ROLE PURPOSE
The Frontline & Execution Team serves as the first point of contact for all inbound customer support interactions. This team is responsible for rapid intake, accurate triage, initial troubleshooting, and clean escalation when necessary. Frontline agents are the voice of Science On Call.

This role operates at the intake and execution level ensuring tickets move efficiently through the system without bottlenecks.
