About This Job Family

People in this job family help customers when things go wrong—answering questions, solving problems, and escalating issues that need engineering attention. Great support turns frustrated customers into loyal advocates.

What You'll Do

Community Support professionals build and manage peer support communities where customers help each other. They moderate forums, identify advocates, and scale support through community engagement. Success means a thriving community that deflects cases and builds customer loyalty.

  • Learn community support fundamentals and moderation
  • Support community moderation activities
  • Assist with community content creation
  • Monitor discussions and flag issues
  • Build knowledge of community platforms
  • Participate in community planning meetings

Every responsibility is an accomplishment waiting to happen. The question is: will you own the outcome, or just do the task?

AI as an Accelerator

AI isn't a skill we call out. It's invisible in the accomplishment but easily visible in the velocity and scale of your outcomes. Here's how people in this role are accelerating their work with AI:

  • Creating community content
  • Analyzing discussions
  • Building response templates

Your Career Record

**Your Career Record. Your Portable Proof.**

Log accomplishments as you go — not skills you claim, but work you've shipped. When you're ready for your next chapter, TailorCV turns your track record into a promotion case or tailored resume.

Your career story. Your control.

The Competencies That Matter

Skills fill your toolbox. Competencies are how you wield them. Three matter most at this level:

1. CUSTOMER SUCCESS (2) Strong Customer Success skills required at this level.

2. CUSTOMER SUPPORT (1) Strong Customer Support skills required at this level.

3. MARKETING (1) Strong Marketing skills required at this level.

The radar shows the full picture. These three are where you need to be undeniable.

Your Journey From Here

Going up? Your next Tour of Duty:

→ Junior Community Support Specialist - Community (L2) "Build engagement that grows the community"

The L1 → L2 gap is about OWNERSHIP: • From executing tasks → owning outcomes • From writing code → designing systems • From asking questions → answering them

These are your stretch accomplishments. Start doing L2 work now. When you can prove it with accomplishments, you're ready.

Going sideways? That's valid too.

Up isn't the only direction. It's your career. You own it.
