Brief job description:

Estio Training have an exciting new opportunity for a Technical Support Engineer Apprentice with Advanced Commerce, a new B2B software company based in Mayfair, London, with offices across England.

You will take responsibility for all inbound support requests to the company – predominantly via email and IM. Responding in kind or organising video calls to explain where appropriate.

• You will become the leading internal expert on what the platform can do and how best to configure it to provide a range of options to the customers.
• Where possible you will directly answer the customers questions and solve their issues yourself. Where necessary you will escalate to the Software Engineering team and co-ordinate the response back to the customer.
• We are a small company so it’s likely that you will also be asked to get involved in testing, training, or other activities alongside the support role.
• Your feedback will be vital in shaping the order of product development to automate those things that will make the biggest difference to most customers first, and in the right way.
• This role is an immediate start to support the company’s recent investment and growth plans.
• We are looking for a capable, trustworthy multi-tasker with good attention to detail, excellent organisational abilities, and strong communication skills to fill a diverse role. This is an exciting opportunity for an organised and ambitious self-starter.

Your duties and responsibilities in this role will consist of:

• Ensuring that all requests are responded to in a complete and timely way.
• Matching customers’ requirements to the ever-increasing capabilities of the system.
• Being the face of the company to the customer, communicating in a friendly but professional manner and winning hearts and minds.
• Feedback for the product management process to ensure that customer’s suggestions are incorporated into the roadmap.
• Flexible for non-UK hours too on the odd occasion.

Qualifications:

• 5 GCSEs grades A*-C/9-4 or equivalent (including English Language and Maths)

Skills Required:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, together with a good level of numerical ability.
• Proactive self-starter that works well under pressure.
• Strong organisational skills with a keen eye for detail.

Personal qualities:

• Great team-work and interpersonal skills.
• 1-3 years in a customer facing support role.
• Previous experience of online merchandising would be amazing.
• An interest in technology and familiarity with modern web platforms and their capabilities.

Future prospects:

The role offers a permanent role upon completion of the apprenticeship depending on performance.
