You'll be responsible for turning customer problems into customer success. Trade businesses rely on client to run their day, so when something isn't working, you're the person who makes it right, fast.

Stay current with emerging tools relevant to support and customer success; share observations and suggestions with the Customer Support Lead on what could improve team efficiency or reduce contact volume. Produce and maintain Help Centre content (articles, videos, and product images) that reduces contact volume and empowers customers to self-serve.
