What you’ll do:

As a Technical Support Advisor at Bókun, you will be part of the Escalation Team, playing a key role in diagnosing and resolving technical issues while ensuring a seamless customer experience. You will handle a diverse range of technical challenges — from troubleshooting complex incidents to investigating in-depth cases that require strong analytical thinking, mediation, and negotiation skills. Using all available tools and resources, you’ll accurately triage and resolve customer issues or escalate them to the appropriate teams as needed. This role involves managing inbound and outbound communication in English and Italian across multiple channels, including email, phone, video calls with screen sharing, and chat. You will be responsible for researching and replicating reported problems, raising detailed bug reports, and proactively following up on open tickets to ensure timely resolution. In addition, you’ll maintain clear troubleshooting documentation, act as an internal escalation point for Tier 1 support cases, and collaborate closely with technical teams to manage escalations effectively. Success in this role depends on your ability to combine strong technical acumen with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to deliver high-quality support that meets key performance goals such as response time, quality, and customer satisfaction.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• 1–3 years of proven experience in a customer service or technical support role, ideally within the B2B sector.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to apply analytical and investigative skills to resolve customer issues creatively and independently.
• Basic working knowledge of CSS, HTML, and website CMS tools.
• A customer-focused attitude — enthusiastic, courteous, assertive, and proactive in driving engagement and resolution.
• Excellent teamwork skills, with a positive, friendly, and can-do approach when collaborating with both customers and colleagues.
• Openness to learn new and complex topics, constructive feedback and adaptability to business changes.
• Confidence and professionalism in handling complaints, mediating conflicts, and troubleshooting technical issues.
• Experience in the travel, tourism, leisure, or hospitality industries is a plus, but not essential for candidates with a strong passion for customer care.
• Experience working toward customer satisfaction targets and operational metrics, including quality, efficiency, and handle time.
• Fluency in written and spoken English and Italian.
• Ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment, identify next steps, and follow through with precision.
• Flexibility to work shift patterns, including occasional weekends.
