Overview

Pingboard is looking for an empathetic, curious, and driven Customer Support Specialist to join our expanding Customer Experience Team.

At Pingboard, we believe that transparency builds trust, and trust propels teams. Pingboard gives employees access to essential information about people, teams, and their company. We’re a small, close-knit team that believes in quality over hours worked, and that work should be full of interesting challenges, stimulating conversations, and friendly people.

This position is part of our Customer Experience Team and is available to remote applicants in the U.S. or locals near us in Austin, Texas. Due to the pandemic, our company is currently distributed and intends to remain so until we can ensure our employees would be safe and feel comfortable returning. Pingboard is committed to building an inclusive team with diverse backgrounds and life experiences. We encourage people from groups that are underrepresented in tech to apply!

Job Description

The Customer Support Team focuses on customer education, advocacy, internal knowledge sharing, and is a huge contributor to customer acquisition, expansion, and retention.

  • Use your technical skills (don’t worry, we’ll train you) to investigate and resolve customer problems, or escalate trickier issues to our technical team
  • Learn all there is to know about Pingboard’s plans and pricing to answer and resolve common billing questions and issues
  • Identify growth and expansion opportunities for new and existing customers and escalate them to our Customer Success team
  • Share your knowledge by contributing educational and troubleshooting materials (support articles, video guides) to our customer-facing help center and internal knowledge base
  • Propose and champion solutions to common pain points
