About the Role

Are you energized by providing an excellent customer experience and sharing your knowledge to help people solve their problems? We’re looking for a Product Support Specialist to join our Support team at Thinkific.

We live by our Mantra ‘Serve the individual’, which emphasizes understanding and addressing the unique needs, challenges, and goals of each customer.

In this omni-channel role, you will be a key driver for delivering on our vision across all communication channels. You will work directly with our customers—from self-serve to our highest-value Premium creators—through live chat, email, and scheduled phone/screen-share calls. You will role model best-in-class support, identify process improvements, and uphold our standards of excellence while helping each learning business extract the most value from our product to fuel their success.

Schedule:

Hours: 9am-5pm PST

•
Utilize opportunities for product adoption and plan upgrades (e.g., Thinkific Plus and Branded Mobile).

•
Spot early churn signals and collaborate with Support and Customer Success teams to retain and grow customers.

•
Manage and own complex customer escalations with sound judgment and calm professionalism.

1. Continuously Improve How We Work

•
Champion and embrace an AI-enabled support workflow by leveraging internal AI tools and automation to increase efficiency, streamline ticket resolutions, and enhance the overall customer experience.

•
Identify workflow inefficiencies surfaced through chat, email and call patterns and propose actionable improvements.

•
Create and update training materials, macros, and knowledge-base (Guru) documentation to enable your peers.

•
Participate in feedback loops with Product, QA, and Enablement teams to share customer insights.

•
Lead or assist with strategic projects to level up our operations and strategic enablement.

The Person We Have in Mind Likely:

•
Brings 2+ years in an online customer-facing role (ideally in SaaS) with a proven ability to manage multiple communication channels simultaneously.

•
Communicates complex ideas simply, explaining technical concepts in a way that empowers customers to feel capable and confident using Thinkific.

•
Demonstrates technical curiosity and resourcefulness, troubleshooting across browsers, integrations, and app environments.

•
Uses tools such as Zendesk, AI-supported Co-Pilot tools, Slack, Asana, and Google Workspace with ease, and adapts quickly to new systems.

•
Diagnoses multi-system issues, identifying configuration conflicts, integration errors, or setup challenges that require investigation and collaboration with Technical Support or Product.

•
Thinks critically under pressure and makes sound, timely decisions in a fast-moving live chat environment.

•
Acts as a trusted peer and knowledge sharer, supporting team learning, surfacing common pain points, and suggesting improvements to tools, workflows, and automations.

•
Demonstrates emotional intelligence and professionalism, especially when supporting strategic or escalated customers.

•
Embraces a growth mindset, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance both their craft and the overall customer experience.

•
Thrives in a collaborative, metrics-driven environment where feedback is welcomed and actioned.

•
Provides rotating weekend or holiday coverage to ensure consistent, global support.

These Things Would Also Be Nice:

Basic understanding of HTML/CSS, APIs, Webhooks, or SSO.

•
Experience with domain hosting and custom domain setup.

•
Familiarity with Stripe payment processing.
