<h1 class="title">Support</h1> | |
<div class="content"> | |
<p>Passion for supporting our customers on their PCF journey, and ability to approach support | |
issues with a customer-focussed mindset. You are able to handle interrupt-driven and exploratory | |
work (e.g. questions on slack, on-call escalations, participation in cross-team meetings.) You | |
ask relevant questions about an issue, figuring out what a customer needs to move forward, and | |
drive it to resolution. You can communicate what you know respectfully to different audiences. | |
You can also share what you still don’t know, and help identify the steps to learn more. You can | |
apply your acquired CF knowledge on the fly, and are able to explore creative solutions to help | |
meet the customer midway.</p> | |
<p>One example of success in this area: Your PM notes that there is an open support ticket that the | |
team should help with. You don’t have much context on the issue, but go into the Slack channel | |
with an open mind. You ask good foundational questions, learning where assumptions have been | |
made, and where evidence has been found. After speaking with the customer and with Pivotal | |
Support, you realize that this is a known issue in an upstream product, and point support in the | |
right direction. You explain how you got to this conclusion, and stay in the Slack channel until | |
it’s clear that the issue has been resolved and the customer is satisfied with the outcome.</p> | |

Passion for supporting our customers on their PCF journey, and ability to approach support | |
issues with a customer-focussed mindset. You are able to handle interrupt-driven and exploratory | |
work (e.g. questions on slack, on-call escalations, participation in cross-team meetings.) You | |
ask relevant questions about an issue, figuring out what a customer needs to move forward, and | |
drive it to resolution. You can communicate what you know respectfully to different audiences. | |
You can also share what you still don’t know, and help identify the steps to learn more. You can | |
apply your acquired CF knowledge on the fly, and are able to explore creative solutions to help | |
meet the customer midway. | |
One example of success in this area: Your PM notes that there is an open support ticket that the | |
team should help with. You don’t have much context on the issue, but go into the Slack channel | |
with an open mind. You ask good foundational questions, learning where assumptions have been | |
made, and where evidence has been found. After speaking with the customer and with Pivotal | |
Support, you realize that this is a known issue in an upstream product, and point support in the | |
right direction. You explain how you got to this conclusion, and stay in the Slack channel until | |
it’s clear that the issue has been resolved and the customer is satisfied with the outcome. |
