What the job involves

- As a Customer Support Specialist at Clerky, you will be the voice of the company to thousands of startup founders, investors, and attorneys

- These customers use Clerky to get critical legal paperwork done, often on a tight timeline. Our success is based on word-of-mouth, so we have a strong culture of providing world-class service (ask us about our satisfaction ratings!). We are rabidly customer-centric

- It’s a lot harder here. Helping our customers can be unusually challenging due to the nuanced and specialized nature of their questions

- Doing the job well can require a lot of iterative feedback,



so we're looking for someone who thinks critically about their writing and is always looking for ways to improve. Along the way, you'll also pick up a lot of knowledge about startups and startup law
- The challenges never stop. The level of learning and craftsmanship that goes into writing responses to our customers requires intense focus.

If you’re looking for the kind of position where you can easily master all the information at the beginning and work in a way that does not require intense focus, this position will probably not be a good fit for you

- On the other hand, if you love learning and constantly challenging yourself, this position could be a good fit for you

- There are often no right answers. We’re often not able to provide definitive answers to the questions we receive. In many cases, the best we can do is to equip our customers with the information they need to be able to figure out the right answer on their own, or to understand that it isn’t possible to figure out what the right answer is. If you prefer an environment more oriented around providing definitive answers, this position may not be a good fit for you

- Writing thoughtful and empathetic replies to customer emails using our help desk software, Help Scout

- Writing and maintaining help center articles, and identifying topics for new articles based on customer inquiries

- Working with our engineering team to debug software issues our customers encounter

- Using our software to develop and manage new ways for our customers to complete legal paperwork
