At Slick, a DaySmart company, we've built a smart booking platform and digital business partner for salons and barbers that is revolutionising how industry professionals interact with technology to improve their workflow and enhance their customers’ experience.
Today, 65% of salons still use pen & paper to run their business and only 10% of bookings are made online. Compare that to how you book taxis, hotels & restaurants! The beauty sector has yet to be transformed by technology and it is our mission to change that.
We have an exciting opportunity to join our growing Customer Experience team supporting our Slick platform as a Customer Support Specialist. This is not a scripted support role.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys problem solving, investigating issues and understanding how software behaves under the hood. You’ll spend your day helping customers via Live Chat, WhatsApp and phone support, while also digging into bugs, reproducing issues and working closely with Product and Engineering to improve the platform.
The ideal person is calm under pressure, technically curious and genuinely enjoys figuring things out.
This is a hybrid, UK-based position — you'll be in our Central London office on Wednesdays and Thursdays and remote the rest of the week.

We’d love someone who
