## 🛠The Role: Senior Product Support
As a strategic member of our Product Support Team, ***you'll ensure the highest level of support to the Aula partner community***. Thinking critically around the services and support, and challenging the status quo to drive customer satisfaction is what you'll do best.
By developing an expert-level knowledge of the entire Aula platform, you'll ensure all our users receive the same, outstanding level of support during low and peak seasons. You'll thrive to achieve the highest level of quality possible and will coach and educate the wider Product Support Team and our educator community to encourage engagement.
We are one of the fastest-growing Higher Education platforms in Europe, we currently have a 50k (and growing) community of Aula users. We work under the model of 'following the sun' so support is there for our clients 24/7. We believe that support is not a cost centre for us, but it's a strategic advantage!
- We on average ***solve 500 tickets per day, with a median 30-minute first-reply time and 2 hour resolution time***.
- Recently, we discovered an issue that wasn't directly our fault around student enrollment. We put together a new way to fix it, and in less than a week had fixed over 2000 enrollment issues so that students weren't blocked from learning.
This is an opportunity to think big and impact the way we support our customers from day 1! This role will give you the opportunity to be the strategic voice of our users and helps us build the world's best product support function ever.
***In this role, you will;***
- Communicate best practices ensuring our users’ needs are met using the Aula platform to improve user satisfaction.
- Ensure all users receive the same, outstanding level of support during low and peak seasons, delivering mind-blowing support with the highest level of quality to exceed our users’ expectations taking a minimum of 30 tickets/day whilst maintaining CSAT above 94%.
- Coach other team members on quality to constantly exceed personal and team goals.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot product issues/bugs and apply creative solutions for resolution/workarounds independently.
- Coach and educate users via training to encourage engagement.
- Make specific recommendations to significantly reduce ticket volume.
- Change the operations of other teams through feedback and escalation of issues.
- Provide input on processes to drive efficiencies (automation, content etc.)
- Run and communicate small cupcakes to improve team effectiveness.
# **We’d love to hear from you if… 🔍**
You have
- A **technical aptitude** for, and experience troubleshooting web applications and mobile applications in a Saas environment. (It would be great if you had a basic understanding of APIs)

- Experience creating and delivering training.
- Used Zendesk before.
- Worked closely with product teams.
- Excellent problem solving and analytical skills with great attention to detail.
