Technical Support Specialist

Help make the web better for everyone

We’re a fast‑growing, profitable, self‑funded SaaS platform with 4.8★ customer love and a 4.9★ team score. Right now, we build software that helps organisations create accessible, fast, high-quality websites. Our customers include Fortune 500 Global companies, universities, local and state government agencies, and so much more.

We’re hiring a hands-on Technical Support Specialist who is the first technical point of contact for customers and a central partner for internal teams. You’ll combine frontline support with internal enablement: building triage tools, playbooks, and short trainings that help colleagues diagnose and resolve common issues independently, while ensuring complex cases are cleanly escalated to our developers.

Where you will work

You will spend 3 days per week in our Birmingham office on Colmore Row, with the remaining days for focused work. We value time together for coaching, collaboration, and learning from one another. We also operate globally with teams in the US, Denmark, Germany, and Australia.

Frontline support

• Own cases from first contact to resolution across Intercom, email, and video, setting expectations and meeting SLAs.

Troubleshooting and escalation

• Reproduce issues across browsers, devices, and environments, then provide solutions or safe workarounds.

• Document steps to reproduce, impact, and escalate to Product and Development when needed.

• Validate fixes and confirm outcomes with customers and stakeholders.

Enablement and best practice

• Guide customers and colleagues with practical tips and short walkthroughs.

• Build and maintain internal playbooks and quick-reference triage checklists that reduce unnecessary escalations.
