Help Customers Get the Best from Our Technology

You’ll be one of the first people our customers turn to when they need help using our software.

Whether it’s a question about how something works, a technical issue that needs investigating or a problem that requires support from another team, you’ll make sure customers receive a helpful, professional response.

You’ll work closely with our wider support and development teams, learning our products, developing your technical knowledge and building strong relationships with the businesses that rely on our technology.

• Supporting new customer software implementations and migrations
• Helping identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve our support service

You're someone who enjoys helping people and has a natural curiosity about technology.

You're confident on the phone, communicate clearly and don't shy away from investigating an unfamiliar problem.

You don't need to know everything about our software or industry already. What matters is that you have a good technical mindset, relevant first-line support experience and the enthusiasm to keep learning.

You'll ideally bring

• A strong customer service background and genuine enjoyment of helping people
• Excellent telephone manner and clear written communication
• Confidence troubleshooting technical issues and working towards solutions Description
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft applications and Windows environments
• The ability to explain technical information simply and patiently
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage competing support requests
• A positive, outgoing personality and confidence dealing with customers
• A proactive attitude, attention to detail and willingness to learn new systems
• The ability to work independently and as part of a supportive team

It would be a bonus if you have

• Experience supporting SaaS or business software applications
• Familiarity with ticketing systems such as Zoho Desk
• Exposure to SQL Server, remote desktop tools or Android applications
• Experience with software testing or customer implementations
• Knowledge of the vending, coffee or retail technology industries
• Additional language skills would be a real advantage as we continue expanding into EMEA markets, although multilingual ability is not essential.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who is personable, technically minded and eager to develop, with the confidence to take ownership of customer enquiries and deliver great support.
