Most of our teams currently operate with a hybrid model, with some people working full- or part-time from the office, and some from home. We value and prioritize collaboration across mediums and spaces, and we invest in ensuring that meetings and other forms of collaboration are set up with equal access regardless of where you work.

Our ideal hire believes in the transformative power of great support and genuinely enjoys helping others. As a Member Support Specialist, you'll work at the heart of our organization using your troubleshooting skills to help readers and listeners.
Responsibilities include:
- Providing frontline support. The majority of your day will be spent helping ebook and audiobook readers via email and other channels.
- Developing product expertise. You'll become an expert in all things BookBub and Chirp! On a daily basis, you'll troubleshoot potential issues, document feature requests, share feedback, and help members get the most out of our products.
- Creating documentation. When you're not working directly with members, you'll use your product expertise and support skills to create help resources, moderate our community, and contribute to other projects focused on a great overall customer experience.
- Advocating for our members. You'll be the main point of contact for our members. Other teams will rely on you as the voice of our members and expect you to proactively share their feedback.
- Love solving problems and have incredible communication skills. If you get excited by a tricky problem or new challenge and you're constantly finding better ways to explain complex technical processes to people of all skill levels, we'd love to hear from you!
- Have experience providing amazing customer service (not necessarily in tech support). No matter the situation, you always communicate with empathy and self-awareness. You don't believe in lost causes, and you go out of your way to help those in need.
- Be resourceful and make the success of your team a priority. Your default is helping others and you're motivated to see projects through from start to finish. If something needs doing, you do it. You're excited to work as a team so we can win as a team.
- Thrive in an environment where you learn something new every day. You're comfortable with uncertainty and embrace these moments as opportunities to grow by learning from those around you.
- Be a skilled writer and fluent in technology: you write and speak in English with ease, and value prose that is simple, clear, and engaging. You enjoy trying out the latest technology and you're a quick study when it comes to new software and tech.
We offer competitive benefit options including medical, dental, vision, 401k, generous paid parental leave, and take-what-you-need paid time off.
