  • Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of technical support analysts, providing guidance and support to achieve team goals.
  • Process Documentation: Document processes, solutions, and best practices to facilitate knowledge sharing and improve team efficiency. Ensure that documentation is up to date and accessible to team members.
  • Technical Communication: Collaborate with engineers to investigate and resolve platform issues. Facilitate technical communication between the support team and engineering/product groups to ultimately improve the product.

We Are a Match Because You Have:

  • Solid customer-facing and communications skills, to both technical and non-technical stakeholders; enjoy working with people.
  • Ability to translate business needs into technical requirements using our in-house platform.

Preferred Skills:

  • Knowledge of dashboard, metrics, monitoring, and logging technologies (e.g.: Grafana, DataStudio, DataDog, ELK/Kibana, Looker)
  • Experience with Email/Mobile Marketing, Advertising Technology, or CRM systems
  • Familiarity with HTML and CSS

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:
