Support Lead (Social Media)
Grammarly offers a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members can work primarily remotely. Starting in 2022, teams will meet in person every quarter in one of Grammarly’s hubs, currently in San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, and Kyiv. To ensure that teams are able to overlap in their working hours and to meet face-to-face when needed, all team members need to live within three time zones of their direct team.
The opportunity
Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment.
To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for a Support Lead to join our Social Support team in Vancouver. This person will work closely with the Customer Support Manager to help scale our social support capabilities and later lead a small social support team. They will also work cross-functionally and create delightful customer experiences across public-facing channels—from Instagram to app store reviews. Their empathetic interactions with Grammarly users will reinforce Grammarly’s mission and values by addressing user needs with care and attention.
The first six to twelve months in the role will be as a Customer Support Specialist, allowing the Support Lead to become familiar with our tools and processes and grow as an expert individual contributor. After at least twelve months in the role and having demonstrated exceptional performance, this person will eventually lead a small team of Social Support Specialists.
