About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Work the general support queue, resolving Tier 1 cases across payroll, taxes, HR, and benefits for Miter's customer base.
Ramp quickly on Miter's product, ticketing tools, and knowledge base — shadowing Specialists early, then resolving tickets independently within weeks.
Use troubleshooting frameworks and internal resources to diagnose issues, ask the right clarifying questions, and deliver clear, empathetic responses.
Stay with the ticket: follow up proactively, loop in Specialists when needed, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Develop a product specialization over time, contributing to team SLAs and handling 60–70% of assigned tickets without escalation by month two.

Requirements

What you’ll need

0–2 years in a customer-facing role (support, success, retail, hospitality, or similar) — non-traditional backgrounds welcome if the communication and learning bar is met.
Track record of ramping quickly on a complex product or domain — whether through school, a prior job, or otherwise.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, ticket- or queue-driven environment; able to manage multiple open cases without dropping the ball.
Proficient navigating modern SaaS tools; able to learn a new product deeply within weeks, not months.
Comfortable using a help desk / ticketing system (Pylon, Zendesk, Intercom, Front, or similar).
Can follow a troubleshooting framework and use a knowledge base to diagnose issues independently.
Coachable: takes feedback well and asks for help before getting stuck.
High ownership: stays with the ticket, follows up proactively, doesn't let things drop.
Empathetic and patient with frustrated customers, including those under real time pressure.
Curious about the construction industry and the operational reality of our customers.
