Job Description

Who we are

Our goal at OpenUp is to make mental well-being accessible to everyone. We support companies, their employees, and employees' families with mental well-being. Our OpenUp platform provides employees and their families access to mental well-being check-ins, online courses, articles, videos, interactive group sessions, mindfulness sessions, and a team of experienced experts. We believe that physical and mental well-being go hand in hand, and that lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, and stress management are key to achieving balance. By integrating our Lifestyle Experts to the platform with a focus on nutrition, exercise and sleep, we ensure a holistic approach to health. We strive to build high-performing teams that help people develop to their fullest potential. We take pride in raising the bar and achieving the next level.

OpenUp is ranked number 3 on LinkedIn’s Top Startups list for 2024 and is rapidly growing. We are expanding our international teams and we are searching for like-minded talent. We are already helping over 1500+ (international) companies and 400K+ employees, e.g. Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, KPMG, and McDonalds.

About the job
At OpenUp we are focussing on the preventive care, what means that we don’t do diagnosis, but we are there for the day-to-day struggles, such as work related problems, relationships issues, self confidence, purpose of life and lots more! As a Customer Support Specialist (Mental Wellbeing), you will be the first line of support for our users, providing guidance and resources to enhance their mental well-being. You will drive user engagement, manage chat groups, and collaborate with our Product team to improve the user experience.

  • Be the first point of contact for users reaching out through phone, chat, or email — offering a warm welcome and clear guidance.
  • Answer platform- and product-related questions, troubleshoot basic technical issues, and direct users to the right resources.
  • Support individuals with everyday challenges by listening, providing practical advice, and connecting them with relevant OpenUp services.
  • Manage and drive engagement in chat groups (Rooms) within the app to foster an active community.
  • Promote our offerings (masterclasses, group sessions, self-guided care, one-on-one sessions) in a clear and engaging way.
  • Act as a bridge between OpenUp, referral institutions, and users, ensuring smooth communication and coordination.
  • Support the Customer Success team by handling transactional queries from small businesses and being the first point of contact for HR-related inquiries.
Secondary responsibilities
  • Collaborate with the Product team to share user feedback and help design an even better experience.
  • Collect and update FAQs based on user interactions.
  • Analyze data and trends to improve support services and user engagement.
  • Contribute to a self-managing team culture by coordinating with colleagues on scheduling and shared responsibilities.

About you
You’re motivated to work in a fast-paced, international startup environment. Your values align with OpenUp’s mission: openness to cultural diversity, genuine motivation to help others, and a long-term orientation for finding lasting solutions. You thrive in a dynamic, growing team where no two days are the same. Next to that:
  • Fluency in English and Dutch are a must.
  • You have a BA degree in a people or business-related field (e.g. HR, Business, Psychology, Behavioral Science, Social work, or a related area).
  • Experience in customer support is required, with a strong understanding of processes, tools, and workflows.
  • You’re a team player, but also able to work independently and proactively.
  • You manage multiple tasks with ease and can flexibly switch between them.
  • You know how to build and maintain user engagement in a digital/remote setting.
  • You are solution-focused and able to provide clear, practical advice in a short period of time.
  • You’re resilient, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
  • You have solid computer skills and an interest in experimenting with new technologies.
  • Curiosity for AI and its potential in improving user engagement is a strong plus.
  • Prior experience in HR, employee wellbeing, or preventive care is a plus, but not required.
  • Training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is also a plus.
