Join our Technical Support team as a hands-on learner who helps customers succeed with our security awareness platform. As a Technical Support Intern, you'll be the problem-solver who turns customer questions into resolved issues—working directly with users to troubleshoot technical challenges, configure products to fit their environments, and ensure they get the most value from our platform. You'll gain real-world experience managing support tickets, conducting technical walkthroughs, investigating product issues, and collaborating across teams to deliver solutions that work. The successful candidate is naturally curious about cybersecurity, thrives on helping others solve problems, and takes genuine pride in being the technical resource who makes customers successful while building valuable career skills.

Customer Support: Respond to incoming calls and tickets from customers experiencing product-related issues, applying troubleshooting skills to diagnose problems, provide clear solutions, and ensure timely resolution of technical questions.

Technical Investigation: Research and document technical issues by identifying root causes and working with internal teams to resolve complex scenarios that impact customer experience.

Product Implementation: Assist customers with configuring and implementing KnowBe4 products to meet their specific business needs and technical environments, ensuring smooth setup and optimal platform performance.

Queue Management: Monitor and manage the technical support ticketing queue, prioritizing requests appropriately, maintaining clear documentation, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks while meeting resolution time targets.

Customer Education: Conduct technical walkthroughs and webinars that help customers understand product features, demonstrate best practices for security awareness programs, and answer questions that build their confidence using the platform.

Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with Customer Success Managers and Product teams to escalate issues when needed, share customer feedback that drives product improvements, and gather information required to fully resolve technical requests.

Continuous Learning: Complete comprehensive technical support training focused on KnowBe4 platforms, security awareness concepts, social engineering threats, and how to implement effective security programs across diverse business environments.

 

Training:

One month of technical support training at the beginning of the internship. Core Support tech training will focus on overall use of the KnowBe4 platforms and  understanding how to implement a security awareness program in any business environment.


What You'll Bring

You're the kind of student who enjoys solving technical puzzles, stays organized when managing multiple priorities, and genuinely likes being the person who helps others understand complex technology.

Currently enrolled and working toward a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a similar program—you're building technical knowledge and looking for hands-on experience applying what you're learning.

Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical users—you write professional emails, speak confidently on customer calls, and know how to adjust your approach based on who you're helping.

Natural troubleshooting mindset—you're comfortable investigating problems methodically, researching solutions independently, and applying logical thinking to diagnose issues you haven't seen before.

Excellent organization and time management—you can manage multiple support tickets simultaneously, follow through on commitments, and work effectively with minimal supervision once trained.

Collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills—you work well with diverse teammates, ask for help when needed, and contribute positively to team success.

Accountability and professionalism—you demonstrate integrity in customer interactions, take ownership of tickets assigned to you, and show respect for both customers and colleagues.

Bonus points if you have:

  • Coursework or certifications in network administration, networking fundamentals, or system administration
  • Basic understanding of security concepts, phishing, or social engineering tactics
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems or customer support tools

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
