About the role:
To keep moving in the direction (and the speed) we want, we're going to need someone who truly understands the importance of great customer experience. As a Customer Experience Consultant, you are responsible for providing both reactive & proactive support and services to Unleashed customers throughout their life cycle with us. Some of our customers are managed via an implementation partner and so you will also provide support to these partners as they deliver services on our behalf.
Your day-to-day:

- You must be able to learn & keep learning the nature of inventory & supply chain management practices in our target industries & the wider ecosystem of other solutions that integrate with Unleashed.
- A Customer centric view should be central to your interactions, and you’ll work with the wider team and senior colleagues as they deliver on boarding services and help our business users to get established with Unleashed.
- As the ‘customer voice’ you may participate in product management & product testing activities and you’ll be encouraged to develop knowledge specialisation in the customer industries, business models and processes.
Skills and Experience:
- To be successful you will ideally have at least two years of experience providing phone and email support to external customers, with preferably at least one year providing support for an accounting system/software.
- Zendesk experience or similar systems (intercom)
- You’ll have experience managing the customer’s expectations and have the ability to acknowledge when these customers problems need to be escalated
- Experience communicating with people from all walks of life will also be vital to success as will a strong command of the English language (both written and verbal). Fluency in other languages will also be beneficial!
- Experience in troubleshooting software
- The ability to take ownership and use your own initiative
- Understanding of API and integrations will be a benefit
- Very strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to proactively manage stakeholder expectations
- Attention to detail and follow up will be second nature
- A++ Communication - listening, understanding and empathising is second nature.
- Well organized, and able to effectively prioritize workloads and focus on what is important
- Personality plus! As the first point of contact you’ll need to smile down the phone
- Technologically savvy
- An understanding of accounting principles & systems (exposure to QuickBooks/Xero desirable)
