Front is the modern customer service platform that helps companies delight their customers, engage their teams, and build stronger businesses. We’ve reimagined the help desk for real-time team collaboration across every customer communication channel, then powered it up with AI and automation to resolve issues and help teams work faster. Customers get exceptional service whether they’re looking for a simple, instant answer, or personalized help on their most complex issues — and you get the analytics and insights your business needs to optimize your customer experience.

You will play a key role in improving our IT experience at Front by enhancing our knowledge base, documenting internal processes, and identifying trends of issues and areas for improvement.

  • Experience working in ITSM tools such as FreshService or ServiceNow. Bonus points for Front experience!

  • Engaged, thoughtful teammate who takes ownership over results and embodies a service mindset.

  • Proactively seeks out solutions to problems and works with appropriate stakeholders to drive resolution.

  • Ability to approach problems with a logical mindset and work with more experienced team members to find solutions.

  • A love of teaching users how to best use systems and transforming them from newbies to power users.

  • Willingness to support project tasks and collaborate with team members to overcome obstacles; eager to learn and assist in research and decision-making processes.

  • Chooses the right method of communicating their thoughts with clarity and precision. Listens well and treats communication as a two-way road.

  • Must occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 lbs.

  • Must be able to occasionally crouch, kneel, and/or duck into tight spaces or under desks.
