  • Identify recurring ticket drivers and share actionable feedback with Finance, Engineering, Product, and Support leadership to reduce volume and improve customer outcomes.

Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience in customer support, billing operations, revenue operations, customer success, account management, or a similar customer-facing operational role.

  • Familiarity with subscription billing platforms such as Stripe, Chargebee, or similar.

  • Familiarity with ticketing and customer support systems such as Zendesk, Pylon, Intercom, or similar.

  • Excellent written communication and customer judgment, especially when handling sensitive or high-stakes billing issues.

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage billing-related work accurately across multiple systems and workflows.

  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage a high volume of concurrent tickets and escalations.

  • Ability to triage ambiguous customer issues, identify the right next step, and drive resolution with urgency and ownership.

  • Comfort working across support, billing, CRM, and internal admin tools; able to learn new systems quickly and maintain accuracy across workflows.

  • Interest in AI, developer tools, and the future of software engineering.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with refunds, credits, failed charges, disputes, proration, renewals, and other subscription billing concepts.

  • Experience writing help center articles, internal documentation, macros, or operational runbooks.

  • Experience identifying recurring operational issues and improving processes, tooling, or customer-facing guidance to reduce future ticket volume.
