Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a natural people person with an ability to understand the needs of the customer. You'll have an inquisitive mindset with a flair for problem solving
- At least 1 year of previous experience in a non-scripted customer helpdesk role (either in SaaS or the IT or Automotive industry would be preferrable)
- Experience of working in a dealership, or having previously worked with the Pinewood.AI system (formerly Pinewood DMS/Pinnacle), is highly beneficial but not essential

- A strong attention to detail and ability to think outside of the box

What the job involves
- Pinewood.AI currently has an exciting opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic and customer-focused Support Consultant to join the team and help deliver an exceptional service to the end users of our cloud-based system application (Dealer Management System)
- As a Customer Support Consultant, you will be the first point of contact for our customers, assisting with any day-to-day queries, helping to trouble shoot problems, and providing client training
- Providing clients with an excellent customer service via phone, email, and webchat
- Diagnosing and finding solutions to customer queries in a timely, professional manner
- Developing relationships with stakeholders across the business and communicating product related issues to the relevant team
- Logging and investigating outstanding tickets
- Contributing to and helping to develop Pinewood’s internal knowledge base
- As your knowledge grows, providing support to more junior members of the team
- This is a full-time position on a three-shift rota (8:00am - 4:30pm, 9:00am - 5:30pm and 10:30am - 7:00pm). Occasional weekend and bank holiday work is also expected and will work on a rolling shift pattern
Our take
Pinewood.AI is an Automotive Intelligence Platform tailored for car retailers and manufacturers (OEMs), helping them drive growth and profitability across every area of their operations. Essentially, it functions like a modern Dealership Management System (DMS) but more powerful, combining sales, service, accounting, customer engagement, and business intelligence in one system.
The platform stands out by leveraging real-time data and AI to give users visibility and insight into everything that happens at a dealership. It also supports OEMS by allowing tight integration between manufacturers and their retail networks, so that manufacturers can maintain a consistent, data-driven customer experience across markets.
Pinewood has also experienced significant momentum recently, with its H1 FY25 revenue rising by 21.7% to £19.6M, driven largely by recurring spending from existing clients and the integration of its Seez AI solution. Gross profit also climbed 17.2%, and its underlying EBITDA reached £7.9M, a testament to both growth and operational leverage. With this strong momentum, the company has even bigger targets for the years to come.
