Customer Support Specialist – German speaker

parcelLab, the leading Operations Experience Management platform, is growing internationally, and fast! We’re looking for the best talent from across the world to help us bring people and brands closer together.

We are looking for a full-time Customer Support Specialist (German Speaker) to join our Customer Operations team.

The Customer Operations Team is a key part of the great parcelLab service we deliver to our customers. The team plays a vital role in making sure our clients have a parcelLab deployment that works on a day-to-day basis and that any questions a customer has are answered quickly and efficiently.  We pride ourselves on delivering excellent service to our customers and we’re pretty good at it too; we build long lasting relationships with our customers, and we have industry leading customer retention, and we only want that to improve!

As a digital first company, we offer greater flexibility in working location. Therefore, you can work from one of our offices in London or Munich or remotely within the UK or Germany.

Your daily tasks:

• • You take ownership of 1st line support requests. You will quickly understand the challenge facing the customer and answer any questions they may have.
  • You own the customer’s request and manage their expectations with clear and concise communication via our ticketing platform and the occasional (virtual) meeting.
  • You will visualize and adapt communication concepts and customer documents.
  • In the case you’re not able to solve an issue, you’ll have an internal team of Technical Support Engineers standing ready to jump in and work with you to get clear timelines for a fix and manage the customer expectations.
  • Whenever you see an opportunity for a customer to be getting further value from parcelLab, you will pass this insight over to the relevant Customer Success Manager for them to take care of anything commercial.
  • Our Customer Team is vital to our ongoing success; therefore, you are proactively and reactively identifying possibilities to develop our product further. When handing those opportunities over to the Product Team, you can demonstrate the business value of the opportunity.

What you need to succeed:

• • 3 years of experience in providing Customer Support or Technical Support for SaaS products.
  • You are comfortable working directly with customers and enjoy connecting with them.
  • Outstanding project, stakeholder and expectation manager.
  • Interested in learning new technical and programming skills and languages.
  • Totally comfortable with speaking to and managing customer requests along with expectation management.
  • Understanding of how e-commerce and last mile logistics work. You don’t need to be an expert yet, but you will have to become one.
  • Data-driven: both in supporting customers in their decisions, but also in demonstrating your own contribution.
  • Fluent in English and German, any additional language is a plus.
