ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Customer Support Specialist, you are the front line of the customer experience. When something isn’t working, you are the person our customers reach — and how that goes shapes whether they trust the platform.

You’ll manage support tickets, troubleshoot over the phone, configure and prepare new units for deployment, and work across teams to get issues resolved. You’ll partner closely with Customer Success, Technical Support, Product, and Operations so customers get the help they need to realize the full value of WatchDog.

This role suits someone who likes solving problems, is comfortable learning technical systems, and takes ownership of an issue through to resolution rather than passing it along.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• The customer support experience, from first contact through to resolution:
• Customer ticket management and case ownership
• Inbound phone troubleshooting and technical support
• Device setup and deployment preparation
• Escalation management and issue coordination
• Customer communication and follow-up
• Knowledge base and documentation updates
• Support process improvement initiatives

• Provide clear communication and regular updates throughout the resolution process.

Device Configuration & Setup

• Configure WatchDog units prior to shipment and deployment.
• Verify device settings, customer information, and deployment requirements.
• Assist with device replacements and RMA coordination as required.

Escalation & Resolution Coordination

• Escalate complex technical issues to Tier 2 Support, Engineering, or Product.
• Track escalated issues and keep customers updated on progress.
• Facilitate collaboration across departments to drive timely resolution.
• Ensure issues are documented and transitioned with complete information, so nobody picks up an issue cold.

Customer Communication & Relationship Building

• Deliver professional, responsive, customer-focused service.
• Build trust and confidence through effective communication.
• Follow up proactively to confirm resolution and customer satisfaction.
• Gather feedback and identify opportunities to improve the support experience.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Maintain detailed records of support activity and customer interactions.
• Contribute to knowledge base articles, troubleshooting guides, and support documentation.
• Share recurring issues and emerging trends with internal teams.
• Support process improvements that increase support efficiency and customer satisfaction.

• Collaborate with Customer Success, Operations, Product, and Technical Support.
• Contribute to a positive, team-oriented culture focused on customer success.
