Why this role matters

Join EmbedPeople as a full-time team member, embedded with our client in the Netherlands. The client is a fast-growing digital platform that makes mental healthcare more accessible.

As Customer Support Specialist you are the day-to-day point of contact for users. You don't just close tickets. You own the support function: solve issues, spot patterns, suggest improvements, and keep documentation sharp. It's a solo role with real ownership, with close support from the product team for technical depth.

What you will do

  • Handle support requests through the support portal and by phone
  • Troubleshoot platform issues and guide users through solutions step by step
  • Resolve incidents carefully and signal recurring problems
  • Translate patterns into concrete process and product improvements
  • Keep help articles and internal documentation accurate and up to date
  • Handle backoffice tasks: monthly billing data, reporting, training administration
  • Work directly with the product team on complex questions about modules and features

What we are looking for

  • Fluent in Dutch (C1/C2, written and spoken). You will support Dutch healthcare users every day, so this is non-negotiable
  • 2+ years of relevant experience in customer service, helpdesk, backoffice or support
  • Strong communicator across phone and written channels, with patience for users at different skill levels
  • Proactive: you see work that needs doing and pick it up without waiting
  • Accurate and structured, comfortable balancing support tickets with administrative work
  • Quick to learn new systems and happy to help others use them
  • Calm under pressure, flexible with ad-hoc requests

If you do not match every point on this list but think you are a strong fit, apply anyway. We read every application.

Nice to have

  • Experience in healthcare, wellbeing or the social sector is a plus, not a hard requirement
  • Experience in SaaS companies

What you get

  • A long-term placement with one trusted Dutch client, not rotating projects
  • Working hours aligned to Dutch business hours
  • Competitive ZAR salary based on experience
  • Paid leave and standard South African employment benefits through EmbedPeople
  • Direct line into a Dutch product team building something that matters
  • Room to take ownership and shape how support runs
