The Opportunity

As a Feature Activation Specialist at Phorest, you will play a critical role in helping salons unlock value from their software package by activating and implementing key features in a timely and effective manner. You’ll take ownership of building, updating, and managing custom salon apps for both new and existing clients. A key part of your role involves proactively reaching out to clients to gather the information needed for app setup.

You’ll also support salons in getting started with tools like Phorest Ads Manager, guiding them through setup and resolving any issues that arise. Whether it's launching a branded app or enabling a new feature, you’ll ensure each client gets the most out of their Phorest experience. This role blends technical precision, proactive communication, and a strong customer-first mindset to drive meaningful results for salon businesses.
