What we're looking for

You're experienced in customer support, and love doing it. Helping people is your second nature and you're well aware that not everyone is as skilled as you are. Your goal in every conversation is to help the customer reach their goal. Besides, it is important that you process the question or request the first time right. Even if this requires research and learning on your side. You realize that you're the face of Yoast, and know that people love smiling faces. You can express your smile in your written communication because that's what you'll be doing at Yoast. Forget that charming phone-voice, it's all about email here! You've got an eye for detail. Information that's well hidden between sentences doesn't stay hidden for you, and you care about every dot and comma in your replies.

Recognize these?

• Fluent in English (proficiency level 4 / C1, or up).
• Fluent in a second language, preferably Spanish or German (proficiency level 4 / B2, or up).
• You're experienced in supporting WordPress users. Being active on the wordpress.org support forums is a huge advantage when applying.
• You can work with GitHub, Jira, Confluence, and HelpScout, or are willing to learn.
• You've got basic technical skills. FTP, 301 redirect, plugin and SEO sound at least familiar.
• You're not afraid to ask colleagues for advice in a (slack) channel.
• You’re available on Saturday and Sunday, and at least one evening during the week.
• You’re available on weekdays during your training period (approx. 4 weeks).
• Preferably you live in the Pacific or Mountain time zone (UTC -8, UTC -7, or UTC -6).
