Junior Customer Support Specialist

What do we do?

As the SaaS space expands, there’s more potential than ever for growing software companies.

Having a great product is only part of the journey. B2B SaaS companies today face endless competition, live or die by customer acquisition costs, have to earn customer loyalty every day, need to operate across borders, and must navigate increasingly complex regulations.

Our all-in-one platform is purpose-built for modern SaaS execution and already powers growth for over 2000 software companies, globally. Our Revenue Delivery Platform integrates checkout, payment, and subscription management, making it easy for businesses to activate new business models, enter new markets, turn on new offerings, and renew subscriptions without friction and we handle compliance globally, so our Sellers always operate with full integrity.

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.
