Ready to do work that actually excites you?

You'll be responsible for turning customer problems into customer success. Trade businesses rely on client to run their day, so when something isn't working, you're the person who makes it right, fast. You'll handle front-line support across phone, email, chat, and ticket channels, resolving technical and product queries with accuracy and genuine care.

You'll partner closely with the Customer Support Lead, Product, and Engineering to surface patterns in customer issues and translate them into actionable feedback that makes Fergus better. You'll be expected to work confidently with the Fergus tech stack (including HubSpot and Intercom) and to use AI-powered tools with sound judgement to improve your speed and quality without compromising the customer experience.

Success in this role is measured by resolution quality, customer satisfaction, and the degree to which your work directly reduces repeat contacts and improves the product experience for our customers.

What You’ll DoYou’ll be the kind of person who:

  • Handle front-line customer enquiries across phone, email, live chat, and ticket channels, resolving issues accurately and to satisfactory completion.
  • Own the full ticket lifecycle in the support system, from initial triage through to resolution, follow-up, and closure.
  • Diagnose technical and non-technical product issues using structured problem-solving, and communicate root cause clearly to customers at their level of technical literacy.
  • Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, and Engineering to escalate, resolve, and close the loop on customer-reported issues.
  • Leverage the full CS tech stack (including HubSpot, Intercom, FIN and Fergus product data) to manage your support pipeline efficiently and deliver a more personalised customer experience.
  • Use approved AI-powered tools to assist with drafting communications, summarising customer session notes, and identifying recurring issue patterns to reduce manual effort without compromising quality.
  • Always review AI-generated outputs for accuracy and tone before they reach a customer, and only use tools approved by Fergus for handling customer data.
  • Stay current with emerging tools relevant to support and customer success; share observations and suggestions with the Customer Support Lead on what could improve team efficiency or reduce contact volume.
  • Produce and maintain Help Centre content (articles, videos, and product images) that reduces contact volume and empowers customers to self-serve.
  • Test product workflows and sample data sets to verify expected behaviour, feeding structured findings back to Engineering.
  • Identify and surface patterns in customer feedback that indicate product gaps, usability issues, or training needs, contributing to the team's voice-of-customer input to the product roadmap.

  • AI Usage & Application: Applies AI tools to support work with sound judgement and appropriate human oversight.
  • Baseline (required): Comfortable using AI tools daily for drafting responses, summarising session notes, and retrieving knowledge base content. Knows when AI output requires human review before sending to a customer, and only uses tools approved by Fergus for handling customer data.
  • Intermediate (strongly preferred): Uses AI to identify patterns across support tickets, generate first-draft Help Centre articles, and accelerate diagnosis of recurring issues. Provides structured feedback to the team on where AI tooling performs well and where it falls short.
  • Advanced (desirable): Contributes to evaluation of AI-assisted support tooling (including chatbot accuracy and deflection quality) and identifies opportunities to automate repetitive support workflows or improve self-service content.
