Software Support Lead

You’ll take ownership of the support function and processes, driving day-to-day support activities, improving workflows and ensuring issues are managed through to resolution

This is a low-volume, highly technical support environment where you’ll have the opportunity to really understand our customers' software implementations, server configurations and technical environments.
You’ll take ownership of the majority of task-based support requests, investigating issues, troubleshooting problems and working autonomously to find solutions. We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail rather than simply following a script.

Importantly, this role also has a strong testing mindset. You’ll use insights from customer support to help improve our testing and solution processes and, during quieter support periods, contribute to software testing from a user experience perspective.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide technical support to customers via phone, email and remote access.
• Own and manage technical support requests through to resolution.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot and investigate software and technical issues.
• Manage support cases using Zendesk, including workflows and automations.
• Work closely with Development and Engineering teams to resolve complex issues.
• Identify recurring issues and provide feedback to improve products and solutions.
• Contribute to software testing and QA activities, particularly from a customer and UX perspective.
• Assist with software installations, upgrades and configurations.
• Provide customer training on software features and functionality when required.
• Maintain accurate support documentation and contribute to knowledge articles and training materials.
• Keep customers informed with clear, timely and professional communication.
• Continuously build your technical knowledge of our products and customer environments.

What We're Looking For We’re looking for someone who is inquisitive, analytical and comfortable working independently.
You’ll ideally bring:

• 5+ years' experience in technical support, software support, QA/testing or a similar technical role.
• Experience with Zendesk, ideally including ticketing workflows and automations.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Good understanding of operating systems, databases and networking concepts.
• Exposure to software development, testing or QA processes.
• A strong attention to detail and a genuine tester mindset.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong customer service and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to investigate issues independently and take ownership from start to finish.
• A willingness to learn new technologies and understand complex customer environments.
• A relevant qualification in Computer Science, IT or a related discipline is preferred.

Only people with the right to live and work in New Zealand may apply for this role.
