About the Role
We're looking for a Discord Community Support Specialist with financial services and Discord community management experience to own the customer experience in our Discord community server. You'll be the primary voice supporting our community—resolving issues in real-time, answering questions about Polymarket's platform, triaging user concerns, and building scalable support workflows that improve both community health and operational efficiency.
This role goes beyond answering messages. You'll help design Discord support operations: improving response protocols and escalation paths, partnering cross-functionally (Payments, Risk, Compliance, Product/Engineering), and ensuring community communications are clear, accurate, consistent, and regulator-ready. In downtime, you'll support customer tickets through Intercom.
