Technical Support Analyst
"High stakes" in a job like this means the product doesn't work, or only works enough to be dangerous. You're there as a human shield between the customer and the product, and I promise it isn't even as fun as it sounds.
Roles that involve reactively helping customers understand how to use a product and helping customers with technical issues. Support is usually provided via email, phone, chat, and/or social media.

Blacklane's Careers page is pretty bare-bones, with very little actual useful information, not unlike this job description!
Look, this company sounds weird, the role sounds weird, and the fact that they can't tell you what the pay is is weird. We've got a weird club sandwich of a job listing here, is what I'm saying.
This sounds like a really interesting role with an earnest company, with some neat travel opportunities thrown in. However, since I'm still unsure of what I think about the recruitment video and there's no salary transparency, I'm going to put this in a very tentative Tread Carefully.
I'm sorry, the fuck? You want this role to build out its own completely separate product development function to fix a product so seemingly broken that even the Engineering, Product, and Design teams don't want to deal with it anymore? ARE YOU KIDDING ME
I am immediately suspicious of companies that in one breath brag about how great a workplace they are and then, in the next, make it clear that they are only being transparent about salary because they are legally required to in NY, CO, or CA. Honestly, it's fucking laughable.
This whole JD is a sloppy mess, but hey, at least the pay's good?
For roles in companies like these, upsides for some can be downsides for others: they're often really old-school working environments that tend to favor stability over rapid innovation. You skip a lot of the startup bullshit, but obviously, Business Granddaddies come with their own kind of bullshit.
That whole paragraph – the whole JD, actually – is like a parody of itself. It's a dull, meaningless, satirical mess.
My god, this job description is boring. I legit just nodded off.
The red flag/green flag guy is now levitating, surrounded by an impossibly bright red glow cloud.
I want you to imagine that red flag/green flag guy from Instagram just running back and forth across a field with a sea of red waving majestically behind him.
This role will already be leading the whole Support function, that it's not already at least a manager-level role is, frankly, absurd.
Overall, though, this job seems pretty straightforward, the benefits are fine, and the pay is good for a fairly entry-level remote role. Nice to see a solid Eh, It's Probably Fine for this week's issue.
Oh wow, how unique brightwheel is! Because most startups move like molasses and expect their people to come in and fail immediately and repeatedly.
The main ones: Fast-paced environment, rapidly changing requirements, poorly-edited JD requires attention to detail, JD doesn't mention benefits at all, and salary for leadership roles is good but not for frontline roles.
It seems like a pretty straightforward Director role, but this is one of those times where playing Bad Job Bingo is more an art than a science because I'm getting a weird vibe from this job description.
This role sounds fascinating and the pay is fantastic. I see no flags, so we've got our first (and only?) Green Means Go of the week.
I'm surprised that they provide a salary range for their frontline role but not for this manager role. The way the bullet is phrased makes me wonder if it's a genuine, accidental oversight, but regardless – the lack of salary transparency means this has to go into Tread Carefully.
The difference is that this role is pretty entry-level and offers an avenue for folks in hospitality-based customer service roles to transition into a remote tech support role, gaining valuable startup experience in the meantime.
Not provide fast responses and resolutions or excellent customer service, but fast TIMES and SCORES. Goddamn.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Undecided, and Robots, it's the Incredible... Shrinking... Compensation Package! So great that you can't see it! Incredible because it's beyond imagining! Embark with Apollo.io on a fascinating adventure into the unknown!
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like they're asking this Director position to do a lot. It almost reads as if they asked ChatGPT for a Director of Support & Ops job description and then didn't whittle it down at all to fit this specific role.
You should do a general internet search for Therapy Brands. The results are...not good, particularly in light of the fuss they make about how awesome they are on their Careers page.
