Job Description

Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm on a mission to make boards more effective, and through them, build better businesses and benefit society.

Over twenty years we have established ourselves as the market leader in governance and board effectiveness, trusted by more than 80,000 directors, executives, and governance professionals globally, including across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. That trust has been earned through depth of insight, rigorous advisory work, and a track record that newer entrants simply cannot replicate.

We have invested in applied AI since 2020, well ahead of the market, and that early conviction has paid off. Our AI-powered platform and smart board advisor give us a competitive advantage that is widening, not narrowing. In 2024, K1 Investment Management, the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, backed us to accelerate that position further. We are now growing fast, with a proven commercial model spanning both mid-market and enterprise, and a product suite that has become a necessary addition in high-stakes board environments.

The people joining us now will shape how we scale. We are deliberate about how we do that. Our founders and leadership team are deeply invested in keeping the culture that got us here: thoughtful, high calibre, and genuinely human. Ambition and balance are not in competition at Board Intelligence.

If you want to work at the intersection of AI and governance, on problems that matter at the highest level, this is a strong place to be.

Our Mission

We unleash the potential of organisations through the science of board effectiveness,



building better businesses and benefitting society.

The Role

As we grow our global client base, we are expanding our round-the-clock support coverage and are looking for a Customer Support Specialist (First Line Support) to join BI24, our 24/7 support team, based in Sydney, Australia.

You will become an expert on the Board Intelligence platform, providing exceptional, concierge-style support to our global network of clients so they get fast, confident resolutions to their queries. Working UK hours from Sydney, you will be the principal point of contact for the UK business overnight, bridging the gap between the UK team finishing their day and starting the next.

While you will be based in Sydney, you will be working closely with, and reporting into, a UK-based team, so a strong affinity for UK working culture and communication style is key.

This role will work from 8am-5pm AEST which covers our overnight shift in the UK. We are recruiting for two possible day patterns:

- Sunday to Thursday
- Tuesday to Saturday

The specific pattern for this hire will be agreed at offer stage, based on team coverage needs.

Three days a week you will be supported by another out-of-hours colleague. On the other nights you will be the principal point of contact for the business.



During quieter periods there is the opportunity to support other parts of the business and learn new skills.

Main Responsibilities

- As first point of contact by phone or email, diagnose and resolve client queries in line with our SLAs — timely, concise and effective responses built on a full understanding of the user’s query — while remaining alert to incoming calls, emails and internal requests.
- Use your judgement to assess whether an issue is a software bug or reveals a need for more advanced training, identifying and escalating anything requiring further investigation.
- Stay vigilant to internal messaging and communication, including platform status and uptime, which may indicate issues a client is experiencing.
- Where you cannot resolve an issue, elevate to Second Line Support, Engineering or Customer Success, explaining the context, the steps you took to diagnose it, and any notes on the user’s situation.
- Stay fully aware of daily workload expectations, ensuring worksheets and flows are used.
- Support client self-serve strategies by contributing to support articles and occasional client training.
- Perform routine client audits and maintain accurate records of all client interactions.
- Become an expert on Board Intelligence, keeping up to date with product developments by engaging with UK daytime content and meeting recordings, and building relationships with colleagues across the business.
- Conduct user data requests and analysis, and ad hoc platform testing.
- Take on projects from other teams to help further our company objectives.
- Provide a feedback loop to the product and customer teams, representing the customer voice.
- Proactively contribute ideas for the improve
