First things first, support at Deskpro might be different to your typical customer support job. Deskpro makes a helpdesk platform; i.e. we make the software (SaaS) that thousands of other companies use themselves to provide customer support. What this means is that you’ll be supporting companies and organisations like Microsoft, HMRC, Valve Software, Panasonic, P&G, 1&1, Hotel Chocolat & the NHS provide incredible customer service to their own customers and stakeholders. This role is a great opportunity for someone who is a proactive and innovative achiever, likes to wear multiple hats, learn new technologies, experience the fast paced world of SaaS and who wants to become a key part of our growing team! We are currently ranked on the Deloitte Fast 500 and we have just moved into a new office in central Wimbledon, 4x the size of our old office, to allow for the expansion and growth of our team.
