About Our Client

This Series B-funded startup is pioneering a remote-friendly user research platform to streamline product development. Operating in 35+ countries, the company is backed by top investors and aims to empower teams to integrate user insights throughout the product lifecycle. Its platform enables researchers, designers, and product managers to quickly recruit participants, conduct autonomous research, and analyze insights for impactful decision-making. By providing actionable user insights at the speed of development, the platform helps companies build better products faster and focus on meaningful, high-value questions.

Why Our Client Needs You

This role is open only to candidates located in the Pacific Time Zone within the U.S. and Canada. The **Customer Advocate** is part of the Level 1 Support team, serving as the main contact for customer inquiries. Responsibilities include addressing questions about account management, partner integrations, and the product via various channels (email, Help Center, in-app, phone, and social media). The advocate will work with the Level 2 Support team to resolve, refer, or escalate requests and manage internal support questions on Slack, as well as customer feedback. When not handling tickets, they may work on documentation, creating macros, or other projects to support customers and staff.

- Adhere to established support processes and procedures to maintain consistency in customer interactions and issue resolution.

- Escalate qualified issues to other departments within the organization.

- Develop, author, and maintain internal and customer-facing product or process documentation.

- Comfort following logical troubleshooting steps and escalating issues as necessary.

- Basic understanding of computer systems, software applications, and hardware components.

- At least 2 years of experience with modern ticketing, customer engagement, and CMS solutions within customer service environments (e.g., Zendesk, Help Scout).

Why This Company is Unique

- **Market disruption:** The organization believes the current product-building methods are flawed, and the user research sector is ready for transformation. Historically, companies have faced a dilemma between rapid development without user insights or spending excessive time on research prior to launching products. A significant shift is underway, and this company is at the forefront.

- **Product-market Fit:** This platform is utilized by over 100,000 brands across 4,000 companies, ranging from SMBs to enterprises. In the last fiscal year, they facilitated 6.5 million questions answered, supporting 25,000 decisions.
