Job description
About the role
In this role, support is not just about resolving tickets—it is about driving smarter commerce experiences. The Enterprise Support Specialist team helps merchants succeed every day by solving complex issues quickly, improving internal know-how, and turning merchant feedback into meaningful product and process improvements. You will work with AI-enabled tools, high-touch support scenarios, and evolving merchant needs to help shape how support scales globally.
This position sits at the point where merchant challenges, technical systems, and AI capabilities meet. Your work will influence how millions of businesses operate, while also helping build reusable knowledge and better solutions for the wider team.
Key responsibilities
- Provide high-quality, executive-grade support to merchants through chat, messaging, and phone.
- Work closely with teammates to exchange insights, share effective practices, and strengthen overall team capability.
- Communicate clearly and professionally in both written and spoken form at an executive level.
- Handle situations that are incomplete, conflicting, or politically sensitive with strong judgment and without relying on rigid scripts.
- Take ownership of uncertain, high-impact cases and drive them to the right outcome or handoff.
- Build confidence with technical systems and explain complex ideas in simple, practical language.
- Use AI tools to support problem-solving and to improve the knowledge base.
- Keep help content current and useful through a knowledge-centered service approach.
- Adapt to different products, workflows, and support channels as merchant needs change.
Qualifications
- Experience in premium support, technical customer support, technical account management, or closely related engineering-style support roles in demanding, high-touch environments such as enterprise B2B, SaaS platforms, payments, or commerce technology.
- Proven history of managing complex issues end to end, including cases with third parties, unclear scope, and executive attention, until they are resolved or handed over appropriately.
- Ability to learn technical concepts and tools quickly.
- Experience coaching, mentoring, or helping raise performance standards for peers.
- Strong troubleshooting skills; relevant certifications are considered an advantage.
- Practical experience using AI tools and enthusiasm for emerging technology.
- Strong executive communication skills with the ability to adjust tone and language for different audiences.
- Ability to ramp up quickly on new tools and processes.
- Willingness to work flexible schedules to support merchants around the clock.
- Working knowledge of web fundamentals such as HTTP, DNS, and SSL; API concepts like REST and GraphQL; and front-end basics including HTML, CSS, and templating is helpful. Experience reviewing logs or querying data to diagnose issues is a plus, but not essential.
