- Choose 8 national holidays that make sense to your country.
Requirements

- Preferably have used Intercom (or similar customer support software) before.
- You should be able to listen to a business problem and offer a solution using our software.

- The hours are 7am - 3pm (PHT) - You will be trained for the first 3 months with a senior member of the team during the hours of 4pm - 11pm (PHT) Monday - Friday. As your knowledge and confidence progresses, you’ll be eased into your working shift over-time.
- This isn’t initially required or common but you should be comfortable talking to customers on Zoom once your product knowledge is sufficient.
