Customer Support Associate

Customer Support Associate

Obligo builds trust between landlords and renters through financial technology, making the rental process as seamless as checking in and out of a hotel. Renters enjoy instant qualification and deposit-free renting, while property owners and managers streamline operations and make their listings more appealing to renters.

As a Customer Support Associate, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring an exceptional experience for our customers, helping them navigate our security deposit alternatives while continuously improving our support processes.

We are looking for an empathetic, detail-oriented, and proactive individual to join our Customer Support team. In this role, you will provide timely, high-quality support across multiple channels, assist with escalations from our outsourced support team, and play a key role in optimizing our support processes.

A core focus of this role is deflecting lower-complexity inquiries to self-service solutions and automation, ensuring that live support resources are reserved for high-value and complex interactions. You will also contribute to refining internal documentation and customer-facing resources to improve efficiency and the overall support experience.

Working in a hybrid model from our NYC office in Union Square, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of cross-functional teams to improve our product based on customer feedback. Our Obligo family is driven, charismatic, and a ton of fun to work with.

Responsibilities include :

• Respond to and resolve customer inquiries via email, live chat, and phone within defined SLAs.
• Handle escalated cases from our outsourced support team and provide timely resolutions.
• Ensure high-quality interactions by demonstrating empathy, product knowledge, and problem-solving skills.
• Troubleshoot account issues, technical concerns, and policy-related inquiries, identifying when to escalate internally.
• Identify trends in customer inquiries and recommend automation or self-service improvements (e.g., FAQs, chatbots, help documentation).
• Provide insights into recurring support pain points and suggest workflow optimizations.
• Actively contribute to improving resolution times and deflection rates for lower-cost support tiers.
• Help maintain and improve internal knowledge bases and customer-facing help documentation.
