About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated, and skilled technical problem-solver to add to our global support team. We are looking to fill one remote position to work hours aligned to 9-5 pm PT (with some flexibility + 1 or 2 hrs), with a Sunday - Thursday schedule.
As a Support Specialist, you will be working to help thousands of merchants with their technical questions, supporting them with their loyalty programs with Smile. This role is high-volume, 1:many. Most days will be spent interacting directly with merchants through live chat and email. You will also work with our development team as needed to escalate and assist in solving merchant issues. Along with the rest of the team you will contribute to our merchant Help Docs and internal documentation to improve our self-serve resources.

- You work well in situations that require creative problem solving, good judgment, and you can improvise with ambiguous or limited information.

- You have a clear, personable, and empathetic communication style and are comfortable translating technical or difficult concepts into user-friendly explanations for our merchants.
