About Us

Bookwhen is a flexible and affordable booking solution that's used by thousands of customers worldwide. We support a diverse range of customers - from yogis to alpaca walkers and from potters to large multi-nationals, we cover lots of bases! They all make our world a more colourful place and helping our customers turn their passion into a business is our biggest motivator. Our small team is made up of passionate and autonomous people with an entrepreneurial mindset. We're a group of creative thinkers focussed on quality, excellence and collaboration.




What’s the job?

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced customer support individual to join our team full time. We’re looking for someone who is technically minded as well as empathetic and is comfortable owning all aspects of Bookwhen customer support interactions, including live chat, email, phone calls and social media contact.

As the face of Bookwhen you will be maintaining our excellent service reputation and helping our customers get the most from the product. You’ll be triaging bugs, passing development requirements on to the product team and communicating with developers on new releases and developer tasks.

Our working hours are Mon - Fri, 9:00am - 5:30pm GMT and we support customers in many countries and timezones. A typical day on support will involve answering how-to questions, investigating issues our customers are experiencing and speaking with leads who are browsing the website. Every week you will spend 4 days on support and one day off to focus on any follow-ups, help documentation, training and other projects. As well as regular check-ins with your line manager, you'll also take part in a short daily stand-up with the whole team.
