Product Specialist at Specter

At Specter, we're on a mission to bring transparency and efficiency to private markets. We believe that better data leads to better investment decisions, and we're building the tools that make this possible.


We've grown as a self-funded, profitable startup by focusing on what matters most - delivering exceptional value to our customers. Our dedication to understanding the nuances of private markets has attracted over 300 leading VC and PE firms who rely on Specter daily.


As we continue scaling, we're growing our success team. This is a unique opportunity to help shape Specter's future in its early stage, where your contributions will have a direct impact on customers and the product itself. You'll enjoy accelerated career development in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Customer Success at Specter

As a data platform company, we only succeed when our customers can quickly learn, adopt, and get value from our product. We spend significant time building an intuitive platform, but we know there's no replacement for getting help from a real-life expert when you're learning a complex product.


Our Product Specialists are the first helpful and friendly face that our customers meet. They work directly with investors and operators, helping them set up and get maximum value from our platform. As experts in Specter, they are our most critical touchpoint in making customers successful with our product.

###

What you'll be doing

Work directly with Specter's customers via calls, email, and chat to ensure their success with our platform


Serve as a critical bridge between our product and our customers


Guide users on best practices, integrations, and advanced functionality


Design and develop resources to support customer onboarding at scale (e.g., user guides, documentation, onboarding emails)


Identify accounts where there is opportunity to expand Specter's impact, and collaborate with the sales team to nurture that growth


Work collaboratively with internal teams to address and resolve customer product issues


Gather client feedback and insights to contribute to the continuous improvement of the Specter product


Debug technical integration issues while also brainstorming strategic solutions with customers

###

Whose team will you join?

You will join a small but mighty team of data platform experts that guide customers through every step of their journey with Specter. We straddle the divide between technical and non-technical teams, and are as comfortable working with engineers as we are with investors and analysts.


We are endlessly curious and perpetual question askers. We're intent on understanding the ins and outs of our customer's businesses, the needs of their teams, and how our platform can deliver maximum value to them.


We are also teachers and two-way conduits of information between Specter's product team and our customers. We write, speak, and present about our product, how it works, and what our customers achieve with it. We also share stories and feedback with our product and engineering colleagues to help them understand our customers' needs.

###

About you

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have:


Direct customer-facing experience deploying, selling, or managing complex products or services


Experience solving business problems with technology


Comfort with technical concepts like APIs, data integrations, and basic programming principles


Some professional or academic experience with at least one programming or query language (SQL, Python, JavaScript)


Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities


Outstanding communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly


A natural curiosity and desire to understand how things work

###

Requirements

Ideally 1-2 years of experience in a customer-facing role, but not a prerequisite


Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience


Proven ability to quickly learn and master new technologies


Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail


Alignment with our values: No Fluff, Speed, Frugality, and Responsibility

###

This is not a good fit if:

You prefer highly structured environments with predictable workflows


You're uncomfortable with the ambiguity and rapid changes of a startup


You want to focus solely on either technical or non-technical aspects of customer success


You have very strict work-life boundaries (while we respect personal time, startup life sometimes requires flexibility)

###

Why this role matters

At Specter, we're rebuilding the data infrastructure for Private Markets. If we succeed, our platform will become integral to the entire tech ecosystem. Your role in ensuring customer success is directly tied to this mission. You'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our company's trajectory during a critical growth phase.
