Technical Support Specialist at Absorb… · Calgary

"Every time people ask me how I’m enjoying my job, the first thing I mention is how much I enjoy working for a company like Absorb. The culture is collaborative and open, the structure is understandable while also providing support, and the company itself is exciting and full of growth. My job within Client Advocacy specifically has been a tremendous experience. I’ve always had a knack for everything technical, but I’ve never made it my career, as my education was in other areas. The Client Advocacy team mentored me and helped me develop my skills to where I am now a Technical Specialist, and my knowledge of SAAS has grown exponentially." - Connor Rosine, Client Advocate
