Customer Support Associate

About Harbor Compliance

Join Harbor Compliance, a pioneering leader in the compliance industry, recognized by Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Merging with Labyrinth, Inc. in 2021, we've expanded our reach to over 35,000 clients, leveraging advanced technology to simplify business licensing and legal entity management. We’re a growing team, passionate about making compliance accessible and efficient for all businesses and nonprofits.

The Customer Support Associate’s primary objective is to provide fast, friendly support to clients whose accounts do not have a dedicated support person. This requires the Customer Support Associate to understand the client's inquiries and problems, troubleshoot, and deliver an optimal and effective solution. This role is a critical part of our business, as it is often the only time a client interacts with a human at our brand.

The work of a Customer Support Associate focuses both on short-term client support that indirectly impacts revenue and other long-term objectives and, in many cases, directly impacts revenue through client retention and expansion. The Customer Support Associate is an advocate for our clients, connecting the right resources to solve problems and reporting out client sentiment and feedback that shapes how we design our products and software.
