Description

In the role of Partner Support Specialist, you’ll work directly with our ISV Partners to support their payments integration with Stax. Stax partners with a wide array of software companies across many different industries, to enable payment acceptance within their platforms. In this role, you’ll provide a white glove support experience for your counterparts at our Partner companies.

While much of your day-to-day will consist of customer service and technical troubleshooting, you’ll be a true Partner-facing problem-solver. Partners will rely on you to aid them in offering top tier customer support and issue resolution, while equipping them with the tools and critical knowledge to level up their own support efforts. Common types of support include funding research, statement assistance, merchant account updates, and technical matters related to terminals and integrated functionality.

You’ll have endless opportunities to level up your own knowledge, both within the payments ecosystem and across industries like healthcare, field services, legal, accounting, ecommerce, and much more.
