Summary

Player Support Agents (PSAs) are individual contributors who help video game companies build trusting relationships with their players and customers. They do this via a mixture of great communication, problem solving, root cause analysis, knowledge management, and reasoning. Our teams are trusted to do the right thing, so we are allowed to exercise more freedom than the typical customer service representative, and oftentimes provide leadership by setting a good example. This requires that all of us be critical thinkers, owning each interaction until there is a clear point of resolution. We are an essential part of creating great player experiences and driving improvements throughout the entire company.

Communicating with players and customers via email, live chat, or asynchronous messaging (occasionally, there may be an --outbound call)

Contribution to the knowledge cycle: creating and reviewing knowledge articles, contributions to the main knowledge base, flagging of incorrect content, implementation of KCS methodologies into regular workflows, knowledge sharing with teammates
Working in team projects to solve systemic problems, both within the live operations organization and the game teams themselves
Data analysis, and good inferential statistics
Ownership of your personal career growth plan with your manager, including design
Increasing your product knowledge (playing the game[s])
Review teammates work and provide feedback

Come to the office for group project work or high security tasks (mostly voluntary, especially if you live far away from a local office location)

In Conclusion (and a little about us)

This is an entry level position, but offers meaningful career opportunities, including our investment in your personal growth - no matter where your desired next role may be (yes, even if it is at another company). If you give us your best, we will give you ours, preparing you to realize your potential. We are realists and understand that this may not be your dream job. You may only want to be here for a few years. What we are looking for, however, is an opportunity to level you up in exchange for your valuable contributions to our company, and the video game industry. We aim to be a great place to work, a place where people want to stay. But even when people move on, we hope they remember us fondly, and recommend us to others.
