About The Role

  • LemFi is the financial engine for people the world wasn't built to serve. We handle real money for real people - remittances, multi-currency accounts, savings, eSIMs and credit across roughly 21 countries. When something goes wrong for a customer, the Customer Support team is the difference between trust earned and a customer lost forever.
  • We are growing our support team and looking for sharp, driven people who are at the very start of their careers and want to build something meaningful. You do not need years of experience. You need to care deeply, communicate clearly, and be the kind of person who does not stop until a problem is actually solved. Professional fluency in French, Spanish or German (spoken and written) is an advantage to support our multilingual customer base. This role demands strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a genuine commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience.

What you'll build and own

  • Be the first point of contact for LemFi customers - resolving queries on transfers, accounts and products through chat, email and other channels, quickly and with genuine empathy
  • Own every issue you pick up from first contact to resolution, escalating to the right teams when needed and always following up so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Spot patterns in the questions and complaints coming in, flag them clearly to your team lead, and suggest improvements that remove the root cause - not just the symptom
  • Use AI-assisted tools and knowledge-base resources to find answers faster, while applying your own judgement to make sure the response actually fits the customer's situation
  • Keep customer records and interaction logs accurate and up to date so the whole team can trust the data they work from
  • Represent the LemFi brand in every interaction - plain language, no jargon, real answers, and a warm tone even in difficult moments
  • Participate actively in weekly team meetings. Share feedback and help implement improvements based on real customer interactions.

Your experience

  • An undergraduate degree (any discipline) from a recognised university, or a postgraduate qualification
  • Zero to two years of work experience - we welcome fresh graduates and those early in their careers equally.
  • Exceptional written and spoken English: clear, concise and warm.
  • The kind of person who reads a problem properly before responding and is genuinely bothered when a customer leaves without their issue solved
  • Able to stay organised and accurate when handling multiple conversations at once, without letting quality slip
  • Comfortable working with modern tools: Google Workspace, CRM platforms. You pick up new systems quickly.
  • Self-driven and reliable. You work independently, prioritize effectively and deliver high-quality work across multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Strong attention to detail and a customer-obsessed mindset. You genuinely care about building great support experiences.

Nice to have

  • Prior exposure to a fintech, bank or customer-facing role (even briefly, or through an internship)
  • Familiarity with any ticketing or CRM platform
  • Fluency in an additional language spoken by LemFi's customer base

The purpose of this role is to guide customers through onboarding, payments, virtual card, investment processes and other services; resolve technical and operational issues; ensure timely and complete resolutions; and deliver a consistently excellent customer experience. The role also provides reliable follow-up on escalations, supports compliance checks, and contributes to improving support systems and workflows. Primary duties and responsibilities Customer Interaction & Issue Resolution Serve as the primary contact for users across all channels, responding to inquiries with clarity, patience, and speed. Guide users through onboarding steps, including account setup and KYC verification, resolving documentation or submission errors. Help customers complete banking actions such as deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and currency conversions. Support users on profile management, security settings, rewards, and other account features. Troubleshoot virtual card issues, including activation, declines, pending transactions, pay-ins, and payouts. Explain and simplify compliance processes such as AML checks, account holds, and risk flag notifications. Provide specialised support for high-risk transactions, compliance inquiries, and advanced troubleshooting. Product Understanding & Advisory Explain product features, terms, and risks for investment and savings products. Assist users in interpreting portfolio reports, returns calculations, and balance discrepancies. Act as an internal liaison for issues involving third-party partners (e.g., payment or stablecoin integrations).

Share customer insights to help improve product features and service processes. Contribute to building and refining customer support workflows, documentation, and standard operating procedures.

Promptly handled approximately 100 daily customer inquiries via live chat and email, ensuring timely resolution. Maintain professionalism, sound judgment, and calm communication, especially during risk- or fraud-related incidents. Job Requirements 0 - 2 years of professional work experience (fresh graduates and early-career candidates are strongly encouraged to apply) Strong critical thinking and problem-solving ability, you'll regularly encounter situations with no exact script, and need to reason through the right response rather than default to a template High coachability: genuinely open to feedback, correction, and repeated practice without taking it personally. You should be energised by being told "do it this way" and improving from it, not defensive about it Comfortable with a fast-paced, high-accountability environment, this is detailed, sometimes repetitive, sometimes stressful work involving real customer money and real customer frustration. Strong written communication skills, clear, empathetic, and grammatically sound English. Basic comfort with learning new tools quickly (we use ticketing and QA platforms you'll be trained on, but you should be the type who explores a new tool rather than waiting to be shown every click) Resilience under repetition and correction: you'll be scored, coached, and re-coached regularly as part of how we maintain quality. Prior customer support is a plus, but not required; we are prioritising trainability and attitude over tenure
