Product Support Specialist

Asana Asana · Enterprise · Sydney, Australia · Customer Support

Product Support Specialist role at Asana, focusing on providing expert technical support for their SaaS platform. Responsibilities include troubleshooting complex issues, managing support cases end-to-end, acting as a liaison between customers and the product team, and identifying trends for product improvements. The role requires strong problem-solving skills, technical aptitude, and customer empathy. While the company mentions AI collaboration, this specific role is not directly building or researching AI.

What you'd actually do

  1. Become an expert in Asana’s platform, staying up-to-date on new features and best practices, and develop a positive, consultative relationship to help customers transform the way they work. Given the complexity and breadth of Asana's use across many industries, this is not a typical "question and answer" support role.
  2. Address complex product issues requiring deeper investigation and have solid knowledge of the platform. You will independently resolve most product issues and expertly consult internal experts and 3rd-party tools when blocked.
  3. Own support cases end-to-end, ensuring timely follow-up, clear communication, and full resolution, while managing a high volume of customer inquiries with accuracy, speed, and empathy.
  4. Troubleshoot and resolve common SaaS issues, including authentication (SAML/SSO/etc), browser behavior, user access, and workflow troubleshooting.
  5. Serve as a point of escalation for urgent customer issues or tickets pertaining to specified products, demonstrating a mastery of de-escalation and resolution.
