This role is impactful because you'll directly shape customer experience while providing valuable feedback to improve the product for agricultural operators who rely on it for their livelihoods.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves responding to customer inquiries via chat about software setup or troubleshooting, conducting video calls with farm owners to guide them through financial reports, and documenting recurring issues or feature requests to share with the product team. You'll spend time deepening your knowledge of both the Ambrook platform and agricultural finance specifics to better serve customers.
