We’re looking for a Technical Client Support Specialist with a passion for learning, a kind heart, a positive attitude, and a great sense of humor to join our growing team. We’re evolving our support structure to deliver a faster, more seamless experience for our customers. As a Technical Client Support Specialist, you’ll serve as the primary owner of escalated technical issues, working directly with customers to drive resolution while collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success.

This isn’t a behind-the-scenes role. You’ll lead escalated conversations, assess impact, shape communication strategies (like status page updates), and ensure every issue is handled with transparency, accuracy, and care.

The Technical Client Support Specialist will be a key player on an incredible team as we execute our mission to help local governments and school districts take the next step from good to great.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own escalated tickets end-to-end, taking over from L1 Support and leading all customer-facing communication through to resolution.
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across our local government budgeting SaaS platform.
• Partner with Engineering and Product teams to submit clear, actionable Jira tickets, validate fixes, and track resolution progress.
• Evaluate the customer and business impact of escalated issues, including urgency, visibility, and how many customers are affected.
• Drive the right communication strategy: status page updates, proactive outreach, or in-app messaging.
• Keep customers and internal stakeholders proactively informed throughout the investigation and resolution process.
• Identify recurring issues or product gaps, and work with cross-functional teams to propose preventative fixes or product enhancements.
• Contribute to and maintain internal documentation, known issues, troubleshooting guides, and escalation playbooks.
• Participate in post-mortems for high-impact incidents, ensuring learnings are shared and incorporated into future response plans.
• Mentor L1 team members by sharing context, patterns, and technical troubleshooting strategies.

What Success Looks Like:

• Escalated issues are resolved with minimal internal friction and high customer satisfaction.
• Known issues are documented and shared proactively, reducing repeat escalations.
• Critical incidents include timely, clear status page updates when appropriate.
• The L1 team feels supported and learns from every escalation.

Critical Skills/Experience:

• 2–5 years of experience in technical support, QA, solutions engineering, or related roles within a SaaS environment
• Strong technical troubleshooting skills, with proficiency in reading logs, APIs, and data analysis (SQL or similar)
• Experience with tools like Zendesk, Jira, and Confluence
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to clearly explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Calm, confident presence when working with escalated or frustrated customers
• Proven track record of ownership and follow-through, especially when coordination across teams is required
• A proactive mindset, you look for patterns, question assumptions, and propose process improvements
• (Preferred) Basic scripting experience (e.g., JavaScript, Python)
