We are looking for a full-time Customer Success Specialist on a US timeline, based in California (must be a Californian resident for tax purposes) to work from 7am to 3pm Friday to Tuesday.

We’re after someone who will be like a dog with a bone when it comes to troubleshooting, who is passionate about knowing every facet of Paperform’s Product, and gets a huge kick out of working with Excel-style calculations (check out our “Calculation” feature for context!). This is a super nerdy role. Above all, we need a candidate who is able to build a rapport with our user-base and carries on our solid reputation for excellent customer support.

Day to day, you’ll be supporting our users, improving and creating educational resources, working closely with our Product and Growth Teams, and contributing ideas to innovate our approach to support.

There will be significant ongoing opportunities to learn and grow with the company as you work closely with our Customer Success Lead, as well as the Cofounders as we continue to scale Paperform. This role lends itself to progression into tech and product work. We’ll help you to achieve your goals by supporting you, and welcome innovative ideas you bring to the table.

An ideal candidate will be self-motivated, take initiative and ownership of their responsibilities, and be extremely competent in solving problems without needing to be micromanaged. Working as part of a remote team you will be expected to be able to communicate clearly with the team over a variety of different mediums (video calls, Asana, Slack etc.), be comfortable with raising issues or questions along the way, and providing insights.

Responsibilities:

• Conducting live chats with users and leads: answering and troubleshooting, assigning/escalating tickets, and being the face of Paperform.
• Reviewing, editing, and creating resources (help docs, templates etc.).
• Reporting on customer feedback, feature requests, and anything else support related.
• You’ll work on cross-functional projects with Tech/Product, Growth, and Operations.

• We give each of our Customer Success Team “project time” to work on an area of the business they have an interest in, including opportunities to work with Tech on product dev and debugging.
