ABOUT THE ROLE 🤓

We’re looking for someone to join our team as our Client Support Rep.

Most of this will be text based via email (in FreshDesk) and a Forum Based Community and will be supporting two separate parts of our business.

The first part is our core membership and includes tickets around billing, portal access, content questions, bugs etc.

And, the second part is to support a complete Sales & Marketing Automation platform that we give our members for free - we provide first level support for our members use of the platform.

(this platform is called Growably and is built on the High-Level Platform)

Here’s some of what you’ll be doing day to day:

• Answering Inbound Helpdesk Queries in Freshdesk & our Community, providing quick, friendly & helpful support experiences to our members
• Escalating Issues to our Development Team, Admin Team & External Vendors when needed and managing them through to completion
• Maintaining and Improving our existing FAQ System at https://help.thetechtribe.com
• Helping manage the CEO’s Inbox, which mostly has Helpdesk style tickets in it as well since we use that email address to send our Marketing Campaigns
• Adding, Improving and Updating any SOPs for any tasks we repeat more than once. We have a culture of documentation to help us deliver awesome experiences and avoid missing important things.

Initially you’ll be working closely with another team member to help you get up to speed with all our systems and how we do things (don’t worry we won’t throw you in the deep end 😜).

There is typically between 2-4 hours of work needed per day, so this is ideal for someone such as a stay at home parent not looking for a full-time role and needing flexible hours.

The role will be paid per hour and we’ll negotiate this rate with you. We always pay above local standards for our team members wherever they are in the world and we strive to make sure our team are very happy with what they earn and the impact they have in our business and with our members.

We’re looking for an immediate start, however we can be flexible by 1-2 weeks if you need to give an existing employer some notice.

ABOUT YOU 😁

You’ll thrive in this role if:

• You love to deliver awesome levels of support to people. We often do things such as send physical apology gifts to our members [e.g. books etc] whenever they have a less than stellar experience.
• You enjoy working a-synchronously (we have very few meetings and interact mostly via text chat)
• You’re overly communicative, we all default to being verbose in our interactions rather than short
• You enjoy hunting for solutions to challenging issues and are happy to ask for help when you can’t find the answer in a reasonable time
• You have two hours of overlap with the Sydney, Australia time-zone (9am-5pm), especially in the first few months. This need will taper off as you get up to speed with the role.
• You have previous experience with a Marketing or Sales Automation Platform (e.g. InfusionSoft/Keap, Hubspot, ActiveCampaign, MailChimp, High-Level etc). This one is not necessary as we can train you, but any previous experience will be a great bonus.
• You’re very detailed and don’t miss the minor things. To help us work out whether this is you, please mention the word “struth” somewhere in your application (it’s an Aussie slang word, haha)]
• You’re not looking for a fast growth, startup style business with huge career progression opportunities. We are more a “slow and steady” business having only grown to 10 team members in 7 years. There is however the chance to move up to a more Operational level from this role as we grow.
• You’re looking to settle into a role for 3+ years
• Finally, if you consider yourself a bit geeky, you’ll fit right in 🤓
