Job description

What do we do?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 6000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The role

We are looking for someone who would like to start their journey in customer support. You will be working with our buyers (end users) from software companies that use our platform, learning how to offer top-notch support. You'll be searching for transactions, processing refunds and subscription cancellation requests, and much more.

The ideal candidate will be able to follow our internal process we have in place as well as instructions set by our customers. You will have a strong sense of empathy and you care about people as much as you care about getting your work done. You also have a natural fluidity and thoughtfulness to your written and verbal communication.

You will be part of a global team of buyer support specialists, reporting to the Buyer Support Team Leads. This is a great opportunity if you care genuinely and passionately about customer support and the role it plays in making a customer‑centric team successful. There is great growth potential within the role, with opportunities to progress into a Level 1 Customer support function, as well as several specialist roles within the company.

In this role, you will be working standard hours from Monday to Friday.

What you'll do

• Respond to and resolve queries from our customer’s customers via email. These are transactional queries such as refunds or cancellations.




• Escalate advanced/ complex queries to the appropriate internal channels.

• Continuously improve your knowledge of the Paddle products and increase your ability to understand more and more advanced queries in order to grow in your role.




• Collect feedback, report any issues you come across, get involved in improving our processes and actively participate in team meetings.
  

We'd love to hear from you if

• You have 0-2 years experience in a customer support, customer service, or customer‑centric role, or you're eager to transition into your first customer‑focused position.




• You are a proficient English speaker.




• You are happy to work remotely and are organised in communicating with teams across different time zones (GMT, AEST, EST).




• You love interacting with and helping people.




• You share experiences and feedback with others in order to build your skills.




• You continuously seek to improve, rather than settling for the current state.




• You have an investigative mindset and like to think out of the box.

It'd be great if

• You have worked for a SaaS company, ideally offering customer support to other software companies.




• You already have knowledge of Zendesk or any other helpdesk platforms.




• You are tech‑savvy.




• You are comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment, both autonomously and in collaboration with your teammates, where decisions may need to be made quickly, even without access to all of the information.

Everyone is welcome at Paddle

At Paddle, we’re committed to removing invisible barriers, both for our customers and within our own teams. We recognise and celebrate that every Paddler is unique and we welcome every individual perspective. As an inclusive employer we don’t care if, or where, you studied, what you look like or where you’re from. We’re more interested in your craft, curiosity, passion for learning and what you’ll add to our culture. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t match every part of the job ad, especially if you’re part of an under‑represented group.
Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to better support you through the application process and in the workplace. We will do everything we can to support any accommodations needed. We’re committed to building a diverse team where everyone feels safe to be their authentic self. Let’s grow together.

Why you’ll love working at Paddle

We are a diverse, growing group of Paddlers across the globe who pride ourselves on our transparent, collaborative and respectful culture.

We are a ‘digital-first’ company, which means you can work remotely, from one of our stylish hubs, or even a bit of both! We offer all team members unlimited holidays and 4 months paid family leave regardless of gender. We invest in learning and will help you with your personal development via constant exposure to new challenges, an annual learning fund, and regular internal and external training.
