Participant Support Specialist

Guideline | $70,000

Steph's Notes:

We are a high-energy group and work closely with the departments in Customer Operations.

This is clearly part of their job description template and that is a problem. I'm surprised and disappointed that no one in HR has caught it.

You prioritize your workload and know nothing but Inbox Zero. Most of all, you enjoy working with others, you are confident, professional and excel in building relationships!

Really don't love the culture signals coming out of this JD.

We are seeking a natural client advocate with technical affinity who will go to great lengths to provide clients with nothing short of a positive experience.

I don't know if the hiring manager is an immature manager or what's happening here, but whoever wrote this job description does not have a good grasp of what makes a CX professional successful in their work. The only thing keeping this out of BINGO is that the salary is decent.
