About us
Joining Busuu means being part of one of the top EdTech companies in the world, a multiple award-winner recognised for its innovation and impact in language learning. Busuu’s vision is to empower people through languages. We are the world’s largest online community for language learning, with 120+ million registered users. We make learning a language easy by combining AI-powered courses with feedback from our global community of native speakers and lesson content designed for real life.

The role
We are looking for a motivated and talented Customer Service Representative to handle some of our customers’ queries, in English and French or German or Turkish. You are responsible for responding to our users’ queries on email, making sure you hit the team’s SLAs and meet a high level of customer satisfaction.
You have demonstrable experience of providing excellent customer service, and a natural ability to put yourself in the customer’s shoes and sense what could make the difference for Busuu’s success and reputation. You have excellent written communication in the languages mentioned above, strong customer service skills, and the ability to upsell without being too pushy. You know when to escalate a case to your manager, asking for support when needed and highlighting new trends and issues, in order for Busuu to improve its service in a timely manner.

Your tasks will mostly consist in:
- Managing incoming queries in a timely manner.

- Identifying and assessing customer’s needs to achieve satisfaction.
- Logging new bugs for our Technical and Education team to fix.
- Handling customer complaints, providing appropriate solutions and alternatives within the time limits, follow up to ensure resolution.

- Escalating and sharing new issues with your peers and manager.
- Following our guidelines, policies and procedures, but being able to share ideas with your manager to always improve the team’s processes.
