Part-Time: Customer Support Specialist

Opportunity Education is seeking a part-time Customer Support Specialist to support educators, schools, and administrators using Feedback Forward, an app for daily exit tickets.

We are looking for someone who understands schools firsthand. The ideal candidate is a former teacher, educator, instructional technology specialist, or other school-based professional who is highly comfortable with technology and can understand both the technical problem a teacher is experiencing and the classroom realities that shape how the product is used.

• Create, manage, and continuously improve customer support processes within OE’s support ticketing platform, including prioritization, documentation, follow-up, and escalation.
• Support schools and administrators with integrations, rostering, account access, and data synchronization across platforms such as Clever, Google, and student information systems (SIS).
• Share product updates and release announcements with customers, clearly communicating new features, improvements, and changes relevant to educators.
• Develop onboarding, technical setup, and self-service resources, including Help Center articles, best-practice guides, and short instructional videos.
• Identify recurring questions, issues, and customer feedback to improve support processes and surface actionable insights and product opportunities to the product team.
• Work closely with product and engineering to reproduce, document, escalate, and resolve technical issues.
• Develop deep expertise in Feedback Forward and independently manage support responsibilities with timely, high-quality communication.
