Customer Support Specialist (Seasonal)

This seasonal role is designed for experienced, customer-focused professionals—ideally those familiar with Carnegie Learning systems and workflows—who can quickly contribute in a structured, fast-paced environment.

Rather than traditional high-volume case handling, this role focuses on triaging incoming requests, supporting licensing workflows, and improving internal systems and content to enhance overall efficiency and customer outcomes.

Seasonal team members will operate as flexible contributors, supporting peak demand while also driving behind-the-scenes improvements that reduce future customer effort.
