Job Description

Join our Global Operations Team, supporting our Fitness & Wellbeing customers as a Software Support Team Lead in Melbourne to help shape the way we support our customers, one interaction at a time. Every conversation, every ticket, and every solution is another opportunity to enrich our customers’ experiences.

• Stay current with software updates and product enhancements, empowering your team through regular training and development.
• Continuously improve key metrics such as ticket resolution times and SLA adherence.
• Standardise and optimise support processes across all channels—phone, chat, and email—while reporting on performance and satisfaction metrics.

For this position, we offer a hybrid and flexible working model, where you will spend 2 days per week in the office and 3 working from home.
