Description
Specialist, Product Support
Company Overview
At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.
Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity .
FourKites is seeking a Specialist to join our Product Support team. We're looking for someone who combines technical curiosity with genuine customer empathy — someone who's shown early ability to own complex problems end-to-end and is ready to grow into a role with real breadth across enterprise support, cross-functional collaboration, and evolving AI-driven workflows.
Job Description
The Specialist will provide advanced technical support for our B2B SaaS platform, owning issues from identification through resolution while advising a diverse range of stakeholders — from Global 2000 shippers, to transportation and logistics companies across geographies and modes, to independent trucking companies — on how to get the most out of FourKites.
This role sits at the intersection of technical problem-solving and customer communication. You'll triage inbound requests across channels (calls, cases, etc.), conduct proactive outbound engagement with customers and carriers, and serve as the connective tissue between our customers and our Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams. You'll also work within a team that is actively integrating AI tools into its workflows — comfort navigating change and learning new tooling quickly matters here.
This is a high-growth seat. Depending on your strengths and interests, the role can develop toward a senior support engineering track (deepening technical expertise and shifting into break-fix collaboration with Engineering) or a Technical Account Management-style track (owning customer relationships with technical depth). We'll help you figure out which path fits.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Support & Triage
Serve as a primary point of contact for inbound customer and carrier communications across phone, email, and chat
Triage incoming requests — assess urgency, route appropriately, and own resolution for issues within scope
Conduct proactive outbound outreach to customers and carriers to address emerging issues before they escalate
Manage complex cases from first contact through resolution, keeping customers informed throughout
Translate technical findings into clear, actionable guidance tailored to the customer's level of technical sophistication
Technical Investigation & Collaboration
Troubleshoot platform issues using log analysis tools (e.g., SigNoz, Datadog, Splunk), API testing (e.g., Postman), and SQL queries
Investigate data discrepancies and system behavior across integrations, working with Engineering when root causes require code-level fixes
Identify patterns across cases that suggest systemic issues and surface them to Product and Engineering with clear supporting evidence
Engage with Product Operations on customer-facing Knowledge Base feedback to improve self-service resources
Continuous Improvement
Contribute to internal knowledge sharing — document what you learn, flag gaps in existing resources, help teammates ramp faster
Participate in evolving AI-assisted support workflows, providing feedback on tooling and helping shape how the team works
Look for opportunities to improve processes, reduce repeat contacts, and raise the quality bar for the team
Basic Qualifications
2+ years of experience in a technical support, customer success, or similar customer-facing technical role, ideally in B2B SaaS
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex issues simultaneously while maintaining clear communication with customers
