The Customer Support Associate is the entry point into TicketManager's on-shore Customer Support organization and is focused on building the foundational product knowledge, customer-service skills, and judgment needed to grow within the team. As a frontline partner to our customers, you will primarily support general and non-paid support accounts by resolving day-to-day questions across the TicketManager platform, ticketing, and guest management. You'll communicate directly with customers through phone, Zoom, email, and chat, with an emphasis on live communication whenever it can resolve an issue faster and create a better customer experience. You'll troubleshoot common issues, conduct customer trainings, maintain accurate case documentation, and learn how to identify and execute the appropriate escalation path for more complex needs. Through hands-on experience, ongoing training, and shadowing experienced teammates, you'll develop the skills needed to independently handle an increasingly complex range of customer needs and advance within the Customer Support organization.
