Description

Who we are

At DESelect we make it easy for marketers to segment their customer data in order to do targeted and personalized campaigns. Specifically, we have created an app available on the Salesforce AppExchange. We also partner with Salesforce and multiple consulting firms and marketing agencies. We have customers all over the world, including USA, UK, Europe and Australia.

We do have an office in Antwerp, but about half of the company works remotely from different countries, like Greece, Croatia, Ukraine, Italy, Turkey, Poland. We’re currently with 20+ FTEs.

We are a young but fast-growing and very ambitious company with our main objective being GROWTH. To learn about our company culture, check out https://deselect.com/about, and pay close attention to our principles described there. DESelect is a place that enables you to be all you possibly can, with a stimulating work culture that believes in investing in and growing its people.

So what exactly does DESelect do?

We offer SaaS solutions that make it easier for users of Salesforce Marketing Cloud to create campaign segmentations (determining who they want to send their campaigns to). We provide a drag-and-drop interface so users don’t have to write SQL queries to do their segmentations.

Mission

Our core product is a software product that provides a powerful yet user-friendly UI that allows marketers to build their campaign segments, and builds a SQL query in the backend.

The core mission of a technical support manager is to make sure our customers are successful with our software products.

As you can imagine, helping customers with questions requires a good understanding of data models, understanding SQL queries, and converting SQL queries to DESelect functionality and the other way around.

Some typical kind of questions you’d help resolve:

  • Why does this SQL query give another result than I’m expecting?
  • Why does this selection built in DESelect give another result than this SQL query I have?
  • How do I convert this SQL query into a DESelect selection?
  • What should my master selections look like? (to build master data tables that are the input for DESelect selections?)
  • I’m trying to achieve result X, how do I do that in DESelect?
  • How can I optimize my selection?

You also provide our partners and sales people with the necessary means to position DESelect with their customers.

Accountabilities

As a technical support manager, you will be responsible for the following:

  • Answering questions coming in through technical support cases or during trainings:  questions from customers, mainly regarding conversion between SQL queries and DESelect functionality
  • Supporting less-technical customer success managers with keeping training materials and help desk support articles up-to-date with new developments, and creating new articles based on questions asked by customers.
  • Collaborating with the product team:
  • Communicate product feedback to the product team, provide input into the product roadmap
  • Troubleshooting technical issues raised by customers
  • Support Sales:
  • During the sales process, customers will often give us SQL queries and ask how we can achieve the same result within DESelect. Your job is to help sales people with these questions, and build demo selections for complex questions.
  • Professional Services: In the near future, we want to start offering some services to customers, that are partly consultative in nature. In some cases and for certain services customers already work with SI’s (service integrators) to provide such services. In other cases DESelect is in a good position to help the customer optimise their setup for getting segmentation to the next level. Concretely, this would be services like thinking with the customer about their data model, helping them make some decisions about how to configure certain features within DEselect, building selections together etc.

Location

Working completely or partly remote is possible for this role, but you need to be located within the EU, as you would have access to customer data that needs to remain within the EU.
