Customer Support Associate - Floating Schedule

About Parkade

At Parkade, we’re on a mission to transform the way buildings think about and manage their parking. Our platform helps multifamily and commercial properties unlock new revenue, streamline operations, and deliver a dramatically better experience for tenants and residents ("parkers"). We’re a fast-growing, venture-backed startup with an ambitious team and a huge opportunity ahead of us.

We have a network of properties we currently work with, and we're growing that footprint every day. We need to ensure that our existing customers have a top-notch parking experience and that's where our Support team comes in.

About the Role

Primary responsibilities include:

• Provide high-quality support via email and phone to property managers and parking customers on all issues, including but not limited to app/website troubleshooting, assistance booking or adjusting pricing, parking enforcement (fee issuance, towing vehicles), and ad-hoc requests related to parking organization and management.

• Follow all established processes, policies, and legal requirements without deviation; demonstrate accurate recall and application of training in every ticket.

• Maintain a consistent, high-quality voice and tone aligned with company and brand standards.

• Exercise sound judgment in prioritizing issues, escalating as appropriate, and ensuring follow-through for customer issues.

• Communicate with precision, utilizing correct grammar and concise wording, removing ambiguity whenever possible, to ensure property managers and our end users are never confused and constantly educated on how to best utilize Parkade.

• Document actions, decisions, and outcomes on all tickets as needed.

• Be accountable for ticket outcomes, customer satisfaction, resolution quality, and team SLAs and KPIs.

• Identify patterns, recurring issues, and gaps in our product or process, surface insights to the team, and assist in implementing solutions.

• Make decisions without direct oversight as needed and identify and report issues up the chain as needed.

• Partner with cross-functional teams, including Operations, to support existing properties and facilitate onboarding, implementation, and ongoing needs for new properties.

We are currently hiring for the following shift:
This is a part-time, as-needed role. Role to provide support during planned future periods of need (i.e., during scheduled PTO, anticipated high volume days, etc.) as well as unexpected periods of need (i.e. day-of call out).
We estimate the need to be between 1-2 partial (4 hour) or full (8 hour) days during morning and/or night shift.

Requirements

• Background. 1–3 years of experience in customer support, operations, or success—ideally within a SaaS startup or a rapidly evolving B2B environment.

• Adaptability: You are comfortable making decisions when information is incomplete and can pivot quickly as our product evolves.

• Proactive Problem Solving: A "self-starter" mentality with a proven ability to research and resolve complex technical issues that don’t always have a handbook.

• Ownership: You know how to manage your own queue, multitask across different platforms, and prioritize high-impact issues without constant supervision.

• Exceptional Communication: You write and speak with precision and empathy. You can translate "tech-speak" into simple, actionable instructions for customers.

• AI-Forward: You are comfortable leveraging AI tools and automation to speed up your workflow without losing the human touch.

• Platform Proficiency: Experience with modern support ecosystems (e.g., Front, Zendesk, or Intercom) and a knack for learning new internal tools quickly.

• Data Literacy: Ability to navigate spreadsheets (Excel/Sheets), interpret basic reporting, and use data to back up your troubleshooting.

• Decision Maker. You can confidently make a judgment call without needing to involve POCs or account admins.

• Technical Aptitude: Basic understanding of how web-based software works (e.g., clearing cache/cookies, identifying browser errors, or understanding API basics).

• Feedback Loop: A desire to not just fix the customer's problem, but to document the solution and provide feedback to the Product team to prevent the issue from happening again.
