About Our Client

Our client provides a cloud-based native Salesforce application for SMS and WhatsApp communications, along with expert Salesforce implementation services, to a diverse range of clients, including global education organizations, nonprofits, social ventures, foundations, international development organizations, and commercial businesses. The organization's user-friendly products and robust functionality, combined with a dedicated team, have earned the loyalty of clients worldwide. This is a close-knit, high-trust team dedicated to accelerating clients' global success.

About The Role

The Technical Support Specialist role is critical to the overall success of the organization, its clients, and its business partners. This role will be the first line of defense for clients experiencing technical issues with the organization's products, the SMS & WhatsApp application. There will also be the opportunity to deepen knowledge of Salesforce administration, configuration, and other products on the AppExchange. This role is a great fit for someone who is curious, a quick learner, and solution-focused when it comes to client needs.

Core values of the organization include:

Empathy: A powerful characteristic that’s about being in tune, seeing, knowing, and understanding others while also relating as a human in a tech-minded world. Listen. Ask questions. Offer tactful solutions. Instead of serving one's own interests, the focus is on serving others.

Hustle & Tenacity: Action-oriented and happiest in motion. Pride is taken in delivering exceptional experiences for clients & partners. In the midst of adversity or challenges, the team does not quit, but holds to a vision and eliminates barriers to find resolution & make things happen.

Twinkle in your Eye: This represents hidden energy, emotion, or humor – the excitement of having a particular idea before putting it into action. It's about knowing something about something and being excited to share that knowledge.

Proactive: The aim is for a no-surprises policy that builds trust by outlining next steps early and often, identifying patterns, and courageously communicating. A little extra effort up front saves a big effort later on. Proactivity is a generous and conscientious act.

Growth Minded: Continually evolving, creating, beautifully curious, and willing to step outside comfort zones. Unwilling to settle for how things are, there is always a search for ways to engage more effectively and efficiently. Navigating a growing and dynamic business is easiest with a growth mindset.
