The Opportunity:

As a Customer Support Consultant, you will play a significant role in Performio providing world class support to our customers. With our tried and tested onboarding process, you will soon become familiar with the Performio product and company.

You will draw on previous support experience to monitor for new support requests in Zendesk, provide initial triage with 1st and 2nd level support, ensuring the customer is kept up to date and the request is completed within a timely manner.

You will collaborate with other teams to ensure more complex requests are managed efficiently and will provide feedback to help improve product and solution knowledge as well as processes.

Answers to questions asked by customers that are not in the knowledge base will be reviewed and added to the knowledge base if appropriate. We’re looking for someone who thinks ahead, recognising opportunities to help customers help themselves.

You will help out with configuration changes and testing, furthering your knowledge and experience of Performio. You may also be expected to help out with managed service tasks and other support tasks from time to time.

Benefits

Why us?

We’re fast-growing, but still small enough for everyone to make a big impact (and have face time with the CEO). We genuinely care for our customers and we are passionate about solving our customers’ sales compensation challenges. Led by a strong set of company values, we play to win and are incentivized to succeed through our employee equity plan.

We’ve adapted well to the work from home lifestyle, and encourage flexible working arrangements. Some of our staff work full time from home, while others prefer working from one of our offices, or a combination of home and office.

Our values speak strongly to who we really are. They mean a lot to us, and we use them every day to make decisions, and of course to hire great people!

• Play to win - we focus on results, have a bias to action and finish what we start
• Paint a clear picture - we’re clear, concise and communicate appropriately
• Be curious - we surface alternative solutions and consistently expand our knowledge
• Work as one - we all pitch in but also hold each other to account
• Do the right thing - we put what’s right for our customers over our own ego

Don’t check every box in our job description? That’s ok! As the Harvard Business Review points out, research conducted by Hewlett Packard shows that men typically apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and those from marginalized groups tend to only apply when they feel they meet 100%. If you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet all of the requirements listed in the job description, please still reach out. We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit!
