The Ro le

This role is part of Power Factors' Customer Support organization. You will work in the ticket queue daily, owning and resolving complex customer issues — but you'll do it with a level of technical depth and consultative engagement that goes well beyond traditional support. As a Customer Solution Consultant, you'll intake customer issues, investigate and resolve technical problems on the Unity APM platform, and serve as an escalation resource for our global Support team on APM-related tickets. You'll sit alongside the engineers who build Unity APM in our Montreal office or Boston office, giving you direct access to the people and knowledge needed to solve the hardest customer challenges. The difference between this role and traditional support is how you work: every customer interaction is an opportunity to diagnose the root cause, not just resolve the symptom. You'll bring technical curiosity and problem-solving rigor to the support queue while ensuring tickets move efficiently and customers experience fast, knowledgeable engagemen t.
