Software Support Team Lead

At Xplor, we believe that helping people make the most of each day is the most rewarding way to spend ours.

We give small and medium-sized businesses cloud-based, intuitive technology solutions that enable them to manage all the hassles of running and growing a business, so business owners can get back to doing what they love. With Xplor Pay, we help businesses get paid quickly and securely – without hidden fees. We built the tech ourselves, and our platform delivers secure, transparent, fast, and accurate payments.

Join our Global Operations Team, supporting our Fitness & Wellbeing customers as a Software Support Team Lead in Melbourne to help shape the way we support our customers, one interaction at a time. Every conversation, every ticket, and every solution is another opportunity to enrich our customers’ experiences.
