  • Comfortable handling high-volume support queues with multiple concurrent tickets
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to resolve issues end-to-end
  • Calm under pressure with strong problem-solving ability
  • Reliable, punctual, and consistent with attendance and comfortable working evening or overnight shifts aligned to U.S. hours
  • Experience with service management tools like Zendesk, Jira Service Management, or ServiceNow
  • Familiarity with websites, web applications, and mobile apps; API knowledge is a plus
  • A true team player who collaborates well and contributes proactively

About Keen

Most businesses don’t fail because the idea was weak. They fail because the team behind it was under-supported, fragmented or stuck in constant firefighting.

Keen fixes that.

We place high-performing, critical thinkers inside your business so you can finally work with the clarity, calm and momentum you’ve been missing. Our talent integrates into your Slack, your systems and your daily workflow. They think with you. They make decisions faster. They solve problems before they escalate. They work with context, ownership and accountability that outsourced teams simply cannot match.

Agencies deliver outputs.

Freelancers deliver tasks.

Keen delivers capability.

We build the kind of team founders wish they had from day one. A team that improves CX, strengthens creative, drives performance and protects the customer experience at every touchpoint.

This is not outsourcing.

This is integration.

This is the future of how modern businesses grow.

What We Do

• Place embedded talent across Creative, CX, Marketing and Operations

• Build integrated workflows that eliminate silos

• Strengthen systems and increase operational clarity

• Bring critical thinking into every part of the customer journey

• Remove friction so teams move faster with confidence

Why It Works

Our people think. They don’t follow scripts or rely on rigid process. They solve problems, spot patterns and close loops that used to stay open for months. They help founders breathe again.

Modern teams need integration, not outsourcing.

Keen builds the people who make that possible.
