Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Customer Support Associate role sits at a mature SaaS scale point: Assent has passed the $100M ARR mark and operates a platform used by large manufacturers to manage supply-chain sustainability and compliance. In SaaS terms, that means support is not limited to troubleshooting a product UI; it becomes part of the operational backbone that keeps complex, multi-stakeholder workflows moving across clients and their supplier networks, with German language coverage adding regional reach.
For a SaaS career, the work builds durable experience in high-volume, process-driven customer operations—multi-channel outreach, structured follow-up, documentation quality checks, and coordination with adjacent teams like Program Success and Sales. It also exposes how SaaS companies drive adoption beyond the direct buyer by educating external users (suppliers) through calls and webinars, a recurring pattern in B2B platforms where value depends on ecosystem participation.
This position tends to suit early-career professionals who like structured communication work, persistence with non-responsive contacts, and clear service outcomes. It fits someone interested in the intersection of customer support and compliance-oriented product use, and who is comfortable switching between languages while keeping records accurate and timelines under control.
