Figured – Customer Success Specialist – Auckland, New Zealand
Job Description
Description
Love numbers and enjoy helping customers, but looking for a sea change? We’re looking for someone with accounting nous to make a big impact in a rising NZ SaaS star in our Customer Success team.
You might have studied accounting or have started work life in a practice but you have been wondering if there’s more out there? Maybe you grew up on a farm and would love to give back to the industry while experiencing life in a high growth tech company.
Lay of the land
Come and make a real impact in one of New Zealand’s rising tech stars. Figured’s helping over 30,000 farms globally better manage their financial performance. Our mission is to help farming be more profitable and sustainable, now and for future generations.
We have taken our vision from Aotearoa to the world and now have teams across Australia, the United Kingdom and North America.
As a company, we pride ourselves on our people-first culture. We provide unique opportunities that are equally challenging and rewarding, and an environment where people are celebrated for the impact they make, encouraged to bring their whole selves to work and supported to grow.
Figured
One of the biggest causes of stress for farmers comes from not knowing their financial position, not feeling in control, and not feeling supported. Figured provides confidence by providing them with clarity and control, and by connecting them to their financial advisors.
Figured is a SaaS platform that works with other cloud accounting software, to enable the whole farming team: Farmers, Accountants, and Bankers to work together on a single set of financial data, bringing together farm production information with financial data to create a clearer picture of the farms financial position.
