About the Role

As a Product Success Specialist at CORE, you will be the first line of support for our partners, administrators, faculty, students, and preceptors across our CORE ELMS and CompMS platforms. You’ll manage support requests via our ticketing system, troubleshoot technical issues, assist with platform configurations, and serve as a subject-matter expert in both systems. Your work ensures that partners are empowered to manage their academic processes efficiently and with confidence.

    • Training & Enablement: Guide the partners/users through system functionality via email, screen recordings, and occasional video calls. Help users understand not just the "how," but the "why."
    •  Issue Escalation: Identify and escalate complex bugs or configuration issues to our Product or Development teams with detailed documentation.
    • Collaboration: Work closely with Client Success Managers, Product, and Engineering teams to resolve issues and improve support processes.
    • Documentation Contribution: Identify gaps in partner-facing documentation and contribute to internal knowledge base updates.
    • Feedback Loop: Surface trends, pain points, and product feedback to help inform roadmap decisions and improve the partner experience.

Qualifications

    • 2+ years in a SaaS product support role or equivalent; experience supporting higher ed clients is a plus.
    • Exceptional written communication skills; ability to explain technical solutions clearly and empathetically.
    • Familiarity with support tools such as Zendesk, Intercom, Jira, Service Now or similar platforms.
    • Experience troubleshooting web-based systems, ideally in a multi-role environment (admin/student/preceptor).
    • Comfortable navigating settings related to user permissions, scheduling, evaluations, and custom reporting.
    • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, remote-first team.
    • Open and able to work primarily during U.S. Eastern Time Zone hours (5:30 PM to 2:00 AM IST).

What We Offer
