Welcome to blithequark
blithequark is a fully remote company that values flexibility, allowing our team to work on schedules that maximize productivity. We operate with few meetings and emphasize hard work, clear communication, and reliability to keep our team efficient and effective. As a rapidly growing SaaS platform, we are committed to providing the best tool for analyzing data from popular apps and APIs. Our mission is to empower businesses to make data-driven decisions, and we are looking for a talented individual to join our team as a Data-Savvy Customer Support Representative.
About the Role
This is a full-time, remote position that offers opportunities for growth as the company expands. As a Customer Support Representative, you will play a critical role in delivering exceptional support to our customers, helping them to get the most out of our reporting tools. If you enjoy problem-solving, working with data, and helping customers achieve their goals, we’d love to hear from you!
Key Responsibilities
- Reading and replying to customer queries through our helpdesk tool and live chat for select customers.
- Assisting customers in creating and customizing reports, including formulas tailored to their needs.
- Helping merchants schedule and set up reports in Google Sheets.
- Investigating and explaining report results, especially those related to financial data such as profit and loss statements, cash flow reports, and transaction summaries.

Additional Responsibilities
Occasionally, you may also be required to:

Required Skills
We value highly effective individuals who are passionate about their work and possess the following skills:

- Problem-Solving: Tenacity in tackling new and unique report requests, considering various solutions to find the optimal one.

Preferred Skills
In addition to the required skills, we prefer candidates with:
- Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Excel, SQL, Tableau, PowerBI, Google Data Studio, or similar tools. Familiarity with these tools will help you quickly adapt to our app.
- Experience in e-commerce, accounting, or finance. Familiarity with these domains will be beneficial as our reports often analyze orders, transactions, and financial data.
- Ability to create engaging screencasts for documentation and tutorial purposes.
- Familiarity with QuickBooks or similar accounting platforms.
