Customer Advocate (Remote- US Based)

Job Summary 

We're looking for our next Customer Advocate to join our team! If you're looking for meaningful work alongside a great team, love technology and interacting with customers, please continue reading! Preference will be given to candidates with experience supporting customers in a SaaS environment. If you are passionate about customer success and looking to grow your career in a company that is customer-driven and places as high a value on customer relationships, this role is for you. Candidates must be flexible to work an 8-hour shift between the hours of 9:30 AM and 8:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

Responsibilities 

As a Customer Advocate, your role is to:

• Coach our customers on how to best use the software for their business' needs. You'll work out of a shared queue of phone calls, emails, and live chats, with a priority on phone support.
• Help customers to grow and manage their practices; offer creative solutions for their unique business needs and communicate what you learn to the rest of the team to improve our software.
• Help practice owners determine which subscription level is best for their business and clearly explain the benefits of using our software to grow their client base.
• Own your work and ensure it's of the highest quality by checking it against our shared standards for excellence.
• Contribute to our growing knowledge base of tutorials and help documentation.
• Utilize a variety of MS Team channels for collaborating on unique cases with the rest of the Advocate team.
• Escalate complex issues to our Senior Advocate Team.
• Rely on your expert product knowledge to distinguish between bugs, requests for improvement, and areas of confusion for customers.
• Share knowledge with the team, rally around shared team goals, and celebrate wins along the way.
• You are a great listener, and you keep your cool in stressful situations. You are willing to stay on the phone longer than might be necessary. If someone is frustrated, you don’t escalate with them. You remain in control while building rapport through your kind nature and willingness to understand another’s perspective.
• You have an admirable level of empathy that is innate to who you are as a person, not just on the job. You genuinely desire to help others and learn from their experiences. You keep things personable, while not taking customer frustrations personally.
• You adapt to changes quickly. This is a fast-moving software company that releases significant product changes every three weeks. You take the initiative to master the product and are prepared to help a customer navigate changes that affect them. If a critical bug is disrupting Support, you don’t freak out. You adjust your routine to better serve the customer while ensuring our team stays focused and on-task together.
• You take initiative and don’t wait to be told exactly how to do something or respond. We trust our team to do what is in the best interest of the customer, and you are often the source of determining what is best. Your hands aren’t tied just because you don’t see it in writing.
• You go above and beyond what the customer is asking and anticipate what they might want to know next. You take note of what features they are using incorrectly and coach them on features they could be using to grow their business and revenue.
• You are a natural problem-solver. You don't have to see things in black and white. You not only love the challenge of ambiguity, you thrive on it. You think critically, can quickly spot trends that are not always visible on the surface, and take what you learn from one support case and apply it to the next. You document your findings along the way in our Help Center.
