Customer Support Specialist

MySchool is a web-based platform that helps schools organise their data, streamline their processes and engage with their communities. We’ve been around for 15 years and help over 200 schools worldwide with their daily needs. Whereas we are involved in large and long-term contracts with governments and multinational organisations, we want to outgrow our regional player status to become a global force in the EdTech industry.

We are a team that is passionate about education and providing the best solutions for administrators, students, and parents alike. Our team is collaborative, fun, and always looking for new and innovative ways to improve the lives of the people we serve. We’re proud of our work/life balance, the diversity and inclusiveness of our team, its drive and professional calibre. Everyone in the company has access to a well-being budget, a self-development budget and a work-from-home budget.

We are seeking a Customer Support Specialist who excels at clear communication and thrives on helping customers solve challenges, all while delivering exceptional service. You’ll be the first point of contact for schools using our platform, assisting them via calls and Zendesk tickets. Your ability to provide solutions in an empathetic, patient manner will be key to fostering trust and satisfaction.

Your role will involve troubleshooting technical issues, providing step-by-step guidance, and ensuring that users can fully leverage the platform’s features. You’ll simplify technical details and make sure every customer interaction is positive, empowering schools to succeed in using our technology.

Working closely with our Customer Success Managers (CSMs), you'll escalate issues that may affect ongoing client relationships, ensuring they’re resolved quickly and efficiently. Your collaboration with the CSM team will be vital in maintaining smooth communication and a seamless experience for our schools.
