  • Reducing ticket escalation volume through proactive troubleshooting, clear communication, and strong product knowledge
  • Enhancing the customer experience by contributing to process improvements, product feedback, and support documentation

  • Responding to and resolving customer tickets, calls and queries related to the Employment Hero Platform in a timely manner
  • Assisting and collaborating with the wider squad and support team to provide best‑practice system use and education to all our customers
  • Proactively analysing and understanding product functionality across the platform and logic in detail, testing in platforms to identify user error / system logic and related root causes, while maintaining comprehensive awareness of product changes and enhancements
  • Conducting, triaging customer support issues and assigning to the appropriate team or resolving where possible
  • Taking on client and team payroll escalations for our customers
  • Assisting with requirements gathering to run post‑mortems and run internal support team workshops
  • Escalating issues related to bugs or product logic / functionality concerns as necessary, in collaboration with Seniors / Team Leads and the Product Team
  • Working with customers across multiple channels (email, chat, phone, screen share) to understand their organisational workflow and how the platform can support them to maximise their people processes
  • Managing problem tickets with urgency and collaborating with key stakeholders to resolve as quickly as possible
  • Leveraging ZenDesk, Salesforce and other internal tools for maintaining records, ticket investigations and referencing customer interactions, transactions, comments, and complaints in accordance with service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Proactively contributing feature requests, Customer Care Processes, macros and Help Centre suggestions, where warranted and using customer insights
  • Who you are

    To thrive at Employment Hero, you will embody The EH Way – operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you will also bring :

  • Relevant Australian and / or New Zealand payroll knowledge and industry experience
  • Previous experience in setting up, implementing and / or administrating payroll systems (knowledge of EH Payroll / KeyPay is a plus)
  • Exposure to working in fluid, high‑change and high‑velocity environments
  • Prior exposure to customer experience within a SaaS (Software as a Service) environment
  • An attitude that always puts your customer's needs first
  • Problem‑solving skills with a sound and thorough approach to troubleshooting
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, working autonomously; requesting assistance where needed
  • Strong and polished verbal and written communication skills
  • What we can offer

    At Employment Hero, we don’t just talk about a better way to work – we live it. Joining Employment Hero means :

  • You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
  • You will access cutting‑edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outcomes

  • You’ll own ESOP (employee share options) in one of the world’s fastest‑growing tech companies
  • You’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits that include a very generous paternity leave policy, subsidised egg freezing (so you can make the choice that’s right for you, on your terms), a WFH office expense budget, and outstanding learning & development opportunities
  • At Employment Hero, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your application data. To understand how we do so, you can read our Applicant Privacy Policy here employmenthero.com / legals / applicant‑policy / .
