Live curious. Be inventive and imaginative. The business was built on curiosity and let’s face it, a crazy idea. If you can push on and push out of your comfort zone you could be the spark behind the next one.

- Kindness is magic: Nothing good happens until other people feel good. Whether that’s our families, our colleagues, our customers or our community. We will always strive to maintain our generosity of spirit by staying compact enough to care and focused on what and who matters most. Caring for people and doing the right thing in the right way deserves to be celebrated.

Job Role & Requirements
Beyond managing complex customer cases, the Senior Technical Support Advisor is responsible for improving the overall performance of the Customer Care team. The role combines expert first-line technical support with the development of the systems that underpin the department, including SLA performance, triage processes, HubSpot workflows, the knowledge base and CRM data quality.
The Senior Advisor focuses on solving root causes rather than symptoms—building scalable processes, documenting solutions and reducing repeat issues. The role also provides day-to-day leadership through coaching Technical Support Advisors, carrying out quality checks and acting as the first point of escalation before matters reach the Head of Customer Care.
Responsibilities
1. Customer Support & Technical Resolution
- Provide first-line technical support via phone, email and WhatsApp, using the phone as the primary method of resolving customer issues.
- Diagnose and resolve faults relating to refrigeration, temperature control, pumps, filtration
- Take ownership of complex or sensitive customer cases, resolving wherever possible before escalating with a clear handover.
- Deliver responsive support for commercial customers where downtime has operational impact.
2. Technical Expertise
- Troubleshoot hardware, software, electrical, plumbing and connectivity issues with confidence.
- Guide customers through diagnostics in a clear and reassuring manner.
- Interpret technical documentation, fault logs and service records to identify root causes.
- Maintain accurate and detailed customer records within HubSpot.
3. Systems, SLA & Process Improvement
- Help drive team performance against SLA targets for response and resolution times.
- Maintain and improve HubSpot workflows, ticket routing, triage logic and escalation processes.
- Ensure CRM data quality supports accurate reporting and future AI-assisted support.
- Identify recurring issues and improve processes to reduce repeat contacts and unnecessary engineer call-outs.
4. Knowledge Management
- Support with development and maintenance of troubleshooting guides, FAQs, decision trees and support documentation.
- Ensure customer-facing guidance remains accurate, safe and up to date.
- Monitor first-contact resolution trends to continually improve self-service resources.
5. Customer Experience
- Deliver a calm, professional and empathetic customer experience across all communication channels.

- Coach and mentor Technical Support Advisors through call shadowing, ticket reviews and knowledge sharing.
- Carry out quality checks and provide constructive feedback.
- Assist with onboarding new team members and provide first-line escalation support.
Skills & Experience
Proven experience in a first-line technical support or customer service role, ideally phone-based and consumer/commercial hardware or connected-device related.
- Experience troubleshooting mechanical, electrical or connected products is highly desirable.
- Some hands-on experience with HubSpot or a comparable CRM/help desk platform — configuring pipelines, ticket statuses or SLA timers, not just working within one someone else built — is a strong advantage.
- Some experience contributing to or owning knowledge base/documentation content is a strong advantage.
- Some experience mentoring, coaching or informally leading colleagues — this is a step toward supervisory responsibility, not a requirement for prior formal management.
