A product support specialist acts as a liaison between different departments in a company and their customers. In this role, you work to inform both current and prospective customers about the products that your company offers. Typically, you specialize in a specific area, such as technical support or software, working to ensure everything functions as intended or addressing user issues that do arise. In some positions, you may also play a sales role. Your job duties as a product support specialist may include creating instruction manuals, answering phones in a call center, offering technical support for products, identifying the cause of bugs or problems, installing hardware and other equipment, and collaborating with various departments to create promotional activities. You may sometimes travel to a customer’s house for installations, but you conduct most troubleshooting support over the phone.
