This is an odd one. I’d expect to see both on-the-ground and macro-level responsibilities for a role like this, but it’s in such an odd mix that it comes across as if they didn’t consult the actual Support team when writing it or they’re not actually sure what they want out of the role.
Shippo isn’t nearly as transparent about this frontline role as they are about the Senior Manager, Product Support role, which doesn’t sit well with me.
The company claims this comp is highly competitive, however considering the duties of the role and the (at their own admission) highly-complex product and the fact it’s a FinTech company, I’m calling bullshit. Otherwise, it seems fine.
I will be forever outraged / amused by companies that say their comp is competitive, don’t provide said comp, and then have the audacity to say they’re looking for someone who wants to hold a role for the long-term.
Points in favor: up-front about the challenges facing the team. Points against: C-Suite is all men. No mention of benefits or comp, asks for salary expectations in application.
This role requires at least 5 years experience, is highly technical, and is described as “designed to deliver a higher level of partnership with the customer and is not a traditional ticket-by-ticket technical support role.” So why is the pay so low?
Benefits section lists no actual benefits, but don’t worry! You’ll get potential! You’ll make a name for yourself! You’ll get exposure! YOU’LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN DOESN’T THIS SOUND FUN
This is an alarmingly low salary for what appears to be at least 3 roles in one. Other flags: poorly edited job description, random mentions of required skills unrelated to job title, generic offering of “Benefits and health insurance.”
