead of taking weeks to test out the product in isolation, it might be more effective by just starting to work slowly through new tickets and try to resolve them yourself as you implement a test account. The CEO will give you as much direction on resolving the tickets as needed to get you up to speed. You will be able to interact with the customers on day one!
- After a few weeks, you will have fewer questions on the more common and simpler questions but still require assistance for the more complicated questions.
- As you become faster at answering questions, hopefully, you will have more breathing room to help make the support system better. For example, this could mean updating or writing new documentation at https://docs.segmetrics.io/ to make answers easier to find.
