    • Identify patterns in support conversations and flag recurring issues or opportunities for improvement

    • Maintain a helpful, professional tone across all customer touchpoints, even in tricky situations

    • Assist with side projects such as auditing user reports to help maintain platform integrity

    Required Skills and Experience

    • 1 to 3 years of experience in a customer support, customer success, or client facing role

    • Experience using a help desk or support platform (Intercom experience strongly preferred)

    • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to adjust tone for different audiences

    • Strong problem solving skills and sound judgment when handling ambiguous situations

    • Comfortable working in a fast paced environment and managing a high volume of conversations

    • Tech savvy fast learner with a track record of quickly picking up new software tools, workflows, and platform features, ideally gained in a tech or SaaS environment

    • Reliable, detail oriented, and able to work independently in a remote setting

    Preferred Soft Skills

    • A calm, patient, and empathetic approach to customer interactions

    • Curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding the "why" behind user pain points

    • Comfortable giving and receiving feedback in a collaborative team environment

    • Strong sense of ownership and follow through

    • Adaptability when priorities shift or new processes are introduced

    • A collaborative, upbeat attitude that contributes positively to team culture

    Why Qwoted

    At Qwoted, you'll be part of a small, mission driven team working to make storytelling more accessible and media more trustworthy. We value authenticity, community, and innovation that actually supports the people we serve. This is a fully remote role, so you can do great work from wherever you call home.

    We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
