What the job involves

• Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. Since we launched Mercury in 2019, our customer base has grown to over 200,000 startups and small businesses from all around the world
• This turns out to be a pretty wild endeavor, so we’re looking to bring someone smart onto our Customer Support team to help us out
• As a member of our Weekend Coverage Customer Support team, you’ll make sure our users are charmed by warmth and competence when they have questions or needs that aren’t being met by our product
• You’ll radiate intelligence while exercising your best human qualities, like compassion and empathy, even in the face of frustration
• You’ll need to understand how our product works in detail. Banking* has a lot of moving pieces, so this is harder than it might seem
• Finding efficient, elegant solutions for problems stemming from the oft-convoluted U.S. financial system isn’t always easy, but if you’re good at your job, our users will never know it
• Answer user questions over chat, email, and phone
• Handle user account requests, including application processing, card disputes, missing payments, card shipments, and a whole lot more
• Teach customers how to use our product (hopefully most of it is self-explanatory), and translate user confusion into product suggestions
• Identify the systemic flaws that lead to user problems
• Work with our engineering team to find and squash bugs
• Communicate our users' needs to our partner banks and work with them to improve their products and processes
• Write help articles and FAQs
• Learn our internal tools and figure out how to improve them
• Put in place processes to make your job more efficient
• Help with other compliance and customer tasks
• Create and sustain warm relationships with our users
• Help build out the customer support and ops infrastructure at Mercury
• Required: you will need to be excited to work at least one weekend day per 5 day shift! Please only apply to this role if you can commit to working one of the following schedules below long-term
• Schedule: Sunday - Thursday or Tuesday - Saturday
• Or, if your ideal working time consists of both Saturday and Sunday, we can accommodate that, too!
• Working hours are 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (in your local time zone)
• Your working schedule will be fixed - this is long-term commitment, not a rotating shift
