The Customer Support team at Shine

Salary is a standalone Danish payroll product within the wider Shine family.

You will join a small and easy-going team of three colleagues who work closely together and depend on each other. We believe it is important to ask for help when you need it and to be happy to step in when a colleague needs a hand.
Our work has busy periods, especially around the main payroll runs, where the focus is on supporting our customers, as well as quieter periods where we each have time to focus on other tasks and projects. This makes good communication and teamwork an important part of how we work together. We have a warm, collaborative team spirit and are always happy to share knowledge, support each other and learn from one another.

We are excited to welcome a fourth person to the team and look forward to getting to know you, learning from you and working together to make Salary even better.

Your role as a Customer Support Specialist

You will be one of the people our customers turn to when they need help with their payroll. Your primary focus will be delivering an excellent support experience through direct contact by phone, email and chat. You do not need to be a payroll expert from day one: we are looking for someone with a strong customer support mindset who is curious, eager to learn and motivated to develop expertise in payroll processes, calculations and relevant legislation.

During quieter periods outside the main payroll runs, you will also work more closely with larger customers, write payroll support articles, conduct product testing, and optimize customer support workflows to create an even better experience for both our team and our customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Providing friendly, professional and solution-oriented support to customers by phone, email and chat
- Investigating and resolving customer questions, including complex cases involving payroll calculations , payroll processes and relevant rules and legislation
- Building knowledge of Danish payroll processes and becoming a trusted point of contact for our customers
- Working closely with the team to share knowledge, coordinate support and ensure a consistent customer experience
- Identifying recurring issues, product gaps and opportunities for improvement, and sharing your insights with product and development
- Supporting customer success activities for larger customers, including onboarding, product demonstrations, and gathering customer feedback
- Improving support content and ways of working by writing payroll support articles for internal and external use
