Technical Support Specialist

Overview

The number one goal of everyone in our team is to make our Clients exceptionally happy. The Technical Support Specialist plays an important role in making sure that happens.

The Technical Support Specialist handles the first level support requests that come in from our Clients. They are the first to touch a helpdesk ticket and make sure that the issue is handled quickly and the Client is informed of what to expect every step of the way.
