The Company
Your first 90 days:
Geckoboard is a software company that helps businesses put data at the heart of their culture and decision-making.
We believe it shouldn't be complicated or expensive for businesses to access their data or visualize it so everyone can understand what's going on. But with most other solutions available – it is, and we aim to level this playing field.
Founded in 2010, over 5,000 customers now subscribe to Geckoboard because our dashboarding tools are affordable, easy to use, and can genuinely change how a team benefits from their data.
And that’s no accident. Our solutions are popular because they’ve been developed and are supported by a talented team of people who genuinely care about the product and customer experience.
The RoleAs one of our Customer Support Specialists, you will be the helping hand that our users count on, combining your love of technology with your love of helping people. To your teammates, you will be the pulse of our users, a customer expert, always ensuring their voices are heard.
Our small but mighty, Customer Success team is spread across the globe, helping to support our customers 24 hours, 5 days a week. Through your conversations with our users, you’ll understand their needs and concerns and anticipate future questions. From guiding them on how to do something or good dashboard design to making recommendations on what features will help them get the most out of Geckoboard for their teams.
You will cultivate a mastery of our product, helping users wherever they need it: email, forums, Twitter, Facebook, live chat, etc., using primarily Zendesk and Intercom, but also Zoom from time to time. You'll also help keep our knowledge base up to date so that we share your insights with the rest of the team and our customers. And your curious nature will find you investigating bugs.
Most of all, as our Customer Support Specialist, you’ll relish every opportunity to inspire, delight, and exceed our customer's expectations. So much so that they share their experience with others!

We have ambitious plans to grow the company, but we will only get there by building a great product that customers love, not by taking on unsustainable amounts of funding and giving up control over our destiny.
