About The Role
We are seeking a dedicated Customer Success and Support Specialist to join our dynamic team. In this hybrid role based in London, you will be the primary point of contact for a select group of customers, guiding them through onboarding, ensuring they derive maximum value from our platform, and providing ongoing support. Your responsibilities will encompass both proactive engagement and reactive troubleshooting, ensuring a seamless experience for our users. You will conduct onboarding calls to familiarize new customers with our tools, such as Instant Quote Tools, Customer Portals, and Proposal features, while also maintaining regular check-ins to monitor account usage and address any challenges. Additionally, you will handle inbound support inquiries via email and live chat, diagnosing issues, resolving straightforward problems directly, and escalating complex bugs to our development team using Linear. Your proactive approach and ownership mindset will be vital in building strong, trust-based relationships, helping customers optimize their use of our platform and resolving issues efficiently. This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with our product and engineering teams, contribute to continuous improvement, and grow into a senior customer success position as the company scales.
