Ready to level up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place. Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

What's the opportunity?

With the advent of AI, the nature of customer support has changed dramatically - as have the humans who provide it. Our next Technical Support Specialist will be someone who thrives in autonomy, is deeply curious, fluent in AI tools and holds an extremely high bar not just for themselves, but for their teammates.

As a Technical Support Specialist, you'll own complex technical queries around some of our most nuanced features, serve as a point of escalation for your colleagues for the most tricky investigations, consistently provide world class customer support, collaborate with our customers proactively to help them make the most of our platform and help drive improvements in product, processes, and peer development. You'll use AI tools alongside your own expertise to handle complex cases efficiently and play a role in shaping a culture of continuous improvement. We ship product updates consistently, so if constant learning excites and energises you, this environment will suit you well!

If this is the kind of role that excites you, then we want you as our next Technical Support Specialist.

This position will be hybrid with the expectation to work from the office 3 days a week and work from home the remaining 2 days of the week. You are welcome to work from the office full-time if that is preferred.
