About the Role

 Job Type: Full-time, Remote
 

 



 It is primarily a customer support role.
 

 



 Most of your time will be spent reading and replying to email queries from customers through our helpdesk tool (HelpScout) along with live chat support to select customers.
 

 



 Common customer queries include:
 

 



 
Requests to create custom reports and custom formulas
 
Helping merchants schedule and set up reports in Google Sheets
 
Investigating and explaining report results
 
Requests about features, capabilities, pricing, refunds and general interface questions

 The role offers opportunities for growth as the company grows as well.
 

 


Required Skills

 We value highly effective individuals who are passionate about their work and possess the following skills:
 

 



 Analytical reading
 

 



 You'll spend most of your time reading and replying to customer emails. You must be able to read a customer’s email and understand what they are asking, not simply what they are saying.
 

 



 Intelligible writing
 

 



 Excellent written English, with clear, concise, and grammatically correct communication. This is crucial for customer replies, product documentation, and internal communication.
 

 



 Problem-solving
 

 



 Tenacity in tackling new and unique report requests, considering various solutions to find the optimal one.
 

 



 Love for data and numbers
 

 



 While you don’t need extensive experience with data tools, you must have a comfort and interest in working with data. Experience with Excel formulas or SQL is a plus, but not required.
 

 


Preferred Skills

 
Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Excel, SQL, Tableau, PowerBI, Google Data Studio, or similar tools. Familiarity with these tools will help you quickly adapt to our app.
 
Experience in e-commerce, accounting, or finance. Familiarity with these domains will be beneficial as our reports often analyze orders, transactions, and financial data.
 
Ability to create engaging screencasts for documentation and tutorial purposes.

Working Remotely

 
You should be comfortable working from home or another remote environment, with a dedicated workspace and reliable, high-speed internet access.
 
You must be a self-starter, proactive, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
 
You should be available and online during working hours, as we frequently communicate via chat.
 
Clear and frequent communication is essential, including regular updates on your progress, suggestions, issues, and questions.
 
Your writing skills will be put into practice daily to communicate internally and externally.
 
You will join our team as an independent contractor / sole proprietor and will be responsible for paying your own taxes.

What You Can Expect From Us

 
Dedicated onboarding with screen-sharing sessions with team members.
 
A supportive team with a transparent, public-by-default communication culture.
 
Flexible work schedule with regular check-ins to track your progress.
 
Fair compensation based on your skills and location.
 
25 days of paid leave annually.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
