Job description

  • Resolve complex support issues from merchants via email, Slack, and chat, ensuring fast, clear, and accurate responses.
  • Own ticket triage & prioritization, identifying the root cause of issues and escalating appropriately.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues related to invoicing, payments, integrations (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Stripe), and merchant data workflows.
  • Identify patterns and recurring issues, providing actionable insights to Product & Engineering.
  • Educate and empower merchants, proactively guiding them on best practices for using Tabs.
  • Collaborate with Customer Success, Engineering & Contract Operations, ensuring high-priority issues are addressed efficiently.
  • Contribute to internal documentation, improving processes and reducing repeated inquiries.
  • Ownership - You won’t just resolve issues-you’ll drive improvements, identify trends, and proactively prevent recurring issues.

Examples of Work

  • Handling Critical Invoice Issues - A high-value merchant reports a data mismatch between Tabs and their ERP. You quickly diagnose the issue, extract and format the necessary data, work with the engineering team to implement a fix, and ensure all pending invoices are sent out the same day.
  • Debugging Payment Failures - A merchant experiences payment failures due to a payments system integration issue. You investigate the logs, determine the root cause, work with engineering to resolve it, and guide the merchant through necessary actions to prevent future failures.
  • Proactive Issue Prevention & Merchant Education - After noticing a pattern of merchants struggling with invoice readiness settings, you create an internal playbook and proactive education materials to reduce recurring tickets by 30%.
