Customer Success Analyst

Customer Success Analyst
Remote (Canada) 18 Month Contract

With the launch of our product, Labbit, our Customer Success Analyst Team plays a key part in our customers’ experience. In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop technical skills and learn about the critical role Labbit plays in a laboratory setting. We look forward to helping the Customer Success Analyst (CSA) learn about our product's technical landscape and contribute to customer success by resolving and escalating technical queries. This is a remote-first, 18-month contract, with a possibility of extension. Please note that this role will include an on-call component, so the ability to work outside standard business hours is a key requirement.

About the Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Customer Success, you will join a team serving as the first point of contact for customers after the platform is implemented in their lab. You will be responsible for triaging Tier 1 issues, routing internal requests as appropriate, and escalating requests that require additional support. Issues that can be resolved at the Tier 1 level will be your responsibility to troubleshoot and close. You will also prepare technical documentation on product usage and troubleshooting as you learn the product and how our customers use it. 

As a CSA, you are motivated to grow your technical and product knowledge and understand the importance of self-learning, as the team builds out its initial processes and procedures. You are someone who can stay organized day-to-day, as you will drive process documentation and monitor various queues for customer-reported issues. When responding to customer queries, you will action issues appropriately based on triage resources and escalation pathways.

To be successful in this role, you must be service-oriented and have strong written and verbal communication skills, as this will lend well to prompt, thorough and positive support for our customers. You thrive in a dynamic team environment and can adapt with ease to changing responsibilities throughout the day. Experience in genomics, clinical laboratories, or health sciences is an asset but not required.

• Ability to manage Tier 1 technical issues gained through experience, education or a combination of both.
