As a CSR at Pontera, you’ll serve as a trusted partner to our clients — guiding them through questions, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring they feel heard, supported, and confident in our platform.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Strong problem-solving skills and intellectual curiosity
  • Ability to stay composed and confident even when you don’t immediately know the answer
  • Sound judgment and intuition when communicating with clients
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Empathy and professionalism in client interactions
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills
  • Comfortable collaborating across teams
  • Experience in customer support, client service, or a related field preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Compensation: Base $60,000; OTE $77,649

  • Professional Development: Sponsored learning & development program (to cover classes, certifications, and more!)
