Job Summary

As a Technical Support Associate, you’ll join our CX Support team. You’ll be responsible for answering inbound communications (calls, chats, and emails) and will work directly with our customers (who we call “merchants”, the employees/small business owners) to troubleshoot issues with their point-of-sale (“POS”) systems, credit card readers, and related hardware, including network equipment, printers, barcode scanners, and cash drawers. Often you won’t be able to see or touch the hardware, so you’ll have to rely on the merchant and your communication skills to guide them to success. But you’ll have more than just your wits at your disposal (although a surplus of wit is needed for this job). With our trusty knowledge base by your side, our stalwart team at your back, and the license to hunt down any information we may be missing, you won’t lack for guidance.

Responsibilities

• Remotely help customers via email, SMS and over the phone to solve various types of in-store technology problems, including: Wi-Fi connectivity; hardware and software issues; credit card terminal processing and POS integration; secured and unsecured networks; Bluetooth devices and cabled printers; with a knowledge around Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) navigation and download.
• Troubleshoot mobile POS network issues which include tablet and printer connectivity with cabled and wireless LAN and WAN devices.
• Answer “how to” quick-fix questions about supported devices.
• Take ownership of customer issues through to resolution or escalation while providing accurate and prompt feedback both to the customer and teammates.
• Maintain a high percentage of issue resolution within the first customer interaction.
• Document all interactions in our CXM software clearly and concisely.

Skills & Experience

Flexibility in the face of change, perseverance in the face of adversity, irreverence in the face of cookie cutter business practices. This is a startup environment that pairs the perk of freedom with the burden of chaotic hard work. You’ll need resiliency to thrive with both. Ability to think on your feet. You are comfortable not knowing the answer but knowing you have the tools to find out. Ability to learn and adapt quickly. We are an ever-growing company, and you will continue to learn far outside of your training period, often quite rapidly. Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask and prioritize in a high-volume, fast paced environment. Comfortable speaking on the phone and able to display sincere empathy regardless of the attitude of the caller. Acts with integrity and transparency. Self-effacing with a great sense of humor, a team player.
