Job description

We're hiring a full-time Support Specialist in Madison, Wisconsin, to support our smart locker customers. You'll be the main point of contact for customers in the Americas, and you'll help our team in the UK and Australia/New Zealand with worldwide customers where time zones allow. The role reports to the Head of Support.

LocknCharge design & manufacture device charging and storage solutions. Our Smart Locker System is a digital hardware concierge used in schools, businesses and government organizations to automate device loans, repairs, charging, swaps and collections. It connects to our customer’s own identity providers and networks, so support regularly crosses into IT administration and networking.

Most of the role will be front-line support for customers, working closely with our Customer Success team. The rest involves preparing equipment for shipping and trade shows and helping the wider team keep documentation and workflows accurate. Some additional responsibilities may be assigned from time to time.
