About the role

Do you enjoy having responsibility for the growth and value delivered to an entire customer base? Are you motivated by working closely with customers to solve their workflow and strategy challenges? Do you take pride in helping your customers succeed and constantly looking for opportunities to deliver value? As a Customer Support Manager at Karbon, you'll support our customers in their time of need. You'll function as the crucial link between customers, sales, and our product development teams.

As a Customer Support Manager, you will...

  • Provide support to our customers in the form of video and technical chat support, provide training on the Karbon platform to drive client satisfaction, and ensure that considerable value is realised by our customers on the platform in the first 90 days after sale.
  • Drive growth in existing customers 90 days after the sale by ensuring they are fully able to utilize all of Karbon's features and functionality by promoting awareness and adoption of our product.
  • Increase the participation in free service offerings such as the "Getting Started" and "Onboarding" webinar series.
  • Acquire and maintain a working knowledge of the value proposition of our platform as well as the existing and future needs of our customers.
  • Assist in the completion of customer-facing activities including updating client data, support resources, and support videos as needed.
  • Solve customers' problems by building partnerships, driving product and feature adoption, and ensuring that our customers actualize the value proposition from their investment. Be creative and adaptable in suggesting solutions to solve our clients' unique problems.
  • Accurately identify risk of customer churn and put value-add actions in place to mitigate possible churn. Develop a repeatable process and methodology that can be followed by others as Karbon expands.

About You Candidates with the following qualifications and experience are encouraged to apply:

  • **Tier 1-2 helpdesk experience **— preferably in a SaaS product environment
  • Customer service — since Customer Support Managers work directly with customers to solve end-user issues and answer questions, it's essential that you have strong customer service skills.
  • Prior experience with chat / support software (Intercom, Zendesk, etc.) — by nature, Customer Support Managers perform their day-to-day tasks on a computer. You must be able to use various software programs to check in with and respond to our customers via live chat services, etc.
  • Problem-solving skills — the ability to solve problems is just as integral to a Customer Support Manager's work as solid communication skills. When presented with a problem, Customer Support Managers must be able to find a solution quickly and efficiently, even if the customer is disgruntled or impatient.
  • Excellent communication skills — must be able to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely while giving consultative advice to help customers grow their performance.
  • A minimum of 3 to 5 years of industry experience in B2B SaaS businesses, accounting, professional services, training/education, or customer support.
