Job Description

Our Mission

The way companies reward their people today is broken - it's a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach that hasn't evolved to meet the demands of the modern workforce. How we work is changing, but compensation - salary, bonus, equity, benefits - has been stuck in the same place for decades. Ben is changing that, starting with employee benefits. Our mission is to make benefits and pay work for everyone, everywhere.

We have been featured in TechCrunch and Financial Times (to name a few) and we're super proud to be backed by some of Europe's leading VC funds including Atomico, Seedcamp, Cherry, and DN Capital and the people behind companies such as Indeed.com, Peakon, Personio, Wise, Workday, and GoCardless.

Your Mission

The operations team are at the heart of Ben, making sure the trains run on time and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement as we scale. Working on a variety of cross-functional tasks and projects, taking full ownership and giving you broad exposure across the business, our operations team is the foundation of our customer, product and internal operation.

What you’ll be working on

  • Ensure the timely delivery of a range of operational tasks and reporting for up to 20 Customers across Bens’ portfolio of clients.

  • Master all tasks and processes for the customers you service - ensuring all documentation and resources are up to date in our internal knowledge base (Notion).

  • Work closely with our Customer Support and Customer Success Managers to resolve inbound Custom Admin queries (2nd level support) and high-priority employee queries.

  • Support Customer Success Managers on Customer meetings, providing them with any data and feedback, providing relevant context to our Customers.

  • Work with the Product team to deliver bespoke reports requested by our customers, identifying any regular reports to automate.

  • Identify opportunities and areas to help streamline Bens’ existing workstreams and processes, collect feedback from Customers and share with the Operations and Product Teams.

  • Handle our customers’ data according to our confidentiality and security policies, sharing data with our brokers, insurance partners and customers, ensuring all our customers are set up with the correct product and services offered to them on Ben.

  • Perform regular audits of our customers’ data in order to ensure that there’s 100% accuracy and compliance.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Experience in an operational / customer support role in a B2B SaaS environment

  • Excellent English verbal and written communication skills is a must as you’ll be dealing with our customers, brokers and insurance partners

  • Good team player but also able to work individually with experience delivering tasks against deadlines.

  • The devil is in the detail - strong attention to detail is a must

  • Demonstrated success in working on cross-functional projects with ability to organise and prioritise workload.

  • Tech Savvy - Good knowledge of Google Sheets/Excel + comfortable learning new software tools

  • Ability to highlight pain points and work on solutions to problems.

  • Basic understanding of information security and how to apply it to sensitive customer data (GDPR).

Not essential but nice to haves

  • Experience using some project management or ticketing tools (JIRA, Zendesk, Monday, Trello or similar )

  • Advanced use of Excel, can use formulas to analyse data and build basic reporting

  • Worked in a start-up, scale-up business or fast paced environment

  • Demonstrated success in managing projects

Diversity and Culture at Ben

Our culture is ever-evolving and is defined by our people. We don’t hire clones, we hire individuals.

  • We celebrate diversity

  • We listen to our people

  • We work autonomously
    and...

  • We have fun!
