Position : Customer Success Specialist
Salary : 1500 - 2,000 NZD
Working Hours & Conditions : NZ Business Hours
About the Company
Company helps associations and not-for-profits turn their expertise into learning that deepens member impact and sustains their mission. Our learning management platform supports professional bodies, member organizations and NFPs across New Zealand, Australia and, increasingly, North America.
We're a small, close-knit team that lives by three values:
● Radically Simple — complexity is the enemy of engagement, so we keep our software, services and processes simple, letting customers focus on their mission, not their tech.
● Joyfully Human — we bring warmth and personality to everything we do, because great software should come with great humans behind it.
● In Your Corner — we're partners, not just suppliers. We champion our customers' success, lift them up when they struggle and celebrate loudly when they win.
About the Role:
We're looking for a Customer Success Specialist who loves variety and takes real ownership. You'll be the friendly, capable face of companies for the customers - answering their questions, helping prospects see what's possible, checking in on how members are learning, and telling our story through content.
You'll report to our Head of Customer Success and will often be the person on the spot when a customer needs help. We'll give you thorough training and ongoing support, and as your confidence grows, so will your responsibilities.
Hours: Full time, with flexibility to overlap New Zealand and Australian business hours, and openness to working US West Coast hours as our North America customer base grows.
What you'll do
Customer support (est. 40% of time)
● Respond to learner and admin queries by email and our help desk, quickly and warmly
● Troubleshoot platform questions such as course setup, enrolments, SCORM uploads, reporting and integrations
● Spot recurring issues and suggest fixes to our help content, processes or product team
Account management (est. 30% of time)
● Run new-customer onboarding using companys Time to Value (TTV) process — getting each association from contract to first live course and first learners enrolled as quickly as possible.
● Run regular check-ins with customers to understand their goals and how they're using the service
● Monitor usage/health signals in HubSpot and the company's admin dashboards, flag at-risk accounts ahead of renewal, prepare renewal-support material, and log churn reasons.
● Help customers get more value from the platform, from onboarding through to renewal
● Keep our CRM (HubSpot) accurate and up to date
Sales support (est. 15% of time)
● Run tailored product demos for associations and NFPs
● Follow up with prospects after demos, answer questions and keep deals moving
Marketing and content support (est. 15% of time)
● Help write blog posts, customer newsletters and social media posts
● Create simple collateral such as guides, case studies and how-to resources
● Share customer wins and stories that show what associations can achieve with learning
