Who we are

Clearstream is a communication software for churches. Our web-based texting and email app is used by 6,000+ churches, including many of the largest in the U.S.

While our customer base is large, our team is small - around 14 people currently. This means you will play a vital role and have a voice. Our culture is genuinely friendly and fun, but also highly detail-oriented, and hard working. But we don't subscribe to the 'work until you drop' startup mentality. We strongly believe in work/life balance. Proof is that we have 4 day work weeks year-round.

You can learn more about our team and values here - . It's not an after-thought, and it's the antithesis of most customer support teams (no offense). Extremely knowledgeable, very short wait times (2 minutes), no chat bots, no up-selling, no red tape. Just real people that actually help churches.

What Success Looks Like For This Role

• Live chat: A major part of this role is handling conversations through the live chat on our website and in our application. You will talk with customers to help them get set up, troubleshoot issues, and answer questions they have. You will also chat with non-customers (leads) who are looking to start using Clearstream. Live chat is fast paced, and you will have multiple conversations at a time. Our team prioritizes speed, but not at the sacrifice of quality. Responses should be fast, but also very clear and helpful.
• Zoom calls: You will have multiple Zoom calls each week to walk customers through their accounts, troubleshoot issues, and answer questions.
• Email support: The majority of our support is not through email, but you will use email at a small scale.
• Technical but approachable communication: You should be able to learn something complex and technical, then communicate it back in a way that's simple and easy to understand. You should know what's important to include in your responses, but also what should be left out.
• Humble: You should be receptive to feedback. We care deeply about how we talk with our customers. You can expect a lot of feedback especially in your first 6-12 months. Even after that, you will receive regular feedback from your manager. We don't expect you to know everything, but we do expect you to be teachable, and never stop learning. Our support team has an with the churches we serve.
• Video: If you're comfortable on camera, you might help with customer education videos.
