Technical Support Specialist
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 Technical Support Specialist to join our Technical Support Team. This role will be responsible for providing accurate, empathetic, on-brand help to keep the needs of Grammarly customers at the forefront of every interaction. The Technical Support Specialist will also work closely with key Support and Product teams to resolve unique issues, scale support capabilities, and meet our SLAs. This role will include assisting with various product-related issues, including planning, installation, training, and troubleshooting. We are looking for a highly motivated, goal-oriented individual who excels in problem-solving and collaboration efforts and will be an integral liaison between the Engineering and Support teams.
