Service Consultant, Onboarding

Please note, you must have the right to work in the USA in order to apply for this position. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a visa or sponsorship for this post.

This will be a remote working position. You will need to be based in a Central or Eastern USA timezone to apply.

THE ULTIMATE OPPORTUNITY

Imagine a virtual customer service agent that works 24/7, speaks 109 languages, and instantly and intelligently gives customers the answers they’re looking for.

You don’t need to imagine because that’s Ultimate - the customer support automation platform you won’t outgrow. And, since we were acquired by Zendesk in March 2024, we’ve become even more powerful. Together with Zendesk we’re joining forces to build the world’s most advanced AI agents in CX.

Powered by industry-leading AI, a laser-focus on CX and a world-class team across the globe, we’re committed to bringing joy and innovation to customer service. With customers regularly ranking us #1 on G2, it’s no wonder some of the best brands in the world have already scaled their digital support with Ultimate - from Taskrabbit to Trade Republic, Zalando to Finnair.

THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION FOR YOUR CAREER

At Ultimate, and within Zendesk, careers accelerate. New opportunities arise as the company is constantly evolving and our culture means that everyone has a seat and a voice at the table. You’ll learn from some of the best and brightest minds, as well as having the opportunity to show us your brilliance and see the impact of your work. We truly offer career-defining opportunities.

Our Nordic roots have created a culture where we can all lead by example and shape the company - and industry - we want to see, together. Between Ultimate’s startup mindset and Zendesk’s resources and years of experience, you get an unstoppable combination of talent, innovation, and support to drive your career to new heights.

THE ULTIMATE ROLE:

Onboarding is one of the most critical moments in the Customers life-cycle with Ultimate. This is where all that we’ve assured them through the sales process is put to the test. A great, good or bad experience will have a huge impact on the success of the customer and the joy we can bring to their customer support.

Working as part of our Professional Services function, Ultimate Service Consultants clarify the customers objectives, define the project scope and guide them through an onboarding experience that translates business needs and processes into product/technical solutions with defined outcomes.
