WHY BOX NEEDS YOU 

We're a customer-facing team who has developed a reputation for seeing through the forest of trees to isolate the root cause of an issue impacting a customer's experience in Box. We can speak the lingo of Engineers to effectively drive bug identification with the skilled ability to creatively translate technical jargon to non-technical stakeholders.

In addition, our global support organization operates in a "Swarm"-based model. This process aligns multiple tiers of agents to specialize in a single Product-area, providing our customers with the right resources, quickly. TSE's provide technical leadership, know-how, and mentorship within their designated Swarm. Ultimately, you are recognized as a key escalation resource within the Swarm. You will also contribute to the Swarm’s structure as a 'Facilitator' under the three distinct responsibility categories - QB/Coordinator, Process, and Knowledge.

As our customer base grows and rapid changes are made to our existing and future product offerings, we need TSE's to support our continued effort to deliver customer delight.

WHAT YOU'LL DO 

In this role, you will become an expert on an area of the Box product suite and grow knowledge overtime. You will work on customer-facing activities like troubleshooting and supporting them to optimize their use of Box. You will learn how our largest customers use Box on a day-to-day basis and you will become the voice of the customer to our Product Teams. You will collaborate directly with not only our users but also with other internal teams such as Customer Success Managers, Engineers, Implementation Consultants, and Product Managers to optimize our service. You will develop technically and professionally with these internal connections and benefit from supplemental training on topics and opportunities such as tooling, web development, project management, and personal development, while handling escalations and incident management. The Product Support Specialist in Webapp supports Box Canvas, Box Sign, Box AI, and many other products located right in the Web UI.
