About Wordnerds

Wordnerds is a text analytics tool that helps large organisations *genuinely* understand customers and employees by bridging the gap between what AI can deliver and the information insights professionals actually need.

Trusted by organisations like M&S, Yahoo!, Sainsbury’s, B&Q and the UK Government, Wordnerds tells you exactly what to do from the millions of survey results, reviews, social posts, emails, webchats, CRM-entries and call centre transcripts across your organisation. The result:

• An indispensable insights team
• Better decision-making
• Improved customer experience

When it comes to turning text into action, AI alone isn’t enough. We work at the intersection of the latest AI/NLP techniques (think ChatGPT and Google Bard) and old skool linguistics to help you find:

• Surprises! Things your customers are telling you that you didn’t know to listen for
• The causes of your issues, so you can go fix them
• Anything you want! Train-your-own classification models in less than 30 minutes

You can use Wordnerds directly as a SaaS platform or we can provide a fully managed service.

You will need major organisation, workload prioritisation and time management skills as you balance tasks across a number of customers.

What you'll do

Initially you will concentrate on becoming a Wordnerds platform expert, responsible for accurate set-up of accounts on our platform, surfacing the most useful insights and building reports for customers.

Once your knowledge of our software is secure, you will begin to manage a set of customer accounts - becoming the main contact for platform users and their voice within Wordnerds.

Once you’ve grown into the role you will learn to onboard and train customers to use the platform and hold regular check-ins with our customers’ insights teams to identify and solve issues and ensure they’re getting value from their subscription.

You will also be responsible for providing metrics and insight on the health of customer accounts to enable their strategic conversations and put us in the healthiest place for renewals and account growth.

Your work will involve the following activities:

Initially:

• Become an expert in our platform—from project set-up (hello spreadsheets!) to surfacing insights 
• Develop one-to-many resources and videos to help customers help themselves on our platform 
• Share your ideas and feedback—you’ll be a fresh pair of eyes and should always feel able to share honest feedback

Developing to: 

• The day-to-day contact for platform users, supporting customers through any questions/issues they may be have while setting boundaries and empowering customers to use our platform

Skills you'll need

We’re looking for someone with the following skills and traits:

• Super organisation and prioritisation skills—you’ll be balancing a number of accounts at different stages in their customer journey. Adaptability and being comfortable with change is a must. In our fast-paced world things can change at the last minute and tasks can need reprioritised daily. 
• Communication, communication, communication—you’ll be empathic and amazing with people, a fab communicator and you’ll need to be confident working with a range of different people: team members, leadership, analytical and strategic clients. Keep customers in the loop, record and share project actions and outcomes and above all else, listen. 
• Collaborator and problem solver extraordinaire—as a Customer Success Executive you’ll be the glue between Wordnerds and our clients. You’ll know what they need, what’s stopping them and the right people to bring together to solve it. We’re constantly stepping back to see the bigger picture and working together to solve problems and provide solutions.
• A lower-case nerd 🤓—if you like spreadsheets and deep-diving into data this role might just scratch that itch.
• Self-motivated with a can-do attitude—we don’t micro-manage and never want to. You’re in the driving seat so you'll be comfortable managing your own time and prioritising your work independently, reaching out when you need help or resources 
• All about the team—although you will ultimately manage your own portfolio of customers, we are very much looking for someone with a strong team ethic. We all play our part in the collective goal and look after each other wherever we can
• A thirst for learning and comfy with change—we’re a SaaS start-up and we’re growing. That means there’s no blueprint, no rulebook to follow. Experiment, review, iterate, repeat…
• A nice human.
