Responsibilities
- Provide timely, professional, and empathetic email-based support to B2C and B2B users of both Overleaf and Papers AI
- Handle billing inquiries for both products (e.g., Stripe-based subscriptions), escalating complex billing or account issues as needed
- Maintain and improve Overleaf’s existing documentation and knowledge base, while building Papers AI’s user-facing help content largely from scratch as common issues emerge
- Log bug reports to Product and Engineering with clear, reproducible detail
- Adhere to and refine Overleaf’s established support processes, and help shape a first support playbook for Papers AI as ticket patterns emerge
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Engagement, and Finance teams to support individual users, institutional clients, and enterprise customers across both products
- Monitor support trends and user feedback across both products, and proactively surface patterns that show up
Skills
- Fluency in English, with strong attention to detail and clarity
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for engaging with customers and internal teams
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot technical issues efficiently, across products with different levels of process maturity

- Experience in a customer service or support role, preferably within a SaaS platform
- Ability to quickly learn and explain technical subjects to users of varying expertise levels, across more than one product at a time
- Comfortable working remotely and independently while collaborating with a distributed team
