User Support Specialist

At Beam, you get to do work that really matters. We’re solving the world’s toughest social problems. And we’re growing fast 🚀

It’s not easy. Nothing worth doing ever is. But we take care of everyone who works here with everything from coaching to personal budgets and pay highly competitively.

You’ll be joining a company that’s having a huge impact on people’s lives with a culture where you can be yourself, have fun and progress.

You'll be:

  • Helping new users get set up: showing new users how Magic Notes works in 121 and small group settings, both online and in-person.
  • Providing magical customer support: supporting users with quick, friendly support for customer queries across email, phone, video and live chat.
  • Building and maintaining clear support documentation: ensuring users can access information quickly and easily through simple support documentation, tutorials and FAQs.
  • Solving problems: using your in-depth product knowledge to solve issues and effectively triage to product, engineering and customer success.
  • Collaborating proactively to improve Magic Notes: working with product and customer success teams to continually improve the experience for our customers by sharing feedback and insights from users.

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

  • Friendly, clear and engaging communicator - you can craft clear, concise emails as effortlessly as you can connect with users on video and in-person training sessions.

  • Patient and empathetic - you’ll need strong listening skills, patience and the ability to make complex concepts easy to understand as you support users to navigate a brand-new technology.

  • A strong multi-tasker - you’ll need to be comfortable managing numerous customer queries simultaneously and regularly switching contexts while maintaining excellent attention to detail.

  • A speedy learner - you can quickly process new information, understand product features and grasp new technologies.

  • Curious and proactive - you love digging into new problems, never let things go unresolved and enjoy working with others to get to the root of a problem.

  • Adaptable and resilient - you’re someone who’s energised by ever-changing and fast-paced environments.
