As Fora continues to scale its global advisor community and expand its product offerings, the volume and complexity of support inquiries are increasing. The Support Operations Specialist, Fora X is a newly created position dedicated to delivering white-glove, personalized support to our highest value advisors.
This segment represents a meaningful share of company revenue and demands a level of care, responsiveness, and dedication to support excellence that sets a new bar for what Fora X advisor experience can look like.
This role sits within the Support team and reports to the Support Operations Lead. It partners closely with cross-functional teams including Advisor Experience, Finance, Product Operations, and the broader Support organization. The Support Operations Specialist will own Fora X inquiries end to end, reducing reliance on senior leadership for escalations and ensuring a seamless, high-quality advisor experience.
This is a hands-on, evolving role with the opportunity to define what best-in-class support looks like for Fora X. The ideal candidate is support-obsessed, composed under pressure, and genuinely curious about Fora X advisors' businesses and how we can best support them. Operational fluency matters, but it's your judgment, communication, and commitment to concierge-style support that will define success in this role.
Key Responsibilities- Deliver white-glove, highly personalized support to Fora X Advisors — anticipating needs, creating a premium experience, and treating each interaction as relationship-building
- Navigate sensitive, high-stakes advisor situations with care, urgency, and sound judgment — from retention concerns and complex supplier relationships to sensitive client scenarios
- Communicate confidently and empathetically via Intercom across all queues — including account operations, finance operations, booking operations, and advisor experience inquiries
- Serve as the first line of resolution for Fora X escalations, fully investigating and attempting resolution before routing to senior leadership
- Provide live, high-touch support via phone or Zoom when advisors need real-time assistance or when a complex issue requires a personal conversation
- Partner closely with the Advisor Experience team to troubleshoot complex escalations — while maintaining clear ownership of resolution and ensuring issues don't stall or get diffused across teams
- Proactively monitor the Fora X queue for unresponded tickets and early signs of advisor churn
- Maintain and improve macros, SOPs, and internal documentation for Fora X support workflows
- Meet and exceed core support metrics (e.g., SLA compliance, CSAT, AHT, FCR)
- Develop and maintain deep fluency in support tools (Intercom, internal BI dashboards, booking and payment systems)
- Drive initiatives to improve support scalability, including tooling enhancements, AI/chatbot optimization, and process automation
- Help onboard and mentor new support team members
- 3–5 years of full-time experience in a high-touch customer-facing role — such as customer success, VIP/concierge support, executive support, L3 escalations for premium customers, or enterprise account management
- Strong judgment in ambiguous situations — you synthesize context quickly and know when to act vs. escalate
- Detail-oriented with strong documentation and follow-through habits
- Exceptional written and verbal communication — you write with clarity and warmth, and can hold a difficult conversation with a demanding advisor without losing composure
- Comfortable operating in an environment where the product, the advisors, and the playbook are all evolving — and energized by the chance to help shape what great looks like
- Ability to build trusted relationships with high-value advisors and internal stakeholders.
- Experience with ticketing platforms (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk)
- Solid understanding of key support metrics such as SLA, CSAT, AHT, and FCR
- Familiarity with BI tools, payment processing systems, or AI chatbots
- Based in NYC or open to relocation
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
- Background in luxury, boutique, or high-touch service environments — hospitality, travel, or similar
- Proficiency in financial operations, including exposure to commissions, payment workflows, or reconciliation processes
- Experience contributing to process improvement initiatives, documentation, or operational playbooks
- Exposure to customer experience or analytics tools that inform support strategy and decision-making
