About the role

Do you enjoy guiding users to the right solutions? Do you find investigating tricky issues satisfying? Have you ever been told you explain solutions clearly and can do so in writing too? Do you prefer to work on the weekend,so you have the trails all for yourself during the week? If the answers are ‘yes,’ we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for an outstanding Customer Support Manager to join our easy-going but incredibly efficient support team. You’ll assist our users with questions and technical problems, help them get the most out of the product, and work on projects to improve the customer support experience. You’ll often be our customer’s first point of contact and will also represent their voices internally. After all, the happiness and satisfaction of our users have always been central to our mission — you and the team play a crucial role in how our users perceive us.

What you will do

• Support our users via email as well as answer their questions on all channels (tickets, forums, App Store reviews)
• Understand what users want, organize their ideas, and write adequate help documentation for them
• Identify and address common user queries and concerns by analyzing user feedback and data and implementing strategies to improve the customer experience
• Work with cross-functional teams to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our customer support processes by identifying and implementing process improvements and automation opportunities
• Handle technically complex and/or escalated cases
• Work with developers and QA to find and solve critical bugs in the wild
• Support our Freelancers with user requests on the weekend. You’ll still be working on a regular 5-day week but will be able to take your two days off between Monday to Friday.

Why you will love it

• You’ll work with outdoor fans and help them to have great experiences
• You’ll be the voice and the ear for our users and have a significant impact on our community
• You’ll work on a truly inspiring product that brings real-life value to our users and empowers them to explore more of the great outdoors
• Your expert knowledge will make you a key player in a highly motivated and talented team. You’ll feel challenged to learn and excel in your domain continuously
• You’ll improve a product that we’re pretty sure you’ll end up using for your outdoor adventures
• This is a remote role in a fully remote team. You are free to work from anywhere that lies between the time zones UTC-1 and UTC+3. A beach, the mountains, or a co-working space (covered by us)…
• You’ll travel with us (when covid restrictions allow) for team gatherings in amazing locations several times a year. You can check out this playlist to find out more about how we stay close while being remote. (http://bit.ly/39xtIrn)

• You’re an excellent written communicator, enjoy producing help documentation, and can win frustrated users over with your excellent writing skills

• You know how to identify and report bugs, and you can break down technically complex problems into simple explanations
• You are happy to work during the weekend. In total you’d be working ~75% of the weekends. During the summer months from April-September you’ll be working four weekends per month, during the winter months it will be two weekends per month. If you prefer to always work on weekends, that’s possible too!
• Proven track record of improving customer satisfaction and reducing contact rate
