About The Role As Fora continues to scale its global advisor community and expand its product offerings, the volume and complexity of support inquiries are increasing. The Support Operations Specialist, Fora X is a newly created role focused on delivering a distinct, high‑touch support experience for Fora’s highest‑value advisors. This segment represents a meaningful share of company revenue and requires a thoughtful, responsive, and operationally strong approach to support. This role sits within the Support team and reports to the Support Operations Lead. It partners closely with cross‑functional teams including Advisor Experience, Finance, Product Operations, and the broader Support organization.
