Support Analyst – Southampton

The primary purpose of this role is to support MMS’s client base by responding to client-specific issues and queries related to Meddbase software.  You will be required to take ownership of tickets from first client contact through to satisfactory and timely resolution.

Showing initiative and investigating possible causes/solutions independently will be expected on a daily basis. You’ll communicate your findings to encourage knowledge sharing across the team. A crucial element of the role is to clearly document all communications with the client – such as, all steps taken to replicate the problem, any investigations made, ticket progress status… etc. You’ll troubleshoot and resolve client issues within agreed SLA’s.

The role requires excellent interpersonal skills in order to deliver outstanding customer service. You will be required to articulate system features to clients in simple terms and strive to provide customer satisfaction at all times.

The bulk of time will be spent responding to client queries (in ‘ticket’ format) via email and via telephone, hence excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.

In addition, it is worth noting that the role encompasses both the concepts of application usage from the end user’s perspective, but also the administration and maintenance of the platform which often involves back-end configuration.

From the outset, you will be expected to learn the platform thoroughly from front-end to back-end. Comprehensive training is provided given that Meddbase is a bespoke application. You will be involved in client projects from time to time. This role will include a fair amount of scripting and a basic understanding of large-scale cloud applications.

Due to the bespoke nature of the application, there will ongoing product training and insights sessions, such as ‘lunch and learn’ and ‘show and tell.’ It is anticipated that you will be genuinely curious about technology and software. You will be keen to show initiative and be interested in continuously gaining knowledge.

Company Culture

Although our business has been up and running since 2004, we foster a relaxed working environment that has a ‘start up’ feel. Whilst our primary office is in Broad Street in the City of London, we also have a superb new office space in Southampton and post-Covid we are flexible and supportive of staff working from home where possible.

As we grow Meddbase, we’ll aim to keep our teams creative, efficient and customer-focused even as we introduce additional leadership and structure.

Who are we looking for?

We tend to hire creative and passionate individuals who thrive on finding innovative solutions to problems. We do not expect everyone to have a degree-level qualification to join our business.

Our company benefits (upon completion of probationary) include:
• Life assurance of 4 x annual salary

We then progress to holding annual performance reviews but there are lots of informal opportunities to talk about any support you need to thrive at Meddbase.
