About The Position

In healthcare, some of the most powerful tools are the ones that quietly change lives. For decades, home health nurses have been buried in paperwork—spending more than half their time completing forms, instead of caring for patients. This burden drives burnout, shrinks margins, and makes it harder for agencies to thrive under the increasing pressures of Medicare Advantage.
At Apricot, we believe software can—and should—do better. Built by home health experts and seasoned product architects, Apricot is designed to streamline home health documentation with speed, and accuracy, freeing nurses to focus on patients while helping agencies expand their capacity. User experience drives everything we do, and this role plays a key part in ensuring our product decisions are grounded in real user insights.
The Customer Support Specialist (CSS) is the frontline of Apricot’s customer experience. You’re often the first human our customers interact with when something goes wrong — and how you show up matters.
You’ll respond directly to customer questions and issues, help them get unstuck quickly, and make sure they feel heard along the way. But this role goes beyond ticket resolution. You’ll look for patterns, surface insights, and help improve how support works overall — especially as we grow and things change.

Requirements

• Customer-first mindset: You genuinely care about helping people and can balance empathy with clarity.
• Support-savvy: You’ve spent 2+ years in a customer-facing support role and know how to move quickly without a script.
• Strong judgment: You can assess an issue, gather context, and decide when to resolve, escalate, or investigate further.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You’re okay figuring things out as you go and don’t need a script for every scenario.
• Pattern spotter: You notice when the same questions or issues keep showing up — and you want to fix the root cause.
• Clear communicator: You can explain things simply and calmly, even when customers are frustrated.
• Feedback-friendly: You’re open to coaching, iterate on your work, and don’t take feedback personally.
• Team-oriented: You collaborate easily across teams and don’t think in terms of “that’s not my job.”
• Startup energy: You’re comfortable moving quickly, learning on the fly, and improving systems as you go.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary responder for customer support tickets via Zendesk (email and phone)
• Provide timely, clear, and empathetic responses to customer questions and issues

• Track issue status and ensure customers receive updates when issues are escalated
• Recommend updates to FAQs or knowledge base articles when patterns emerge
• Draft or suggest lightweight documentation to reduce repetitive questions
• Create and maintain support macros aligned with approved guidance
