What's the opportunity? 

With the advent of AI, the nature of customer support has changed dramatically - as have the humans who provide it. Our next Technical Support Specialist will be someone who thrives in autonomy, is deeply curious, fluent in AI tools and holds an extremely high bar not just for themselves, but for their teammates.

As a Technical Support Specialist, you'll own complex technical queries around some of our most nuanced features, serve as a point of escalation for your colleagues for the most tricky investigations, consistently provide world class customer support, collaborate with our customers proactively to help them make the most of our platform and help drive improvements in product, processes, and peer development. You'll use AI tools alongside your own expertise to handle complex cases efficiently and play a role in shaping a culture of continuous improvement. We ship product updates consistently, so if constant learning excites and energises you, this environment will suit you well!

If this is the kind of role that excites you, then we want you as our next Technical Support Specialist.

  • Becoming an encyclopedia of knowledge about how Intercom works and what it is capable of.
  • Being the one responsible, along with the Support team, to ensure that all customers have a great experience with the product - a crucial part of the role is ensuring we make the product as easy to use, reliable, bug-free, and fast as possible.
  • Working directly with product teams to identify current issues and, synthesizing the diverse feedback you hear from our customers, offer informed opinions on potential solutions.
  • Debugging complex issues with an understanding of both our own codebase and the many technologies employed by our customers.
  • Utilizing inherited and learned technical knowledge to build tools that will help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the team and its processes.
