Customer Support Associate

We are looking for a Customer Support Associate to join the Square Australia Customer Success team. The Customer Success team works with Square sellers (merchants) by phone and email, to solve problems, demonstrate how to get the most out of Square, and always improve our Square products by giving feedback to Square Product teams. Reporting to the Lead, Customer Success, you’ll support our diverse Square seller base across Australia.

You may have current experience providing customer service in hospitality, retail, or another customer-focused role. You will work with your lead and Square teammates to develop a career in a technology company, better understand the unique challenges faced by Australian (and international) small business owners, and help promote long-term success for Square in Australia.

This role can be based in either our Melbourne or Sydney offices through a hybrid of in-office and remote working, but also remotely anywhere on the east coast of Australia. Multiple positions are available.

You will:

• Spend the majority of your day (up to 80% of your shift) working with Square sellers by handling inbound phone inquiries in a fast-paced environment
• Apply creative problem solving to seller inquiries with the support of your partners, resource and leadership
• Identify, document, take ownership of sellers' issues and see problems through to resolution, escalating feature requests
• Analyse trends in sellers issues and suggest improvement ideas and plans
• Work with internal Squares and our Square Australia sellers with empathy, being willing to seek different perspectives, take principled risks and have a focus on inventing and learning
• Occasionally work on public holidays to support our Square Australia sellers

You have:

• The ability to work with Australia-based sellers in English (writing and phone), and global Square colleagues in English (reading, writing and video meetings)
• Experience working in a customer support role or a background in hospitality, retail or a customer-facing role
• Comfort with ambiguity and resilient when facing rapid change
• Problem-solving skills - you enjoy digging into a problem and finding a solution
• The soft skills to engage with sellers over the phone, asking questions and offering solutions for their business
• The ability to tailor a custom customer support experience to address the unique requirements of individual Square sellers
• A strong interest in receiving and implementing feedback and focus on improvement
• A passion for Square and desire to help sellers
