Posted 3 years ago

You’re self-driven, great at running with ideas and executing them independently.


You’re resourceful: you figure out what needs to be done, and you find ways to make it happen.


You have a passion for problem-solving. Nothing gets you more excited than a tricky problem or a new challenge.


You work with a sense of urgency and know how to hustle.


Let’s talk.


Castos looking for an experienced Customer Support Specialist to join our team that is providing industry-leading assistance to our customers.


Castos and our Seriously Simple Podcasting WordPress plugin are a fast-growing podcasting platform.  We support our Castos web application and WordPress plugin via email and on-site chat so clear written communication and a good working knowledge of WordPress are required.


And being a podcaster yourself is not quite required, but highly encouraged.


At Castos, incredible Customer Support means more than just answering support tickets.  It means being the voice of our customers and relaying that voice to the product and development teams.  


An ideal applicant is self-driven, with a knack for digging deep into problems. They would have a sense of urgency and draw satisfaction from going above and beyond to provide solutions. You’ll help to find convergence in what customers need so that we can build the highest value product.
