Marvel (www.marvelapp.com) is a fast growing design and prototyping platform based in London, UK. Around the world, people in schools, start-ups, agencies, and Fortune 500 companies are using Marvel to bring their ideas to life. In the past year weve grown to over 3 million users with thousands signing up everyday. Our loyal community of users love our product (just check out their tweets!), but what you see today is just the beginning. We’re building a platform that serves millions of people - and we need your help.

Were looking to bring on a new member of our support team to match demand and keep our users happy.

As a member of the Support team, youll act as the voice of Marvel, for many users you will be the first person they ever speak to at the company so we want to leave them with a lasting impression.

Youll be talking to everyone from startups right the way to Fortune 500 companies and answering their questions and fixing problems on a daily basis, on multiple platforms (email, Twitter, Skype, Hangouts, chat).

You will be a sponge - collecting insights, problems, solutions and then feeding back to the team so we can improve the product.

If you’re a strong writer, a fast researcher, constantly curious, and can’t stand users having anything less than a stellar experience, we want to hear from you!
