As a Client Services Technical Support Specialist (CSTSS), you will often be the first point of contact for our Call Center and will play a critical role in the success of our customers. Daily, you drive customer loyalty to our company by educating users on the features and benefits of our products and resolving their issues in a timely and effective manner. This is one of the most important brand ambassador roles in Availity. Few other roles in our company touch so many customers in such a direct way. By delighting customers with an exceptional support experience, you not only help retain their business with Availity, but also potentially bring in new customers through their positive referrals.
To be successful in this role you must be a strong communicator, have great active listening and customer service skills, and have no trouble asking probing questions and researching an issue in-depth to solve a problem. Those most successful in this role are motivated self-starters who are comfortable in a dynamic, fast-paced, high call volume environment (yes, you will be on the phones all day), and consistently improve over time through coaching, proactive learning, and development planning.
All CSTSS go through an extensive training program that provides the foundational knowledge necessary to resolve customer issues. The issues you'll encounter will vary in complexity - from simple administrative tasks to more technical healthcare questions. The ultimate goal is to resolve the customer's inquiry while providing excellent service.
Because of their unique skill set, which marries technical product knowledge with the customer experience, our CSTSS are sought after for promotional opportunities throughout the company after spending a year in the role. At Availity, you can have a career, not just a job. So, if you're looking for a positive work environment and the opportunity to propel your career, come join us!
