Role Overview
As a Technical Support Specialist, you are the frontline support partner for schools using Securly’s platform. You support both technical and non-technical users—primarily K–12 IT administrators, educators, and school staff—via phone, chat, email, and web-based support requests.
This role blends world-class customer service with technical problem-solving. You own customer issues end-to-end, from initial intake through final resolution or escalation, ensuring customers are never dropped between handoffs. You independently resolve Common and more complex issues, progressively build product expertise across assigned solutions, and escalate complex cases with clear, decision-ready documentation.
Success in this role is measured by resolution quality, customer satisfaction, operational reliability, and continuous learning—not just ticket volume.
