This role is primarily focused on customer support, product guidance, configuration assistance, troubleshooting, and issue ownership. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with web-based applications, communicating with customers in English, investigating issues independently, and escalating technical problems when deeper investigation is required.

Help customers understand and use product features, workflows, configurations, and modules.

Reproduce straightforward issues before escalating them.
Document tickets clearly with relevant details, screenshots, steps to reproduce, and supporting information.
Create Loom videos to explain product workflows or solutions when appropriate.
Join customer calls when required to understand or resolve issues.
Identify issues requiring deeper technical investigation and escalate them to Tier 2.
Communicate issue status, progress, and resolution clearly to customers.
Follow defined response, resolution, and escalation SLAs.
Maintain ticket and queue hygiene and ensure customers receive timely updates.
Contribute to help-center articles, FAQs, and internal knowledge-base documentation.
Support operational activities such as data quality checks, data enrichment, comment moderation, categorization, and data extraction when required.
Identify recurring customer issues and knowledge gaps and suggest improvements.
Work closely with Tier 2, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering teams.

Familiarity with support/ticketing platforms such as Zendesk, HubSpot, Jira, or similar tools.
Comfortable using Slack/Teams and remote collaboration tools.

Strong ownership and willingness to learn a complex product.
Good to Have: -
