Job description

Karbon is the global leader in practice management software for growth-minded accounting firms. We provide an award-winning, highly collaborative cloud platform that streamlines work and communication, enabling the average accounting firm using Karbon to save 18.5 hours per week, per employee.

We have customers in 34 countries and have grown into a globally distributed team, with our people based throughout the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. We are well-funded, ranked #1 on G2, have a fantastic team culture built on our values, are growing rapidly, and making a global impact.

• Provide support to customers in the form of video & technical chat support. Training on the Karbon platform to drive client satisfaction. Ensure that considerable value is realized by the customer on the platform in the first 90 days after sale.
• Drive growth in existing customers after 90 days of the sale by ensuring they are fully able to use all of Karbon’s functionality by promoting awareness and adoption of the product.
• Increase the participation in free service offerings such as the Getting Started & Onboarding webinar series.
• Acquire and maintain a working knowledge of the value proposition of the platform as well as the existing and future needs of the customer.
• Assist, as needed, in the completion of customer-facing activities including updating client data, updating support resources, and updating support videos. Proficiency in Excel is a plus.
• Solve customers’ problems by building partnerships, driving product/feature adoption, and ensuring customers actualize the value proposition from their investment. Be creative and adaptable in suggesting solutions to clients’ unique problems.

About you

Candidates with following experience are encouraged to apply:

• 1-2 years of customer service experience – since customer support representatives work directly with customers to solve end-user issues and answer questions, it’s essential that you have strong customer service skills.
• Prior experience with chat / support software–i.e. Intercom/Zendesk/Salesforce. By nature, customer support representatives perform their day-to-day tasks on a computer. You must be able to easily operate a computer, especially in terms of checking and responding utilizing live chat services and software.
• Problem-solving skills– the ability to solve problems is just as integral to a chat agent’s work as solid communication skills. When presented with a problem, chat agents must be able to find a solution calmly and efficiently, even if the customer is impatient or disgruntled
• BA/BS preferred and have a minimum of 1-3+ years of industry experience in B2B SaaS businesses, accounting professional services, training or education or customer support.
• Have great communication skills to be able to explain complex concepts clearly and efficiently and give consultative advice to help customers grow their performance.
• Have experience/passion for enabling businesses to grow and succeed.
• Ability to learn modern customer enablement SaaS and servicing tools to better understand, manage, and support customers.
• Have professional spoken and written English (fluency in other major languages is a plus but not required).

Please note the hours for this role are: 12am - 9am Tuesday - Saturday and 10pm - 7am Monday - Saturday during training

Why work at Karbon?
