TIER 2 TECH SUPPORT SPECIALIST

SUPPORT OPERATIONS
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full Time


ROLE PURPOSE

The Tier 2 Support Team serves as the escalation point for customer support interactions that require deeper technical troubleshooting beyond initial intake. This team is responsible for accurate triage, in-depth troubleshooting, and clean resolution or further escalation when necessary.

Tier 2 agents are the voice of tech support for one of our clients. They ensure customers feel heard, supported, and confident throughout their interaction while maintaining strong ticket hygiene, priority accuracy, and documentation standards.

This role operates at the escalation and resolution level, ensuring tickets move efficiently through the system without bottlenecks.

- Triage and prioritize based on urgency and business impact
- Resolve technical requests within Tier 2 scope
