Customer Support Specialist Remote

Player Data is looking for a technically-minded team player, with online customer-facing experience, to join our team as a Customer Support Specialist .

We pride ourselves on our ability to understand the customer’s perspective and fulfil their needs quickly and efficiently, so knowledge of soccer and other field sports is a must. The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator, be organised and possess high attention to detail. Experience working in sports science, sports tech or in another sports-related discipline would also be beneficial, but is certainly not essential (a love of the game is essential though!)

This is a shift-based role providing support to our global customer base across various communication channels, including call, chat and email. You will be helping to analyse and troubleshoot a varied range of problems faced by our customers, and will be responsible for handling front-line support tickets from initiation to a satisfactory resolution. In this role, you will be measured on your support fluency, responsiveness and effectiveness - meaning you will require a strong and applicable understanding of what high quality customer support should look like.

You will also be responsible for upholding data quality within our service platform, communicating and providing clarity in support to internal stakeholders and teams, and maintaining smooth escalation processes across all support interactions. You will need to be a good problem solver and quick on your feet to be able to respond to queries and resolve issues as efficiently as possible.

Passion for sport, good technical aptitude and a knack with people are an absolute must in this role.

Respond to customers across all support channels, and provide appropriate and effective assistance.

Efficiently, clearly and accurately investigate and resolve issues with the customer via the most suitable communication channel.

Develop and maintain a strong and communicable understanding of existing Player Data products and features, as well as any new ones when they are introduced.

Work closely with the other support team members, ensuring clarity in ticket ownership, communication and handovers.

Improve and maintain support information quality within our service platform and other relevant tools.

Follow up on open tickets to ensure a positive customer experience.

Onboard new customers.

Maintain a relationship and communicate customer feedback to any relevant internal teams.

Be an internal product guru, staying on top of all new features and releases and be able to provide internal support as well as customer-facing support.

Experience working in a customer facing role in the sports tech industry (or similar).

Strong understanding of soccer and other field sports.

Understanding of the applications of sports tech within a competitive team environment.

Experience working with customers internationally.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Able to provide specialist communication in a way that is understandable to all.

Proactive, adaptable and able to work with initiative.
