- You take ownership of tasks from start to finish and follow through without needing constant supervision.

- You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with different teams and stakeholders.
- You enjoy improving processes, creating practical systems, and finding ways to make day-to-day operations more efficient.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Investigate customer and operational issues by reviewing system information, configurations, data, and documentation to identify root causes and patterns.
- Maintain accurate operational and support data and contribute to the reporting backbone by tracking trends, identifying inconsistencies, and surfacing actionable insights.
- Document issues, resolutions, and recurring patterns while partnering with Customer Success, Engineering, and other teams to improve processes and support resources.
- Take ownership of problems from investigation through resolution, adapting to evolving systems and processes while helping build a reliable, scalable support and operations function.
- Respond to customer inquiries through Intercom, Pylon, email, and other support channels, resolving Tier 1 issues efficiently and professionally.
- Troubleshoot software, hardware, account, configuration, and connected-device issues, escalating more complex problems to the appropriate internal teams.
- Build strong knowledge of ReSpark’s software, customer workflows, and scrap metal recycling operations to effectively diagnose and resolve issues.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and attention-to-detail skills, with comfort working with spreadsheets, reporting, or operational data.
- At least 3+ years of experience in technical support, IT helpdesk, SaaS support, technical operations, or a related technical role.
- At least 1 year of experience working with a technology startup (ideally U.S. or Australia based)
- Prior work experience with Windows operating system, remote desktop software, and other software/IT programs such as Intercom.
- Exceptional proficiency in English (at least C2 level), with excellent written communication skills
- Highly responsive, self-directed, and comfortable prioritizing competing requests in a remote environment.
- Bachelor Degree or higher (summa, magna or cum laude and/or Academic Scholar from a reputable college preferred)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Familiarity with systems like Intercom, Pylon, and Google Sheets.
- Experience with reporting, dashboards, data quality, or operational analytics.
- Experience working with U.S.-based enterprise SaaS startups.
