We're looking for a Support Specialist to support our customers with complex UK payroll related queries or issues. We believe excellent customer care is just as critical as fantastic technology, and you will help our customers feel supported to make the correct decisions during their payroll cycle.
We're committed to building a team capable of building a product for everyone, representing different and varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, disability, and just about anything else.

The role ​

You will ensure problems are solved quickly and efficiently and you will provide advice to customers around ‘all things payroll’. When in Onboarding, you will manage the process for new customers joining Pento, helping build out the platform to their needs and also gather all their data to perform parallel runs so they get to value impact as soon as possible!
