About Programa
Programa is a fast-growing venture-backed startup building the operating system for the design industry. Founded in 2020 out of Melbourne, Australia, our platform is purpose-built for interior designers and architects, replacing spreadsheets, PDFs, platform-switching, and scattered approvals with live tools that support every stage of a project.
Working across two verticals, Programa bridges designers and project stakeholders to centralise the entire conversation around design delivery. Studios use it to manage specifications, schedules, project tasks, and client communication - all in one place. It’s how the design industry moves faster, with more clarity and less chaos.
About the Role
We're looking for a Customer Support Specialist to deliver fast, personal, high-quality support to the designers who rely on Programa every day. Live Chat is at the heart of how we support our users - not just as a channel, but as an experience. Every interaction is an opportunity to solve a problem, build trust, and make someone's day easier.
This is not a scripted support role. You'll own conversations end-to-end, adapt your approach to each user, and bring clarity to complex problems. You'll also help improve our AI assistant and maintain a robust Help Centre, ensuring our customers can find great support - with or without a human.
Responsibilities
- Deliver responsive, personalised support via live chat and email, owning each conversation from start to finish.
- Deeply understand our product so you can solve issues, guide users, and provide clarity quickly and confidently.
- Set the bar for tone, accuracy, and efficiency in every interaction — our support should feel as thoughtful as our product.
- Collaborate with Product, Design and Engineering to escalate bugs, share feedback, and push for improvements.
- Review and fine-tune AI-generated replies, helping us train a support agent that complements — not replaces — the human experience.
- Maintain and improve help articles and self-serve resources, keeping them current, current, and useful.
- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement across the CX team — we’re always looking to raise the bar.
- Collaborate with Product and Marketing on new feature comms to platform users.
