What's the role?

We are looking for a Customer Support Consultant to lead resolution of complex customer support issues across our Modern Campus customer base.

• Take ownership of customer projects, working with Development, QA, Implementation, and Product teams to coordinate resolution and communication.

• Thoroughly document all relevant case information in Zendesk and contribute to knowledge base articles and internal documentation.

• Integrate AI and modern tooling into support execution where it adds real value (ticket triage, draft responses, knowledge surfacing) and share practical applications with the team.

• Contribute to the transition of customers from implementation to live production support.

• Participate in the product development feedback loop, surfacing customer-reported issues and patterns to product management.

What you offer...

• 4+ years of customer-facing technical or software support experience, ideally in a SaaS or enterprise software environment.

• Understanding build, deployment and release management concepts, includng release versions, deployment windows, environment differences, and basic post-deployment validation.

• Familiarity with XML or JSON based web services, HTML, and CSS.

• Experience working with support tooling (Zendesk, JIRA, knowledge base platforms) and the typical workflows used in customer support delivery.

• Demonstrated ability to apply AI tools to support work and share practical applications with teammates.

• Experience mentoring newer consultants and contributing to support process or template improvements.

• Strong analytical thinking, written communication, and the ability to translate complex customer situations into clear language for stakeholders.
