About LearnCube’s Support:
LearnCube is a leading edtech SAAS provider. Our Virtual Classroom and Online School platform makes it easy for language teachers and tutors to teach online professionally.
LearnCube’s customers are individual tutors, edupreneurs, online language schools and tutoring companies.
Support is provided via chat and email using Intercom. Support tickets will include requests for product information, sales/upgrade queries, problems/bugs experienced in a classroom, how-to’s and account/payment issues. Support documentation is published on our website via Intercom.
What you’ll do:
- Use our ticketing system (Intercom) to assist our variety of customers with any help they need to use our products successfully.
- Escalate issues that need help from another team member and keep tabs to make sure resolution is reached.
- Self-manage our SLA’s and prioritise support for different levels of customers.
- Troubleshoot customer issues, identify bugs, trends and areas for improvement.
- Create and update any customer-facing support documentation.
- Assist the Sales Team to onboard new customers using our Online School platform.

More about the role:
- Initial 3-month fixed term contract (remote position) followed by full-time contract if it goes well.
- This a remote position so there is no office. It would be a bonus if you are based in the UK or in the European Union where we have other team members. We'd possibly accept candidates from other countries in European timezones but you would have to really standout.
- Market-related, competitive salary with a generous vacation policy.
- Salary with company bonus.
Notes on the role:
- This is a 'spring-board' position and customer support will give you a strong foundation to grow your career into a leadership role (Chief Customer Officer, Chief People Officer, etc) and pursue other fields of interest such as sales, customer success, business management, product management... especially if you're excited by edtech. We'll also provide further opportunities to move inside the organisation as we grow.
- The reason we're more interested in candidates in UK or EU is that we have other team members living in UK/Europe and it would be a bonus if you could meet in-person for a catchup from time to time.
Criteria for a successful candidate:
- A clear, friendly, upbeat, fluent-English writing style.
- Demonstrate initiative;a self-starter with a proactive, positive attitude.
- Ability to self-educate;we work remotely and you’ll need to be able to spend some time learning on your own. But still be able to speak up and ask for help, clarification or support when needed.
- A curious mind that naturally troubleshoots problems with a knack for arriving at solutions and workarounds.
- Single-minded about calming chaos, setting up and following good processes to deliver consistently great work.
- Tech-savvy and familiarity with software tools - we use Intercom, Asana, GSuite, Slack daily (among others).
- You'd connect with our customers more if you've come from a teaching or tutoring background, so please highlight this in your application.
