Who We Are
At Framework, we believe the time has come for products that are designed to last. Founded in San Francisco in 2019, our mission is to remake Consumer Electronics to respect people and the planet.
We've started with two award-winning products, the Framework Laptop 13 and 16. Our laptops are thin, light, high-performance notebooks that can be upgraded, customized, and repaired in ways that no other notebook can. Alongside this, we've launched the Framework Marketplace to enable an ecosystem of parts and modules. We've seen a fantastic reception to both of our laptops from customers and reviewers from outlets like Linus Tech Tips, Ars Technica, and multiple Wirecutter reviews (including a recommendation among the best Windows Ultrabooks of 2024), along with making TIME's Best Inventions lists in 2021 and 2023. As a company, we were #35 on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2022.
We come from successful consumer electronics startups including the founding team of Oculus, and have closed multiple rounds of funding to fuel our roadmap. Even better (and maybe unusually for an early stage startup), we're in a financially healthy position going forward off of our product revenue. We care deeply about building a diverse and inclusive team, and we hope you do too!
We’re looking for an Escalations Support Specialist to help deliver an excellent experience for our growing customer base, managing and streamlining support escalations, end-to-end. This role is responsible for managing escalations from our Tier 1 and Tier 2 support agents, escalating issues to other internal teams within Framework for review and resolution, and for providing Tier 3 support for challenging technical issues. This role also involves developing new SOPs and documentation and training Tier 1 and 2 agents on current and new products to ensure Framework’s customers always have a great experience.
This is a remote position based in the US or Canada. If you're local to the San Francisco area, we spend one day a week together in person at our headquarters.
What You'll Do
- Triage technical customer ticket escalations from our Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 BPO support teams
- Proactively identify and escalate gaps in the customer experience
- Provide the “Voice of the Customer” around trending technical issues to internal stakeholders through reporting shared on a regular cadence
- Build out knowledge base articles and guides to help educate internal support staff and the public on known technical issues and how to resolve them
- Collaborate with e-commerce, supply chain, logistics, and engineering teams to deliver best-in-class consumer experiences
- Help define our support strategy as we continue to scale our efforts in Framework
What You Need
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in engineering, computer science, or another technical field
- 3+ years of experience in technical support and escalation management
- Technical proficiency in Windows and Linux Operating Systems
- Hands-on experience building PCs from components and troubleshooting hardware/software issues
- Proficiency in Jira or similar issue-tracking software
- Proficiency in help desk or customer ticketing software systems (Zendesk, Jira Service Desk, Kustomer, etc.)
- Ability to quickly organize and prioritize issues based on severity and communicate findings cross-functionally in a clear and effective manner
- A desire and ability to wear multiple hats in the early stages of a company, including taking on slices of project management and community support
- Inventiveness, curiosity, and a passion for building and supporting products that people love
What's Nice to Have
- Previous experience in an early-stage startup
- Interest in tinkering with consumer electronics to see how they function or to replace/repair faulty components
- Familiarity with supporting international customer bases and working in multinational teams
- Previous experience supporting both consumer and business customers
- Previous experience with loss prevention
What You'll Love
- Competitive salary, equity, and health benefits
- Paid company holidays plus 20 PTO days per year
- Paid Parental Leave
- Flexible work hours and locations, including every other Friday off!
- 401K with matching for US employees
