Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work. ### The role
As a Product Support Specialist at Agile Six, you have a passion for facilitating flow. You understand that things that interrupt someone from accomplishing their goals can be incredibly frustrating and inefficient. You are able to track and manage multiple incoming issues to resolution, while communicating progress to affected parties in a clear and friendly way. You are able to empathize with a technically challenged, user of a system, as well as a senior Software Architect, and lead them to solutions they each can comprehend. You can connect dots, make recommendations based on trends and data, and drive initiatives (such as creating new intake methods or aligning our metrics and tracking mechanisms with ones that exist for other help desks in the ecosystem) to affect meaningful change from start to finish. We're looking for someone who knows how to work collaboratively, both internally with the team and externally with clients, stakeholders, and users. Coupled with this we're looking for someone who is humble and constantly asks questions while also confident that everything needed can be learned. ###
