ABOUT LIGHT

Light is an AI-native finance ERP and general ledger platform, replacing legacy systems like NetSuite and Oracle for modern finance teams. We win not just on product, but on a fundamentally better customer experience, finance-expert, white-glove, and delivered where the customer already works. We're backed by investors including Balderton, Atomico, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp and Entrée Capital, and advised by the former CTO of Workday Financials and the Chief Architect of SAP S/4HANA.

THE ROLE

Our DACH customers need support in their own language, not just their own timezone. As our Customer Support Specialist (DACH), you'll be the first point of contact for German-speaking customers across email and chat, owning the day-to-day how-to and technical questions that keep their finance teams moving. You'll work alongside our senior Support cover and closely with Account Management on activation and retention. AI deflection handles the routine questions ahead of you; you own what actually needs a person.

- Identify customer needs and help customers get the most out of specific features

- Share feature requests and effective workarounds with the wider team

- Gather customer feedback and share it with our Account Managers, Product, Sales and Marketing teams

- Partner with our learning and development team to keep our help center articles accurate and current

- Keep constant communication with our external stakeholders and collaborators via chat and email

- Work closely with our Account Management team on customer activation and retention

- Take the extra mile, customers remember who went the extra step for them

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Must have

- At least 2 years of customer support experience

- Experience supporting customers in a B2B SaaS environment

- Fluent in German and English, spoken and written

- Experience working with a case or ticket management system (Intercom, Pylon, Zendesk, or similar)

- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

- Able to work independently and within a team

- A proactive attitude and strong attention to detail

- Genuinely excited to work in an AI-first environment, actively using AI tools to move faster, cut repetitive work and have more impact

- Comfortable multi-tasking across several customer conversations at once

Nice to have

- Background or experience in finance, accounting, or fintech

- Familiarity with ERP or accounting platforms (NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, Xero, or similar)

WHAT WE OFFER

💸 A competitive salary + stock options in our fast-growing start-up

🏝 Generous package of paid annual leave + public holidays

🎉 Regular socials and company off-sites

🏢 In-office amenities at our London hub

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

DACH is one of Light's fastest-growing markets, and this role is what makes our white-glove, AI-leveraged support model real for it. You're the person a German-speaking finance team turns to when something isn't working, and the reason they trust Light enough to keep growing with us.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
