We strive to go above and beyond when it comes to support.ABOUT YOUYou are calm and collected. You enjoy helping and talking to people. You realize that customers may ask you about the same issues repeatedly. You know that things can go really wrong sometimes and are able to deal with “fires” without losing your cool.You’re self-managed and very well organized. You know that you will be joining an early-stage startup and that will require wearing multiple hats while not losing track of the bigger picture. HOW WE CURRENTLY DO SUPPORTOur first line of support is our support email address. All support emails come into Help Scout into a shared queue. We also provide in-app live chat that customers can use to get support.For more passive support, we actively maintain a knowledge base.
