Remote Customer Support & Community Specialist (Ireland)

TLDR

Utilize AI and customer support systems to provide world-class service for a growing community of fine artists while maintaining high customer satisfaction standards.

Dear world-class remote Customer Support Specialist, the Professional Artist Association (ProfessionalArtist.com/about) is looking for you.

We are building something ambitious.

We are growing the world’s global online community for professional fine artists into the thousands, and we are designing an AI-leveraged, high-efficiency customer support system to match that scale.

If you feel underutilized in your current role…

If you understand that world-class support is both systems + psychology…

If you know how to use AI as a force multiplier (not a crutch)…

Read on.

Your help is needed to support artists from around the world while helping us architect the future of intelligent customer care.

This is not a traditional support role.

This is a systems-first, AI-powered, performance-measured role where you will:

  • Master Intercom as our central nervous system
  • Design efficient workflows using AI
  • Deliver fast, precise, human responses
  • Help us maintain exceptional CSAT and TAT as we scale

You will work closely with our Operations Manager and founder to build a support infrastructure that feels high-touch, even as the community grows into the thousands.

If you are excited by combining customer empathy, data, and automation, this may be your role.
