Formstack improves people’s lives with practical solutions to their everyday work. We are looking for the next Stacker to help us accomplish this mission.
Formstack is a remote-first company with team members who live and work across the U.S., Canada, and the globe. We offer more than just a job; we provide a community where you can learn, grow, and thrive your way. Join a dynamic and diverse team that values relationships as much as results. Come build what matters with Formstack.

James Allen, Director of Customer Support at Formstack, is looking to hire someone who will complement and strengthen the team.

Who You Are:
  • You are able to explain and help others understand the problem and solution.
  • You’re an exceptional communicator who can gracefully break down, solve, and explain even the most complex problems.
  • You are always curious to learn more - you might not know all of the answers, but you're eager to find them.
  • You are well-versed in software and not fearful of new technology, a hard worker who gets things done, and you have the ability to switch gears quickly, and adjust your priorities and focus appropriately.
What You’ll Do:
The Customer Support Specialist will be among the first line of communication for our current, future, and even previous customers. This person will predominantly be handling new support tickets via email, as well as escalated tickets from Tier 1. There will also be days where the CSS will handle phone consult requests(after passing training). In between tickets, this person may also be asked to provide assistance to our internal customers via the internal-support Slack channel, case follow-up, or create/update collateral for new product releases.

As a team, we actively communicate customer needs within the organization to reduce friction points for customers. Support Specialists will learn and develop skills to collaborate cross-functionally in the interest of customer advocacy and proactive support. This role will be essential in helping our company keep customer needs front and center.

How You'll Succeed

    • Learn the ins and outs of our Formstack products and services.
    • Be the primary point-person for incoming support requests via email, chat, and/or scheduled phone support.
    • Work in a fast-paced environment and be able to meet or exceed our set Customer Inbound quotas.
    • Create written and/or video documentation and keep these up-to-date.
    • Think of new and creative ways to solve customer issues.
    • Participate in product development by sharing customer feedback and your unique perspective as a Formstack expert.
    • Work closely with our Sales Teams to answer questions, provide feedback, and assist in finding use-case solutions.
    • Handle escalated Tier 1 support tickets.

    • 2-3 years of Customer Support/Service background
    • Typing skills (50wpm minimum)
    • Proactive
    • Resourceful
    • Able to work successfully with minimal oversight
