Lead Client Success Specialist

Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We're on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We're moms and dads and pet parents. We have parents and grandparents, so we understand that everyone, at some point in their lives, could use a helping hand. Our culture and our products reflect that.

Here, entrepreneurs, self-starters, team players, and big thinkers unite behind a common cause. Here, we're applying data analytics, AI, and the latest technologies to solve universal problems and connect people in new ways. If you like having autonomy, if you thrive on collaboration and building new things, and if you're all about using your talent for good, Care.com is the place for you.

As the Client Success team’s most senior individual contributor, you’re the go-to expert for our most complex, high-stakes issues. You’ll apply everything you’ve mastered across the Client Success toolkit to three areas where mistakes are costly: supporting the Connect platform, solving technical problems without developer help, and building the evidence we submit to defend payment disputes. You’ll also coach the rest of the team.

Connect platform support

• Be the team’s subject-matter expert on Connect accounts, including setup, verification, payouts, and restrictions
• Use Stripe access to investigate account and transaction activity and turn findings into clear next steps
• Flag recurring platform issues with well-documented evidence

Independent troubleshooting

• Diagnose and resolve complex issues without relying on developers: reproduce the problem, isolate the cause, test a fix, document the result
• When engineering is needed, escalate through JIRA with clear reproduction steps, impact, and evidence
• Turn what you learn into knowledge-base articles and team guidance

Disputes and evidence

• Own the dispute process, from researching the case to submitting rebuttal evidence
• Handle sensitive personal, financial, and communication records with precision and discretion, sharing only what is necessary and following all privacy and compliance standards

Core responsibilities

• Comfort with payment platforms and account systems, and the persistence to find root causes
• Sound judgment to make decisions without a developer or manager to lean on
• Meticulous attention to detail and discretion with confidential information
