Part-Time Affilimate: WordPress Suport Tech
Job Description
Headquarters: Berlin, Germany
URL: https://affilimate.com
About the role
You’ll help customers who use Affilimate‘s affiliate analytics platform.
This includes answering pre-signup questions from prospective customers, and then supporting them in configuring their (usually WordPress) websites and account correctly during onboarding.
You’ll answer ongoing product-related questions and help us improve our support processes, documentation, and user experience.
In the process, you’ll also become an expert in affiliate analytics and tracking.
Typical tasks will include:
- Help onboard new publishers (customers)
- Troubleshoot WordPress plugin issues relating to caching and performance, sitemaps, hosting, CDNs, and link cloakers
- Answer product questions related to account setup, API integrations, and link tracking
- Document and standardize these support processes
- Add and maintain articles and tutorials in our Help Center
- Answer questions sent to our Support email address
- Answer questions posted in our Facebook community
- Suggest UX improvements to reduce repeat support queries
The time commitment is 10-15 hours per week.
Head’s up: Affilimate itself is not a WordPress plugin. It’s an independent SaaS application, which users set up by adding a JavaScript snippet to their website.
Though most of our customers operate WordPress sites, you may occassionally support customers using other solutions like Squarespace or custom-built sites.
Compensation
$15 – $20 per hour
Location
Remote, some timezone overlap with Berlin (CET) is ideal.
Your location must be supported by our payroll solution.
Benefits
- Work remotely and enjoy flexible hours
- Minimal meetings (1x per month check-ins)
- No on-call rotation
- Work with a growing, bootstrapped startup
- Paid week off for the Winter holidays
Requirements
- Excellent written English. A key element of this job is explaining clearly and concisely how to fix technical issues to WordPress site owners.
- Strong prior experience with WordPress plugins and ecosystem. You need to have worked with WordPress previously in a professional capacity.
- Comfort with HTML, HTTP requests and redirects, sitemaps, caching, CDNs, hosting. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should understand how websites and webservers work in practice.
- Foundational knowledge of how affiliate links work (cookies, query parameters, etc). Helping our customers use affiliate tracking to improve revenue is our core business!
Nice-to-haves
You’ll be at a strong advantage for this role if you have:
- Specific past experience doing WordPress plugin support
- Personally operated a website monetized via affiliate marketing in the past
Expectations
- 10-15 hours per week + monthly check-in
- You can work independently while still asking questions when something isn’t clear.
- We’ll start slow and tag team over Slack and in Help Scout as you learn the product and domain.
- After 3-4 weeks, you need to be able to handle most common support requests yourself and know the product in-depth.
- The ideal candidate for this job is already proficient at troubleshooting WordPress technical issues, and wants a more flexible, part-time job that isn’t stressful.
- Apart from day to day support requests, specific tasks surrounding documentation and tutorials will be coordinated in our project management tool, Shortcut.
Hiring Process
- Fill out the application form linked below
- If you’re a good match, we’ll send you three real support requests Affilimate has received, and you’ll draft responses. This should take about 30 minutes.
- If your answers are strong, we’ll make you an offer to work on a trial basis at full pay.
- After a few weeks, we’ll decide whether to continue working together long-term.
