Design Support Specialist | Remote at Appcues

Appcues is looking for a Customer Design Support Specialist to join our team! We're building a team of driven, focused people who want to make a meaningful impact helping our customers build something their customers will love. You'll be empowered to put customers first on a daily basis. Support is more than just spending your time hammering away at a queue-it's proactively making help even easier to come by, and anticipating the needs and questions of our customers before they have them.

Most of your time will be spent doing things like designing user experiences which seamlessly integrate with customer applications, customizing a customer's Appcues theme with CSS, consulting on best practices for user experiences, or fixing broken CSS selectors to get a flow live before a tight deadline. That being said, every person on the support team spends 20% of their time out of the queue working on initiatives and projects to help propel our support strategy into the future, and you will be no different. You will become an essential voice for our mission. You'll drive happiness for customers and our audience at large both in and out of the inbox.

This position is fully remote with operating hours of 8am - 5pm EST.

Your responsibilities will include:

Talking to customers a lot! You’ll be helping our customers (most often software product teams and engineers) troubleshoot complex issues with excellent email, and occasional video chat support
Debugging issues with styling and design, specifically custom CSS.
Consult on design strategies so customers can delivery amazing looking content to their users.
Write and maintain clear, helpful user and design documentation as the product evolves
Empowering other members of the team to success by owning design related escalations and being willing to work together through problems.
Assist our Customer Success and Sales teams by providing design demonstrations, presentations, trainings, consultations and internal support services as needed.

You may be a great fit if:

You're willing to commit to working a minimum of two years on our support team upgrading processes, helping our customers, and implementing new functionality to help our customers be even better.
You have 2+ years of relevant Professional Services/Solutions/Sales/Support experience for a cloud-based software company. You're technically astute and have a foundational understanding of web frameworks (i.e. React, Angular, etc), and a strong eye for what makes content look amazing!
You are comfortable offering suggestions on how our customers can improve the look of their content to encourage user engagement.
You have experience working at a remote-first company and are comfortable working remotely.
You like empowering users with the knowledge to do things for themselves in the future, not just fixing things for them.
You love collaboration. You want to work with members of the support team and teams outside of support to do what's right for the company and the customer.
You're excited to gain a deeper understanding of how our software and integrations work. Our customers use different web/mobile technologies and you are hungry to understand how they work and how Appcues can work with them.
You're an A+ listener and communicator. You can synthesize feedback and be the voice of the customer to help your teammates become better marketers, designers, builders and more. You'll also be eager to spend your days speaking with customers on the phone, via email, and through chat.
You're ardent about figuring things out and comfortable being uncomfortable. Our team is small, but we'll give you the autonomy to help build better processes and continually improve.
You're driven and goal-oriented. With so much freedom and autonomy, it can be difficult to stay focused. Striving towards the prize on the day-to-day is what aligns us as a company.
More than anything else, you are empathetic and have a genuine desire to help other people. Culture fit and drive to help are more important than experience.

We have inclusive remote events and, after COVID times, will get together twice a year for a fun off-site retreat.
