We are looking for an Inbound Digital Customer Representative (DCR) to serve as the first line of strategic defense for our global customers. This role provides an exceptional, rapid-response customer experience for incoming inquiries that go beyond technical support.

The Inbound DCR will manage the reactive volume for our digital segment, ensuring no customer is left behind.

• Leverage AI-powered tools to enhance daily productivity, rapidly synthesizing customer context and accelerating the resolution of complex inquiries.

• Triage incoming requests to distinguish between support issues, strategic adoption blockers, and commercial opportunities.

• Identify "at-risk" customers based on sentiment and inquiry type, escalating to leadership or specialized teams when necessary to prevent churn.

• Guide customers to existing self-service resources (Community, Knowledge Base, Toolkits) to foster independence and faster time-to-value.

• Utilize internal AI agents and Knowledge Base tools to retrieve answers efficiently and assist in drafting accurate, empathetic responses.

• Maintain accurate records of customer interactions in Salesforce and Gainsight to ensure a complete view of customer health.

• Collaborate with the Finance and AR teams to quickly resolve billing or administrative blockers that frustrate customers.

• Identify trends in inbound questions to provide feedback to the Content/Outbound team for future toolkit creation.

• Review and analyze the customer base to identify and surface growth opportunities to the Sales Account Executive based on inbound signals.

• Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with a focus on empathy and clarity

• Capacity to set correct expectations and manage issues to completion under time pressure

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to "triage" complex situations quickly
